THE ROSE. 
® UR Roses are always magnificent, and our customers know 
it, for every season brings us more and more orders. 
Like last year they have been free from insects and 
disease, and the growth most vigorous ; iu our unuianured 
soil they luxuriate. Our 50,000 plants are the finest probably 
over seen ; in spite of the adverse weather they have grown 
amazingly. Our deeply trenched soil suits them, and they lift 
with all their roots splendidly, and all those who have not tried 
our Roses we ask that they will give us an order, and it is our 
full conviction that they will be found certainly equal, and in 
most cases better than most growers, particularly those that 
most injure the stock by using strong stimulants to get up 
blooms for exhibition ; the plants are full of sap, and unripe 
growth is often the reason that many do so badly, and often die 
after removul. 
Another secret in getting Roses to grow after removal, particularly Standards, is to prune well 
back and plant early in October, or as soou in November as possible. February and March are the 
best Spring months. By so doing, young fibres are made at once before the cold weather seta 
in, whoreas, if planted later in the usual way, they must stand without nourishment until the 
return of warm weather, and are often past recovery before it arrives.
