COOLING’S 
Somersetshire Collections 
OF ROSE TREES. 
Either of the following Collections, large or small, will be forwarded, Carriage 
and Packing Free, to any Railway Station in England or Wales upon receipt of 
P.O.O. or Cheque for the amount quoted. 
These assortments are offered for the convenience of the large number who are 
not acquainted with the great variety of Roses now in cultivation, and who are at a 
loss when selecting from the Catalogue. The prices quoted are considerably less 
than if the kinds were individually chosen ; but growing large quantities of what we 
know to be the best varieties, we are enabled to include them at the lower price. 
The Collections have been very largely sold during past years, and give very great 
satisfaction. 
The Selection of Varieties must in all cases be left to Ourselves ; purchasers 
selecting their own varieties will be charged the individual price for each kind as 
quoted in the Catalogue. But in ordering, if customers will send a list of the sorts 
they already have, a distinct selection shall be made ; and if the nature of the soil 
and situation is also mentioned, only the most suitable kinds will be included.

flourished admirably, and we had an immense quantity of flower from them."
