IE, oa Madam, 
We have the pleasure to presont you with our New Catalogue of 
Roses, and take this opportunity of thanking you for your continued 
patronage, and hope again to be favoured with your ordor for Roses at an 
early date ; we also respectfully solicit the favour of your recommendation, and assure 
you that all ordors entrusted to us will be executed with the same care and precision 
which has been exercised in the past.

We devote our whole time and attention to the cultiva- 
tion of Roses, and therefore can give better value for money 
than any other firm. We make a special study of all kinds 
of stocks on which Roses are worked, and are prepared to 
give our customers the advantage of our experience. 
The Summer of 1897 having been so exceedingly dry here, the new Roses of 1895 
and 1896 have not been seen at their best, but we have seen fine flowers of the following 
sorts, and we strongly recommend them : — 
Charlotte Gillemot, H.T. Marjorie, H.T. Souv. de Mad. Eugenie Verdier.H.T. 
Francis Dubreuil, T. Mrs. W. J. Grant, H.T. Souv. de President Carnot, H.T. 
Hellen Keller, H.P. Princess Bonnie, H.T. Sylph, T. 
Mad. Abel Chatenay, H.T. Tom Wood, H.P. 
Our Standard and Half-Standard Roses are grand bushy 
plants, growing on light, gritty soil. The roots will be very 
fibrous and numerous, and will transplant far better than 
those grown on stiff, loamy soils. Our Dwarfs are the 
strongest and best we have ever had the pleasure to offer 
to our customers. The wood is so thoroughly ripened that 
they must give every satisfaction. 
Our Export Trade to America, Russia, India, Japan, Ceylon, New Zealand, and all 
over Europe steadily increases, and reports from Customers in these distant parts continue 
to be most encouraging. The last week in October or early in November is the safest time 
to ship Roses for these parts, and we take all risk of delivery. 
We endeavour to treat our Customers liberally, and when 
the choice of sorts is left to us, the best and most suitable are sent, and are charged at 
a low rate. Those who are not acquainted with the manners and customs of 
each rose, will obtain far better results by leaving the selection of sorts to us, simply stating 
the quantity required, position and soil in which they are to be planted. Good 
Standard Roses are scarce, but we have a very large stock 
of magnificent plants.
