SELECTED STANDARD PLANTS, 
Our list is not the largest in the country, but it has the solid grains of wheat, and the 
absence of chaff oniy makes selection easier. The stock is well grown and healthy. 
ROSES. 
Few words need be said in regard to roses. They are still leading all plants in pub- 
lic favor, and we are glad to offer the best varieties known. 
TEA ROSES. 
In our collection will be found only the cream of the tea roses. In our opinion there 
is no class of plants that will give better satisfaction for money expended.

open ground, 50 cents each.
