The roses we offer are not the little soft plants grown as small as possible so as to send by mail, but good, strong 
two-year plants 18 to 30 inches high and well rooted. No statement is needed to convince planters which are best. 
In describing roses we have used the following letters to designate the class to which each sort belongs: 
H. for Hybrid Perpetual or Remontant. 
H. T. for Hybrid Tea. 
H. C. for Hybrid Climber. 
S. for Summer. 
T. for Tea. 
N. for Noisette. 
H. N. for Hybrid Noisette. 
H. Ch. for Hybrid China. 
P. for Prairie. 
(Noisette, *Bourbon, Bengal or China and Tea.) The following stock we keep in varieties, mostly in pots so they 
can be shipped at any season. They can be planted at any time out of doors or they can remain in the pots for house 
culture and winter blooming. Any treatment that will keep them growing will favor an abundance of bloom. Varieties 
marked (t) are usually hardy in the open ground in this section if suitably protected in winter. 
Bengal or China Rose. A native of China. Of moderate branching growth, with flowers and foliage both small. 
They are not very hardy but with protection are valuable on account of the profusion of crimson buds which such sorts 
as Agrippina produce. 
Bourbon. A hybrid of Bengal and Damask Roses. Quite hardy. Foliage dark and lustrous; habit vigorous; 
flowers are generally of light shades. 
Noisette. Quite hardy. Flowers in small clusters and blooms very freely throughout the season.
