Ilml Mierophylla. Siniilartotheabove 
variety in all the more prominent characi er- 
istics, but not such a general favorite ; flow- 
ers red. 10 cents. 
Moss looses. 
Moss Roses stand alone in picturesque 
beauty, different and distinct from all others. 
Their opening buds, half covered with deli 
cate, clinging moss of fairy-like texture, are 
very generally admired. The plants are 
strong, vigorous growers, perfectly hardy, 
and therefore justly esteemed as desirable 
for outdoor culture in the open ground. 
Most varieties bloom but once in a season, 
and usually not the first year, but the 
flowers find buds are verv handsome. They remain in bloom a longtime, and are highly prized wherever beauti- 
ful Roses are known. Moss Roses like rich ground, and are much improved in beauty and fragrance by liberal 
manuring and good cultivation, but they bear hardships and neglect well, and always bloom profusely. Being 
difficult and slow of propagation, the price is higher than for other Roses.
