t \ oss Roses. 
Moss Roses stand alone in picturesque beauty , different and distinct from all others. Their opening buds, 
half covered with delicate, 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 tirst year, but the flowers 
and buds are very handsome. They remain in bloom a long time, aud are highly prized wherever beautiful 
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 hard- 
ships and neglect well, and always bloom profusely. 
Being difficult and slow of propagation, the price is 
higher than for other Roses. 
Price, 20 cents each.
