GLEN SAINT MARY NURSERIES 0 0 Almonds : Roses 
Almonds 
We do not recommend this nut for extensive planting in this section of country, as 
Almonds are not certain bearers this far South. We raise a few trees of them, however, which 
are mostly in demand for garden planting, and for filling out collections. The kinds we offer 
are amongst the finest grown; viz., SULTANA and PRINCESS. The soft-shelled Almonds 
of commerce consist principally of these two varieties.

M A.NA new varieties have been added to our list this year, including some of the very 
finest of recent introductions. Descriptions of these new kinds have been made 
direct from the flowers and plants on our own grounds. In the same manner de¬ 
scriptions of varieties previously catalogued have been verified and, where necessary, revised. 
In ordering Roses, the question naturally arises as to what kinds will prove the most satis¬ 
factory. This can often best be decided by ourselves, as we are familiar wtih the different 
varieties and their range of adaptability. We shall take pleasure in making selections for our 
customers, or in aiding them to do so, upon request. 
As a general thing Roses do better where grafted upon some strong-growing stock. With 
the exception of a few kinds, which are vigorous growers, the plants we offer are grafted, 
principal !) 1 upon Madam Plantier stocks. All of them are open-ground grown, strong, thrifty— 
and in every way more desirable than the small pot-grown plants grown farther north. 
I here are several different classes of Roses. The class indicates, to a large extent, the 
character of the variety, and to some extent, its adaptability. These classes are indicated by
