GERMAI1S FRUIT COMPANY’S 
ROSES. 
This, the M Queen of Flowers,” is so generally 
known and grown, that but little space need be 
occupied in describing the mode of planting, etc., 
all that is necessary being a good, deep, rich soil, 
liberal manuring and good cultivation. The roses 
we offer are all grown out of doors, are well furn¬ 
ished with roots, and range in height from 1 to 3 
feet. They are well established in 4-inch, 6-inch, 
8-inch and 10-inch pots. Prices respectively 25c, 
50c, 75c and $1.00 each; $2.50, $5.00, $7.50 
and $10.00 per dozen, except where specially 
marked. We give the leading varieties, but can 
also supply many other kinds not herein mentioned.
