ROSES 
The Rose is so generally known that little need be said 
regarding its cultivation, all that is needed being a good, deep, 
rich soil, liberal manuring and careful cultivation. While 
there are thousands of varieties of Roses grown, we have 
selected the following as being, in our judgment, the very 
best varieties known. All of our Roses are field-grown and 
range in height from 18 to 24 inches, measured from the 
shank up. All roses not listed as “Climbing,” are of the Bush 
variety.
