Roses 
Among all the flowering shrubs 
that make for beauty, grace 
and ornamentation, there is none 
which can compare with the 
Rose. The wide range of color, 
shape and sizq of the blooms 
and the diversity and char¬ 
acter of the foliage gives it a 
wider range for decoration than 
any other single group of plants. 
When added to these quali¬ 
fications are ease of culture, 
quick and ample response in 
blossoms, it is not to be won¬ 
dered that the Rose has been 
termed aptly the ‘‘Queen of 
General Jacqueminot Flowers.” In nearly all col¬ 
lections of flowering and ornamental shrubs, it occupies first place. . 
Culture Directions — Roses thrive in a clay loam enriched with 
well-rotted manure. They should also have an open,. airy situation 
unshaded by trees or buildings wherever possible. Dig up the soil 
thoroughly to a depth of 12 or 15 inches. Soak the beds occasionally 
with weak manure water. 
Price of all Varieties of Rose Bushes 
Strong, Field-Grown, 2 Years Old, 25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
This class of roses is suited admirably 
for garden culture, for the formation 
of rose beds, hedges, and permanent 
plantations where hardy varieties of 
roses are desired. They are of easy 
culture and luxuriant in a deep, rich 
soil. They are benefited by mulching 
in the fall of the year. Prune according 
to the habit of the growth, cutting back 
close all weak shoots and shortening 
the long canes to a convenient length. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY — Very large 
and double of globular shape. Deep 
pink, shaded with carmine. Fragrance 
exquisite. 
WHITE KILLARNEY — A pure white 
sport from the pink parent, the newest 
thing in a forcing rose, admittedly a 
strong competitor of the Bride. Our 
stock is of the true Waban strain. 
MAGNA CIIARTA — A splendid sort, 
bright clear pink, flushed with violet 
crimson, very sweet, flower extra large, 
fine form, very double and full; a free 
bloomer. 
MARGARET DICKSON — New, per¬ 
fectly hardy and very vigorous. A free 
summer anil autumn bloomer. Flowers 
white with pale flesh center, of waxy 
texture and delightful fragrance. 
PINK KILLARNEY — It is perfectly 
hardy in this latitude; in growth it is 
strong and robust, and as free flowering 
as any Rose we know. In color it is a 
sparkling, brilliant, imperial pink; the 
blooms are large, the buds long and 
pointed, the petals very large and of 
great substance, and just as handsome 
in the full-blown flower as in the bud 
form. 
PRINCE CAMILLE DE' ROHAN — 
Very' dark, rich velvety crimson, passing 
to intense maroon, shaded black. 
ULRICH BRUNNER —Extra large, 
bold flowers, full and globular. Color
