Roses* 
The list of varieties is revised , and contains nothing but 
the really most desirable and distinct kinds. 
PLANTING. 1 £ possible select a position sheltered from high winds, but open to sunshine. If the soil is not 
naturally suitable improve it by the addition of rich loam and decomposed cow or stable manure, well worked in* 
where stiff and heavy good drainage and rough stable manure are the essentials. 
When planting, carefully prune all dead or bruised roots or branches, spread the root fibres as much as possible, and 
set deep enough to cover the junction of the bud and stock, thereby preventing suckers, and enabling the rose to 
make roots. 
Our connection with the oldest and largest Nursery in New Eng¬ 
land places us in a position to supply home grown stock of satisfac¬ 
tory quality promptly and at reasonable prices. 
We emphasize the fact that all our Fruit Trees, Shade and Orna¬ 
mental Trees , Evergreen and Flowering Shrubs , Vines and 
Herbaceous Plants are New England grown , consequently of 
sturdy constitution, well rooted, hardy and much more likely to give 
satisfaction to planters than the large plants of softer and unripened 
growth that are easily produced in considerable quantities under the 
milder climatic conditions of the South, and generally offered by 
Nurserymen and Dealers. 
We shall be glad to advise intending buyers as to selection, and 
also furnish plans and estimates for laying out and planting ornamen¬ 
tal grounds. 
While we exercise the greatest care to have all Nursery stock 
pure and reliable, we sell no Trees, Plants, Shrubs or other Nursery 
stock with warranty, express or implied, in any respect. If the pur¬ 
chaser does not accept these goods on these terms, they must be 
returned at once, and the money that has been paid for them will be 
refunded 
During the growing season, frequent waterings with liquid manure are an advantage. It is easily made by mixing cow 
manure with water in an old tub or barrel. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses should be pruned in April, when the sap begins to flow. Crimson and other Rambler Roses 
are best pruned as soon as flowering is past.
