OUR PHTRONS. 
I. THE PLANTS.— Wc send out three classes or 
grades of plants of most of the varieties described 
herein. 
First, riants from 2^-iuch pots (with leaves) usually 
(*• to 10 inches high. 
Secmid. Plauts from 4-inch pots, strong and vigor¬ 
ous. usually 10 to 18 inches high, and % 
Third. Strong, dormant plants usually 2 to 3 feet 
high with several branches. 
rhe prices of each kind are shown in the Catalogue. 
Besides the three classes of plants described above, 
we have always on hand a line lot of Tube or Standard 
Roses of most of the leading hardy varieties. These are 
grafted on single stems and stand about four to six feet 
high, and give magnificent (lowers of the 11 nest quality. 
As they cannot be successfully propagated in this 
country it is necessary to import them from France or 
Holland which makes them somewhat expensive. But 
they arc very showy and every lover of roses should 
have a few specimens. Price $2 00 each, $18 00 a dozen. 
These plants aie all the heat of their himl. The pot 
plants are not feeble and weakly, but strong and healthy, 
suitable lor producing the best results. Those of this 
description which wc transplanted into our own grounds 
last year (from the 6raall pots) made a growth during the 
season of two or three feet, and displayed a wealth of 
bloom. There were several acres of them—a sight worth 
seeing.
