C. A. ^eeser, Seedsman and Florist, 
F rom time to time I have inquiries for Hardy Ciimbing Roses 
that are also constant bloomers. 1 would call the attention 
of such to the varieties named below as the best there is, and 
which will give good satisfaction. Most of these Roses bloom 
the first season, but they bloom much more profusely alter 
being out over winter and getting thoroughly established. As a rule 
they are hardy in the Middle States, but in very cold localities they 
should have a light covering of straw or evergreen branches during 
the first Winter at least, and in some situations it may be necessary 
to lay the plants down and cover with a few inches of earth. They 
are strong growers and bloom finely at short intervals all through 
the season, from early Summer till late in the Fall, and the flowers 
are very beautiful. These varieties are described in their proper 
places, but are mentioned here for the convenience of those who are 
looking for the beat Hardy Ever-Blooming Roses.

The Plants and Seed received from you several weeks ago were 
satisfactory to ail concerned. Some of the plants were particularly 
fine. Rubra Begonia was quite large, and the growth was not 
checked. 1 never had young Fuchsias to grow so rapidly. Many 
thanks for your liberality in filling order. The Queen of the Garden 
Cultivator Is a most convenient tool for the garden. My gardener is 
much pleased with It. Mug. E. L. N.
