A new class of Roses of great value for bedding purposes, as 
they form a mass of bloom. They are of dwarf habit, and the 
flowers are produced in numerous clusters, each flower being one 
inch to one and one-half inches in diameter. The clusters pro¬ 
duce from twenty-five to one hundred flowers each. 
The Polyantha Roses are hardy in this latitude with a slight 
protection. We offer some fine plants.

In this class are found some of the most 
beautiful Roses, they can be successfully 
grown out of doors only when they receive 
the best of care. They must be thoroughly 
pi’otected in winter as a few degrees of frost 
is fatal. When they are given the requisite 
care they are the most satisfactory Roses 
grown, as they will blossom from the begin- 
ing to the end of summer without intermis¬ 
sion. In addition to plenty of manure they 
should have a liberal dressing of nitrate of 
soda and superphosphate, say half a pound 
of each to a square yard of ground. The 
Roses blossom as they grow and need an 
abundant supply of available plant food, 
Not a weed should be suffered to occupy the 
ground. Heavy manuring and clean culti¬ 
vation is the great secret of success.
