C. & J. RELIABLE COLLECTION 
Equipped with the benefit of a half a century’s experience in intelligent Rose-growing, by our faithful 
attention to the wants of customers, we have won a confidence that we consider one of the most valuable assets, 
of our business. Our appreciation of this confidence, therefore, makes us feel especially the responsibility of 
selecting from among 200 or 300 Teas, Hybrid Teas and Chinas, 12 Roses which we can recommend as the most 
reliable for general planting. There are so many beautiful Roses nowadays that it would not be just to say of 
any 12, “ these are the best.” But we do say that in this set of 12 each one contains the qualities of a high- 
grade Rose. They are all strong, vigorous growers, bloom abundantly, and all are among the hardiest in this 
everblooming class. Just enough in this collection to fill a bed 3 feet wide by 8 feet long. They will bloom the 
first season and every succeeding season, all summer long, even the one-year size; best about them, however, is 
the beauty of the flowers, in form, color, fragrance, every way; but read the descriptions, and note that most of 
these Roses are illustrated elsewhere. If planted in your garden you’ll like them, we are sure.
