THE WILD ROSES, OR ROSE SPECIES 
The Rose is a world-wide plant, more than sixty species being recognized as native in 
the United States. It is, however, the Old World species that have given rise to our garden 
treasures in Teas, Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals, and other Roses. Nevertheless, the 
species themselves—meaning those that reproduce themselves from seed—are most effective 
and important in any broad garden treatment, as well as of great interest for their beauty. 
Some of the species are of especial hardiness, and all here described are notably vigorous. 
They are admirable for use in the shrubbery border, or to frame in a Rose-garden, or for 
parks or driveways. 
Ail the varieties not otherwise priced are $1 each, $9 for 10. The varieties priced at 60 cts. each, we grow in 
large quantities, and special prices by the hundred or thousand will be given on request
