SPECIAL AND IMPORT PRICES FOR 1902. 
ROSA MLJLTIFLORA.. — From Wood and Garden. 
Roses. 
Dormant Hardy Roses can be supplied 
from October until April 20th, Tea Roses 
all the year. 
After a long experience with Roses, I 
have concluded that the imported budded 
Roses are comparatively worthless for 
general planting, and have decided, with the 
exception of a feiu varieties, which can only 
he obtained in budded plants, to handle 
nothing but American-grown Roses on 
their own roots. The Roses I handle are 
of exceptionally fine quality—there is 
nothing finer to be obtained at any price. 
Dormant Hardy Roses should be planted 
in the fall, or very early in the spring, and 
when planted fully two-thirds of the tops 
should be cut off. This is imperative. 
Protect beds during winter with three or 
four inches of stable manure. 
Roses grown on their own roots do not 
make as large plants in the nursery as 
budded plants, but their superiority is un¬ 
questioned. I could furnish imported 
budded plants at half the prices quoted 
below and make a good profit. 
A NOTABLE ROSE. 
The Red-Leaved Rose ( Rosa Rubifolia) 
is little known, but deserves the greatest 
popularity, both on account of its foliage 
and flowers. The foliage is reddish purple, 
better than most of the purple-leaved 
shrubs, and this foliage, combined with a 
multitude of single pink flowers, make a 
unique effect not obtainable with any'other 
plant that I know of. The place for this rose 
is in shrubbery or on the lawn, as it is a free, 
vigorous grower. It can also be used advan¬ 
tageously for naturalizing. It is of the 
easiest culture, and will grow in almost any 
soil or situation. Price 30c. each; $3.00 per 
dozen ; $20.00per 100. Small plants 20 cents 
each; $1.50 per dozen ; fS.oo per 100.

Universal Favorite. A free grower, producing long 
branching shoots, with bright sh ny foliage in 
abundance and soft,light pink double flowers, two 
inches in diameter, strongly perfumed.$ 
South Orange Perfection. This is a gem,with free growth 
close to the ground, and produces multitudes of the 
most perfectly formed double white flowers, about 
one and a half inches in diameter, soft blush pink 
at the tips, changing to white... 
Manda's Triumph. This is a grand hybrid of free growth, 
with fine foliage, and clusters of from twelve to 
eighteen flowers on even a small size shoot, literally 
covering the plant with its perfectly formed double 
white flowers, nearly two inches across, beautifully 
imbricated ; a valuable sort for either cut flowers or 
pot plants. It is also very sweet scented.. 
Pink Roamer. This is without question a hybrid be¬ 
tween the “ Sw«etbriar” and carries these charac¬ 
teristics in bloom, while the growth, whi* h is very 
rampant, partakes more of the Wicliuriana.” 
The single flowers, which are produced in close 
heads, are nearly two inches in diameter, bright 
rich pink, with almost a white center, which 
lightens up the orange red stamens, producing an 
effect which, combined with the fragrance, makes 
it one of the most valuable roses in cultivation.
