Roses 
For the benefit of my patrons I wish to say that this spring and fall I am offering Roses 
grown in pots. Every flower lover wants some of the choice roses to make the flower 
garden complete. For years I have been selling dormant roses which were field grown. 
This class of stock if given proper care is in most cases satisfactory but the beginner often 
has not had experience and as a consequence his roses fail to produce the required results. 
I find that most customers had rather pay a small advance in price and be sure of having 
first class results. To meet this demand I have arranged with a large rose grower to supply 
me with roses in 2-year stock, grown in pots. These roses are not forced in the greenhouse 
but are grown outside in pots and kept in frames through the winter so they are ready in 
the early spring to start growing. Grown in pots this way, they are not disturbed when 
shipped, and keep along in their growth. These are shipped in paper pots with the earth 
left on the roots. They go by express or freight (we advise express in small shipments) 
at the expense of the customer. 
Hybrid Tea Roses 
The Hybrid Tea Roses are, without question, the most desirable from which to select 
garden roses. By careful selection one can procure a collection which will produce bloom 
from June until frost. Strong, 2-year size, 5-inch pots; 50c. per plant, $5.00 per dozen, of 
one variety. 
BETTY. Coppery yellow, overspread with golden rose; long, pointed bud and large, 
fairly full flower. When established this is a strong-growing and an unusually 
prolific variety. 
BESSIE BROWN. Creamy-white flowers of immense size; good substance, very fra¬ 
grant. A strong vigorous grower; particularly good in autumn. 
CARDINAL. Rich cardinal red; full and very free. A garden rose of excellent habit. 
Spiranthes cernua
