NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES

Roses 
For novelties, see the Novelty Section of this catalogue, all of which we can strongly 
recommend, besides the following four leading classes which should be in every garden. 
TEA, HYBRID TEA AND EVERBLOOMI NG ROSES —Under this heading are gathered 
such roses as will give a fine show of flowers all summer, same as greenhouse roses, yet 
with good covering of leaves, straw or any other dry material and few green boughs, the 
roots are hardy, and, after a good, hard pruning in the spring, they will push their shoots 
and flower all summer. We have a fine stock of this class of roses in 2-year-old plants, 
and can furnish same at 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen; $35.00 per 100; or our selection, $28.00 
per 100. 
HARDY AND HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES —Selected from thousands of varieties 
as the best for the American climate, and embracing all the best-known sorts. We offer 
extra strong 2 and 3-year old plants that give the best satisfaction, and should not be 
compared with cheap second-class stock. Fine dormant stock, 50c. each; $5.00 per dozen; 
$35.00 per 100; our selection, $28.00 per 100. 
CLIMBING, TRAILING AND VARIOUS ROSES —This class of roses can be used for 
covering walls, trellises, trees, stumps, rocks, steep banks and other purposes in land¬ 
scape work, adding beauty and grace, especially the Wichuraiana section, which is here 
enumerated, but more fully described on next pages, also illustrated. Besides the stock 
quoted, we have large pot-grown specimens for immediate effect. Good 2-year-old plants, 
50c. each; $5.00 per dozen; $35.00 per 100; or our selection, $28.00 per 100. 
NEW HYBRID WICHURAIANA ROSES (Memorial Rose) —The most remarkable 
improvement in creating a new and distinct type of Hardy Roses that has been made for 
a generation. The growth is remarkable for its freedom, a single plant four years old, 
covering a space of 240 square feet, with long shoots, 12 to 25 feet in length, completely 
covering the ground with its bright, glossy foliage and showy, fragrant flowers. The 
foliage of all is leathery in texture, shining and not only proof against insects, but ever¬ 
green; in some varieties, that is, keeping the foliage all winter—a characteristic in roses 
never before obtained. The flowers are produced most profusely, of large size, very 
fragrant, and can be easily used for cut-flower purposes. The use of these roses will be 
unlimited—for trailing or covering ground where nothing else would grow, to cover roots, 
stumps and stems of trees, walls and trellises, for cut-flower purposes. All varieties 
exceed any other rose in hardiness, evergreen foliage, beauty and fragrance of their 
flowers. Strong 1-year-old plants, 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. Large 2-year- 
old plants, 45c. each; $4.50 per dozen; $35.00 per 100. 
Chrysanthemums 
Under this heading you will find a list of carefully selected! varieties for exhibition or 
cut-flower purposes. Most of them winners of prizes at the late shows. We have many 
other meritorious varieties too numerous to describe, and can supply you with any sorts 
in cultivation should you desire same. For description and prices of new varieties, see 
Novelty Catalogue. Price of leading varieties, 15c. each; $1.50 per dozen; $9.00 per 100. 
POMPON CHRYSANTHEMUMS —These old-fashioned plants are again the favorites 
of the day on account of their great beauty in the late autumn, being the last flowers to 
brighten the garden long after the first frost has cut down all summer vegetation. For 
landscape effect they are very important, as the color of the flowers blends so well with 
the autumn tints of trees and shrubs. If wanted for house decoration, lift the plants early 
in September and pot same. After they are established they can be brought in the house. 
Price, 15c. each; $1.50 per dozen; $8.00 per 100. 
Of any variety or color that might be desired, for new varieties, see front part of the 
catalogue. 
Carnations 
Of this most popular flower of the day, we grow only the very best favorites that com¬ 
bine good size of flower, fragrance, keeping qualities and productiveness. Even these vary 
considerably on account of soil and treatment they receive. We can supply any other 
variety not listed at market prices. For new Carnations, see our Novelty List, giving- 
description and price. 
We will be pleased to supply all the leading varieties at $1.00 per dozen; $5.00 per 100.
