The Elm City Nursery Co., New Haven, Connecticut. 
ROSES—Choice Hardy Garden. 
DOSES FOR GARDENS are a specialty at the nursery, our sales amounting to many thousands 
annually. The plants are strong, field-grown bushes, large enough to make a sturdy growth and 
produce a profusion of bloom right away. This grade of plants is very popular with our customers. 
Out roses should not be confounded with the department store article often offered. Our roses 
are all selected strong field-grown dormant plants \dug fresh from the open ground and securely 
packed for each order. 
The love of roses is universal, and fortunate it is that the most beautiful ones live out 
of doors and thrive in ordinary gardens. Be liberal with the fertilizer in preparing 
your rose gardens; they will return many fold in the way of luxuriance and profusion 
of blooms. 
Garden Hybrid Roses. 
Strictly Hardy Varieties. 
This class of roses blooms profusely in June and at intervals throughout the Summer and Fall. 
The popular hardy garden roses mostly belong to this class and are always satisfactory. 
Do not allow roses to suffer from want of plenty of fertilizer, as they are gross feeders, and only 
when they have plenty to feed on can they be expected to produce best results.
