ROSES 
This season we offer an unusually large list of the best American and European Novelties. 
We are continually testing new productions and offering those with decided merit. 
Our soil and climate are ideal for growing rose plants. Those offered are two years old 
and have been grown entirely in the open ground. They have all bloomed the past season, and 
with any reasonable care can hardly fail to bloom again the first season after planting. 
For more detailed descriptions of all except the “Latest Novelties” see the rose section of 
our Catalog No. 2, which will be sent on request to any customer.
