ROSES 
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 rea¬ 
sonable care can hardly fail to bloom again the first season after planting. 
For more detailed descriptions of the varieties in “General Collection’’ see the rose section of 
our Catalog No. 2, which will be sent on request to any customer.
