SUMMER GARDEN COLLECTION of ROSES. 
In this unique offer we group sixteen summer-blooming Roses of established 
merit, and send them, free by matl, for 
$1.00. As they are growing in pots 
they can be sent at any time, and 
may be kept in a sunny window, in 
pots, until time to plant out in the gar¬ 
den. Our pamphlet, "Garden Culture 
of the Rose," will be sent free to those 
applying for it. This tells how to treat 
the plants when received and how to 
care for them thereafter. We give the 
names of the varieties, but should stock 
of any sort named become exhausted, 
we reserve the right to send another of 
similar character and equally desirable 
in place of it, without further notice. 
The varieties are all of the "Monthly" 
class. 
The 16 Roses, free by mail, for 
$1.00. If by express (buyer to pay 
charges), we can send them with all the soil on the roots, a great 
advantage. 1st size plants by express, the full collection for $6.00.

Examine the list carefully; it contains the

of necessity contain many inferior sorts.
