This special group must he delivered this fall. We cannot afford to store 
the jtlants over winter for these prices. 
Fall is the ideal time to plant Roses in a large part of the United States. 
The freshly dug plants go to you without any loss of vitality and have a 
chance to get properly settled before the ground freezes. 
Fall-planted Roses will start oil next spring like old, established plants and 
give a much better bloom display the first year than spring-planted Roses 
can possiblv do. 
At this time ol year our lists are complete, and we rarely have to disappoint 
a customer by saying a wanted variety is sold out, as frequently happens in 
spring. Order now and plant this fall.

George the Fourth h. China 
This famous old Rose was found in the first batch of seed¬ 
lings raised by Rivers about 1830. Rivers in his “Rose Amateurs 
Guide,” 1863, said he was especially attracted b\ the crimson- 
purple tinge of the foliage. Unfortunately there is no record 
of tne parentage, Rivers merely saying that it was an accident. 
The blooms are of good size, loosely double, of cupped form and 
the color vivid crimson shaded with dark purple has a strong 
appeal for lovers of old-time Roses. 
The plants make average Hybrid Perpetual growth and 
produce a splendid June crop of bloom.
