New England is one of the most favorable regions for growing Roses. Some of the finest Rose-gardens in 
America are to be found within a few miles of Boston. Modern Roses are very accommodating. If the ground 
is well prepared in advance and good plants are purchased, they will produce an abundance of beautiful 
flowers with ordinary care and protection against their enemies. 
Prices: Dormant Roses, 75c each; 3 for $2.20; 10 for $7.00, except where otherwise noted 
After May 10 we can supply all varieties, well established in pots, for 25c per plant more than for dormant Roses of 
the same variety. Find the price of a dormant plant of the Rose you want, add 25c to each, and you will have the correct 
price of the potted plant, regardless of the quantity purchased.

flowers belong to this class. The plants average 18 to 24 inches
