Exhitition ROSES 
Our Roses are field-grown plants, having been cultivated in fields during the past two years. 
In fall they are carefully dug, planted in 
pots, and stored in cold storehouses, where artificial heat is only used to exclude severe frost and are then moved into frames outdoors in 
early spring and gradually exposed to the weather. 
Under this treatment the plants develop in the most natural way, and are much supe- 
rior to stock which has been forced in a high temperature into unnatural and weakened growth, and to comparatively worthless Roses 
which are sold so cheaply in a dormant condition. 
All varieties listed are 75¢ each; $8.00 per doz.; $60.00 per 100, except as noted.
