CURRIE'S HARDY GARDEN ROSES The hardiest and most satisfactory type of roses for this latitude. The varieties we offer are the best of their color, and of proved hardiness that will thrive in any ordinary garden soil. In pruning out cut all weak growth and cut back the strong canes to within nine inches of the ground for large flowers, but if quantity is desired leave the canes two or three feet high according to strength.

DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON—A low-spread- ing but vigorous grower with long, saffron-yel- low buds opening to very large light yellow flowers. Always popular and in great demand. GENERAL MacARTHUR—Erect, free-growing plants, with good foliage and an abundance of bright scarlet bloom. KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA—In color a soft pear^-white, tinted with just enough lemon in the center to relieve the white, remarkably fragrant; one of the most popular white Roses. KILLARNEY—One of the most popular pink garden Roses. The blooms are large, the petals of great substance.

BUTTERFLY—The finest Rose of the Ophelia type, bright light pink, shaded with gold. Very popular and always in demand.
