86 Seed Catalogue and Garden Guide We consider this not only the most popular hut also the most satisfactory of all flowers and therefore we make roses a leading specialty and are now devoting more space in our green- houses and more land in our fields to roses than ever before as the trade has each year far ex- ceeded our stock. As we do not grow cut flowers and our rose growing is exclusively for the production of young plants we are enabled to use the best and most healthy wood in our prop- agations and not stems that have been exhausted by the production of flowers. â Our soil here is well adapted for rose culture and we are sure that customers will find our plants specially strong, healthy and vigorous. The varieties we list are the choicest selections out of several bundred varieties. We omit all inferior sorts and such sorts as experience has proved to be not generally satisfactory. Every variety listed has our most hearty recommendation. Eoses are sent by mail or express prepaid in perfect condition to the most distant parts of the United States and also to some foreign countries. Directions for Rose Culture sent with every package.

Color soft, creamy fawn, overlaid with most delicate shade of pink. As rose expands it discloses a beart of most exquisite blending of cream and glowing pink imaginable. The shape of the bud is full and pointed, while the rose as it expands seems to grow more and more beautiful, the tinting growing more pronoimced as it approaches the center, while the petals curl and expand in a bewildering manner. Its fragrance is delicious (that is the only word which will do). A vigorous, sturdy grower and free bloomer. Each 15c.
