ROSES.
We consider them not only the most popular but also the most satisfactory of all flowers. We do not grow cut flowers and our rose growing is exclusively for the production of plants. Our soil here is well adapted to rose culture and we are sure that customers wlll find our plants specially strong, healthy and vigorous. Every variety listed has our most hearty recommendation. Roses are sent by mail or express prepaid in perfect coudition to the most distant parts of the United States and also to some foreign countries. Directions for Rose Culture sent with every package if requested. We furnish one dozen of any variety at the price of ten.
