OTHING that we can say will add to the popularity of the Rose, the most prized of all flowers. Those whose taste tends toward the beauties of nature cannot help classing the Rose at the head of ornamentals. Nearly all make an effort to have an abundance of them in season, yet many fail simply because they plant inferior hot-house grown bushes, which are sold so cheap throughout the country that thousands buy them. Our Roses cost more than such stock, yet where they have been given a thorough test they have yielded far more for the money. Our Bushes are readj' to set in open air as soon as received, being hardy, vigorous, two-year-old stock. All having bloomed once before sending out. Results largely depend on the care given them when transplanted, if a little extra care is taken it will bring large interest. Different varieties have different habits of growth, the same as other plants. When stock is received this must be taken into consideration. Some are tall and slender, others grow low and bushy, while some make a scraggling and irregular growth. Belo V we give an assortment of the best onlv, having been tested in our grounds for years. The selection is sufficient for those wishing an extensive assortment, and although there are hundreds of varieties, onlj' a professional could distinguish any difference between those we list and other named sorts offered in the many catalogues of nurserymen and seedsmen..
