The majority of these are plants which have either been grown at our Locust Farm Nurseries or plants which are grown for us under contract by some of the principal Rose experts in the most favored localities in the United States, England and Ireland. These plants are all field-grown, and, when in a dormant condition in the late fall and early winter months are potted up principally into five and six inch pots and are stored in cold greenhouses \\here only sufficient heat is used to prevent severe freezing. The plants treated in this manner recei\"e their natural period of rest and " break away" freely in spring so as to give the best possible returns to the planter the first season, not requiring nursing for one or two j-ears to bring them to a size to produce flowers of standard quality. It has been our aim in Roses, the same as in other classes of plants, to limit the number of varieties to such standard sorts of known merit that are most likely to give the best results under ordinary garden cultivation, rather than to offer long lists of varieties many of which necessarily are similar or inferior in qualit}-.
