Pleasant Valley Nurseries—Roses 23 looses In spite of all the flowers which from time to time have become popular and have had their day as "fads," the Rose, the "Queen of Flowers," still holds her scepter and compels all others to acknowledge her queenly right and beauty. The Roses I offer below are, without doubt, the best of their respective classes, and are all hardy, field- grown stock, such as will grow under almost any condition and will increase in glory and beauty from year to year.

The blooms are large for a Rose of this class, very double, sweetly scented and of a beautiful shell-pink; it is also entirely hardy. 50 cts. each, $4 per doz. CRIMSON RAMBLER.
