ROSES. We naturally place Roses first on our list of plants. A comparison of the following list with our list of former years will show that we are offering many new varieties, and also that we have dropped many of the old ones. This we expect to continue to do, thus keeping- our list up to the very best standard for this Climate.

This we expect to continue to do, thus keeping- our list up to the very best standard for this Climate. Of the new varieties offered, we have tested a number, and can heartily recommend them. Some we have not tested, and their descriptions are, of course, borrowed. There is such a desire and ambition among most of our customers to get the newest and best, that they do not care to wait for us to try a new kind, but are willing to make the experiment themselves. Occasionally such people will be disappointed, but they must remember that not every variety that will succeed well in Ohio, New Jersey or France is suitable to this climate. The prices given are for healthy, vigorous young plants, 5 to 10 inches tall, taken from 2^-inch pots. We can furnish large 2-year-old plants of many varieties, grown in the open ground all last year. These should not be ordered later than March i to 15. The best time to plant the young pot Roses is from Febru- ary 1 to April 1. After this date they will not do so well, nor can we always give so good a selection. Roses require a rich SOil and plenty Of water. They succeed best on stiff soil—black-waxy, clayey, or black sand, but they will grow and bloom well in any soil if well manured and watered. A comparison Of Our Catalogue With Other Catalogues of this year will show that we do not offer the various Ramblers and Wichuraianas which have such prominent places in northern catalogues. We do not offer these Roses, because they will be disappointing
