BUSH ROSES 25e each, $2.50 per doz., except where otherwise indicated. The rose is so generally known that little need be said regarding its cultivation. All that is needed being a good, deep rich soil, liberal manuring and careful cultivation. While there are thous- ands of varieties of roses grown, we have select- ed the following as being in our judgment the very best varieties known. All of our roses are field grown and range in height from 1 to 3 feet. American Beauty. This is a hardy rose of the very largest size, ever blooming, with a most delicious fragrance. It is a deep, brilliant, rosy carmine, shading toward the center to a rich carmine crimson. Black Prince. One of the very btst hardy red roses yet produced. It is unapproachable in its color, being a blackish crimson, darkest in the bud. As it opens smoky shades of crimson are brought out, giving it an extremely rich effect. Bride. A white rose of very large size. Its form is perfect and fragrance unexcelled. It is a vigorous grower and a free bloomer. Bridesmaid. This is a "sport" from Catherine Mermet, and while it possesses all the good characteristics of its parent, it surpasses it in color, being a deep, bright pink. Catherine Mermet. A rapid grower, profuse bloomer, long stems, well developed flower of pink color shading to flesh.
