C. Py/ pias ARE OF Roses. INTER PROTECTION OF ROSES. The Hybrid Per- petual Moss and Climbing Roses, being most hardy, require but little protection. All classes of Roses are now furnished so cheaply, that most people think it pays better to get new plants every year than to take much trouble in trying to keep tender sorts over, especially as it is found that fresh Young Plants frequently give more flowers and bet- - ter satisfaction than old ones wintered over. FALL TREATMENT.—In the Fall the Rose beds should have a good dressing of stable manure or any fertilizing material that is convenient; the Winter rains will carry the strength down to the roots, . »* remaining wzzfter makes a nice mulch, which in many places is ‘dlr..-protection tha,;. ~ecessary. WHERE THE WinwEeS ARE NOT VERY SEVERE ten- der Roses may be nicely covered witi} clean rye straw, forest leaves, or evergreen branches, but care must be taken nfo put it on too thick; the covering should permit considerable circulation of#r,and should not retainwater; and nothing should be used that willfermenr, heat or rot. DO NOT COVER TOO SOON.—Whatever covering 18... ** it should not be put on till late in the season, when the plants are well ma- tured and severe weather close at hand; moderate freezing is not injurious. CELLAR.—When Roses cannot be protected in the open ground can sometimes be kept nicely in the cellar. Take up as late in the season as safe, that is just before ter actually begins, cut back the tops within six inches of the ground, and pack the roots in a box of 'E. mellow soil, we// firmed down; place the box near a window in a light airy cellar, or some similar ‘Bion, water occasionally during the Winter, but only when absolutely necessary to prevent shriveling. THE BEST WAY.—In places where the Winters are not more severe than at New York, many *ties of the Ever-Blooming Roses are nearly hardy, and we think the best way to treat them is to leave open ground, giving a nice light covering of forest leaves, clean straw, or evergreen boughs. Expe- ce shows that the loss will be as light in this as in any other way, and it is much the least trouble. WHEN TO UNCOVER.—Do not uncover in the Spring till frost has left the ground and thereis a mmpect of reasonably settled weather. When uncovered the plants should be carefully pruned, taking to remove all dead wood, and the beds should be nicely dug over and raked. OSES IN POTS.—The Ever-Blooming Hybrid Tea and Polyantha Roses are the best for house culture, in pots. Our ordinary size Roses require three to four-inch pots; larger Roses, five to six-inch pots, Earth for potting should be mellow and rich, not such as will bake and be- come hard, nor yet too light. If manure is used, it should be old and thoroughly composted; fresh manure is injurious. When first potted, water the plants thoroughly, and if the sun isstrong, le lightly for a few days, then give full light and air. The plants should not be allowed to wither for wt of water, but too much water is worse than not enough. When Roses drop their leaves after long ed, it is generally owing to change of temperature, and other conditions, but it may result from too @2 a pot, or toomuch water. The best remedy is perfect rest; keep quite dry until signs of new growth ear, then water very sparingly. The conditions most favorable for growing Roses in pots are good rich plenty of sunshine (the early morning sun isthe best when it can be had), reasonable and regular heat, moderate moisture; the temperature may range from 40° to 50° at night, and 60° to 80° in day-time, OUR NEW TOBACCO INSECTICIDE-SOAP Is Sure Death to all Insect Enemies. Price, 30 cents per can, by Mail post-paid, See page 78 for full description. APHIS OR GREEN FLY.—A strong tea, made of our new Tobacco Insecticide-Soap, is sure h. Wash or sprinkle the whole plant or dip in the tea as often as may be necessary. |THE ROSE SLUG.—Slugs frequently appear suddenly, and increase very rapidly. They must be ked instantly. Dust the plants thickly with powdered or air-slacked lime, plaster of Paris ashes, or h road dust, and repeat the same vigorously as often as may be necessary. If more convenient, the ts may be thoroughly sprinkled and washed with a strong suds made with our New Tobacco Insecticide- p and salt, or with brine alone. Slugs seldom appear more than once in a season, and can easily be royed if taken promptly. RED SPIDER is a very minute insect, first appearing on the under side of the leaves, and though ult to see, its effects are quickly noticeable by the browned or deadened appearance of the leaves. It ishes best in a hot, dry atmosphere, either in-doors or out; moisture is its greatest enemy. Sprinkle ash your plants frequently with Tobacco Insecticide-Soap, taking care to wash the under side of the es thoroughly, and you will not be troubled with Red Spider. In bad attacks it may be necessary to ge the leaves daily with warm water until the pest is thoroughly destroyed. THE THRIP is very destructive to Roses in some sections of the West. The best remedy is a thor- oe with a strong suds of Tobacco Insecticide-Soap, taking care to wet thoroughly the under side ne leaves, OUR HOLLAND BULB CATALOCUE FOR FALL OF 1[889.

HOW TO GROW ROSES IN OPEN GROUND. NOTE.—We have published these brief hints before, but as they are needed every season, they are continued. We try to give all the information in our power to enable our friends and customers to have the best possible success with all the plants they buy of us. When convenient, Roses should always be planted in open ground; they can be grown nicely in pots, when desired, but are more easily managed and give better satisfaction planted in the open ground, and fresh new ground is always preferable to old worn-out beds. ~ NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE. 7 A Small Bed of our Beautiful Ever-Blooming Roses, costing only two or three do.lars, will enliven your grounds and furnish a nice supply of buds during the whole growing season. Our Beautiful Ever-Blooming Roses are known all over the United States as the finest Roses grown; they combine the most perfect and lovely form of buds and flowers, with delicious fragrance, and all the charming and exquisite shades of color that Roses ever assume. They Do Well Everywhere.—Our Ever-Blooming Roses thrive and bloom nicely in ail parts of the United States and Canada, where garden vegetables will grow. They arenot entirely hardy, but many varieties, when well established, will bear the Winters if not more severe than at New York. Hardiness, however, is not important, as these Roses are so desirable and yet so cheap that, if necessary, you can well afford to get them fresh every Spring. They Begin to Bloom at Once.—Our Ever-Blooming Roses begin to bloom almost as soon as planted, and continue to produce a constant succession of lovely buds and flowers through all the Summer and Autumn months, until the plants are frozen up or covered with snow. Plant in Bedg.—Roses generally appear to best advantage when planted in beds or masses by themselves. They should not be mixed with other flowers when it can be avoided. The bed should be in a sunny place, free from shade and exposed to full light and air. Hybrid Perpetual and Moss Roses are very beautiful and are considered entirely hardy in ordinary situations; they need no protection in Winter and withstand hardship and neglect well; they bloom freely in the Summer and occasionally during the Autumn months. The flowers are mostly of large size, very double and fragrant, and of rich, bright colors, including all shades of red, white and pink, but no yellow. Climbing Roses.— Most varieties of Climbing Roses are entirely hardy. They need no protection in Winter, but require support, and should be planted near a porch or trellis, or some object designed to be covered from sight; they bloom very profusely early in the season and remain in bloom a long time. Preparation of the Ground.—Roses will do well in any ordinary fertile ground, but are muck improved in fragrance and beauty by rich soil, liberal manuring and good cultivation. The ground should be well spaded and pulverized to the depth of a foot or more, and enriched by digging in a good coat of stable manure or any fertilizing material that may be convenient. How to Plant.—When the ground is thoroughly prepared—fine and in nice condition—wet the roots of the Roses so that the earth will adhere to them—make holes of suitable size, put in the plant slightly deeper than it was before, spread the roots out evenly in their natural position, and cover them with fine moist earth, taking care to draw it closely around the stem, and pack firmly down with the hand, 4t is very important that the earth be tightly firmed down on the roots. When to Water.—lIf the ground is dry when planted, water thoroughly after planting, so as fo soak the earth down below the roots, and if hot or windy, it may be well to shade for a few days. After this not much water is required unless the weather is unusually dry. Plants will not thrive if kept too wet, and planting should never be done when the ground is muddy or soggy. Cultivation.—The ground should not be allowed to bake or become hard, but should be frequently stirred with hoe and rake, so as to keep it light and mellow, as well as free from weeds and grass. If the ground is dry, a thorough hoeing or stirring of the soil is much better than watering, and can be done as often as necessary. In very dry times the ground should be hoed deeply and thoroughly every day. Cut off the faded Roses, or, what is better, cut off the blooms before they begin to fade; the quicker the flowers are cut off after they are fully open, the more flowers the plant will produce. If the flowers are left on, the strength of the plant goes to produce seeds; the removal of the flower encourages new growth and fresh bloom. Pruning.—The Ever-Blooming Roses do not require pruning in the Summer, except what may be necessary to keep them in reasonable shape and limit, and this can be done at any convenient time. In the Spring it is best to cut back one-half or two-thirds of the last season’s growth, and cut off all dead shoots, down to the live wood. The Iver-Blooming Roses may be Winter-killed quite to the ground, but, if the roots are not injured, they will put forth new growth and bloom as well as before. _ Pruning Hybrid Perpetual and Moss Roses.—These bloom best on strong new wood, and should be cut back severely (say one-half of last season’s growth) in the Spring before growth has com- menced. As these Roses are hardy, and remain from year to year, they will gradually attain considerable size, and the pruning should be done in a way to keep the plant well balanced and in good shape. Lib- set ait ies and thorough cultivation add very much to the beauty and profusion of bloom of this class of Roses. Climbing Roses bloom on the old or last season's wood, and therefore should not be cut back unless necessary to keep the plant within the limits desired, but all dead wood should be removed in the Spring before growth begins. When to Plant.—Always choose the most favorable time for planting in your own locality, and order at that time. Roses can be planted as soon as convenient after the earlier garden vegetables, and we can send the plants with entire safety whenever they are desired.’ Northern States.—In the Northern and Middle States the Spring and early Summer months are the best time for all kinds of planting in open ground. As our Roses are grown in a warm temperature, it is best not to plant out until danger of severe freezing is past, and the ground is in a mellow and friable condition. Many people prefer to get their Roses early, before the rush commences, and grow in pots or boxes in-doors, till the season is sufficiently advanced for setting them out, and if you know how to care for them, and can keep them healthy, this is an excellent plan. Southern and Pacific States.—Our friends in the Southern and Pacific States will choose the most favorable time for planting in their respective'sections ; we cannot advise as to when this is, as the planting season in these localities is different from ours. We send Roses safely whenever they are desired. Fall Planting in Open Ground is only recommended for those of the Southern and Pacific States where the Fall and Winter months are the most favorable time for all kinds of out-door planting. > S THE DINGEE & CONARD CO.’s a RO os cS Proper Distance for Planting.—When the Ever-Blooming R i and the best effect for the present season is desired, they may be hose ey A PERE cache cH but 1f intended to remain over year, they should have a little more room. ” Hybrid Perpetual and Moss Roses require more room than the Ever-Blooming sorts, and may be set from 1% to 2 feet apart each way. For HEDGES, plant 1 foot apart in a single line and cut the plants back to a regular height every Spring. 4 ' SEW HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSE—MAD. FANNY DE jp FOREST. PRICE, 25 CENTS.

Large orders should of course be sent by Express as hereto- fore when convenient, but all orders suitable to go by mail, can now be forwarded in that manner, post- paid to all Post-offices in the Dominion as safely and as easily as to points in the U.S. We therefore re- spectfully solicit your orders, which will always have our best attention, and be sent by Mail or Express as you may direct. Remittances can be made safely as directed on page II. Roses for Foreign Countries.—WE CANNOT SEND ROSES BY MAILTO ANY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, except those with which the United States has a Parcel Post Exchange, and we have found it so difficult and unsatisfactory to forward SMALL PACKAGES by either Ocean Express or Steamship Lines, that we do not invite orders from foreign countries, unless from persons who have agents or friends on this side who will receive and forward the plants to them.

All Roses and plants sent out by us to points within the United States and Canada, whether by mail or express, are guaranteed to reach the purchaser in good growing condition. In case of accident, by which they are injured or spoiled in any way before delivery, we request information to be forwarded immediately, so that they may be replaced at once. Having arrived in good order, our re- sponsibility ceases. Size and Quality of Plants. The Roses we send are fine, strong, healthy plants—grown in pots. Many of the Ever-Blooming varieties are ready to bud when sent out, and will quickly come into full bloom. Where the season is sufficiently advanced they are suitable for planting at once in open ground, or they can be grown nicely in the house, in pots or boxes. OUR ROSES ALL POT GROWN. AU our Roses are Pot Grown, und specially prepared for safe transportatian and immediate bloom. They are grown in pots in ordinary fertile soil, without manure or stimulants of any kind; our design being to produce strong, healthy, well-matured plants, well furnished with working roots. Instead of forcing them into bloom here, we aim to keep them from blooming as much as may be, and to get them ready and in the best possible condition to grow and bloom quickly after planting out. Our Roses are not tired and needing rest, or petted and forced so that they demand unusurlly nice treatment, but are sent out strong and hungry, ready for work, inured to hardship, and fully prepared to battle for life, and this 1s one great secret of their success YOU CANNOT EASILY KILL THEM OR KEEP THEM FROM BLOOMING. OUR ROSES ARE ALL ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. A// our Roses are grown from cuttings, and are therefore all on their own Roots. If the plants incline to sprout from the root, they should be encouraged to do so, as young, vigorous shoots frequently produce the finest flowers. They cannot throw up wild shoots, because root and top are the same ; and, as long as any part of the plant remains it will produce the same beautiful flower. NO BUDDED OR GRAFTED ROSES SENT OUT. We do not send out any budded or grafted Roses, for, notwithstanding all thatis said in their favor by those who are interested in their sale, it ts well known that budded and grafted Roses generally prove an utter failure and are entirely unreliable for general planting. ALL OUR ROSES ARE ON THEIR OWN ROOTS. Express Orders. For Express orders we select the largest and best plants on hand at the time, and though we do not promise larger Roses by Express than we send by Mail (unless Two-year Roses are ordered, see page 46), we can generally send larger shrubs and other plants, and sometimes larger Roses. Our system of packing is so complete that we can ship with perfect safety during the coldest or hottest weather, and guarantee the plants to arrive in good condition. We Ship by Express when Directed, the purchaser paying the Express charges. Many persons prefer to have their goods sent by Express, the plants have more room in the boxes and look larger and better when cpened. Besides this, a portion of the earth can be left on the roots, which some consider a great advantage. Large orders should always be sent by Express when plants are wanted in best con- dition and the expense is not an objection; but we can send smallorders of ordinary size Roses and plants, long or short distances, just as safely and satisfactorily by Mail, and save the purchaser the Express charges. Difference in Size of Varieties. Do not expect all varieties to be of the same size; some are stronger growers than others, and make larger plants at the same age and under exactly the same condi- tions, and some of the smallest and weakest growers produce the most beautiful flowers; this is according to Nature, and can’t be helped. Better than we Promise. ‘Though our prices are very low for the quality of the plants*we offer, we always try to do a little better than we promise, and give generous value and faithful service to all. Presented Plants are marked P on back of label, and are frequently very choice sorts. Be sure to take good care of them; they sometimes give better satisfaction than those ordered. Purchaser’s Choice of Varieties. We endeavor to grow all varieties we offer in sufficient quantity to furnish exactly what is ordered. We always have an enormous stock to select from, and try to fill all orders exactly as given. Which are the best Varieties. We cannot give a list of the best varieties, because those that are best for one place may not be so for another; but we will cheerfully select for purchasers who direct us to do so; and if we are told the class of Roses wanted and the colors preferred, we can always insure satisfactory results, both in the varieties and the quality of plants. Why our Business is so Large. The wonderful vitality and early-blooming power of the Roses grown by our special methods, the unrivaled collection of varieties to choose from, and the prompt, liberal and careful manner in which we fill all orders, have brought us an immense trade. Orders pour in by every mail from all sections of the country, and are filled and forwarded with the regularity of clock-work. Correction of Errors. We take all possible care to avoid errors, and, when any occur, request information to be forwarded immediately, so that they can be corrected at once; we cannot afford, and do not mean to have a single customer dissatisfied, tf prompt and careful attention to his wants will prevent tt. Pleasant Entertainment. We aim to make it as safe and pleasant, and in every way as satisfac- tory, to order Roses by Mail, as it would be to purchase them of us if you were here in person. Mailing Boxes. We pack in strong wooden boxes, with live moss filling. Though this is the most expensive way, itisthe best, and therefore we use no other. Weight of Mail Packages. The weight of packages that can be sent by Mail is limited to four pounds, and though this will admit quite a number of fine Roses, larger orders are frequently wanted. When desired, large orders can be made up in small packages and sent by Mail; but it is generally best, unless to very remote points, to direct large orders sent by Express. When making up an order, don’t forget the Premium Roses, New Roses of ’89, and Diamond List Roses. See all our Special Offers, and remember our VERY LIBERAL CLUB TERMS. Perhaps a few Neighbors would like to send with you, and, by forwarding their orders with vour own, you do them a kindness and secure the club reward. NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE.

The Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the most valuable of all Roses. They are fully as beautiful as the Ever-Bloomers, but entirely different, and should be included in every collection. They are hardy, vigorous growers, particularly valuable for planting in the Middle and Northern States, because not easily injured by the Winter. They are valuable also for the South, where they suc- ceed almost equally well. Immense Flowers.—Many of the Hybrid Perpetual Flowers are of immense size, frequently from five to six inches in diameter; they are exceedingly fragrant and of the most gorgeous and dazzling colors except yellow. Though called ‘‘ PERPETUAL,” they are not such early and constant bloomers as the Ever- Blooming Roses. Some varieties do not bloom the first year, but grow strong and get ready for the next. When once established, however, they bloom freely at usual time early in the season, and many varieties continue to bloom at short intervals during the Summer and Autumn months. Like all valuable flowers they are much improved in size and beauty by rich ground and good cultivation. 4 When you plant Hybrid Perpetuals you may be sure of having Roses every year with- out further trouble. ‘They require but little attention and bloom regularly, and though they are AMONG THE HARDIEST OF ALL ROSES and may be expected to bear any reasonable degree of cold without injury, a light covering of leaves, straw or evergreen branches put on before Winter begins is always an advantage in exposed situations. d Plant in open Ground. The Hybrid Perpetuals should always be planted in Open ground; they are not suitable for house culture—the Ever-Bloomers, Hybrid Teas and Fairy Roses are best for this purpose. Hybrid Perpetuals do very nicely set with Shrubbery in Borders, orin Masses or Beds on the Lawn. They are used very extensively by the most intelligent planters. A circular bed 31% feet in diameter holds 27 Roses ; price $3. A 4% -foot bed, 38 Roses; price $4. A514-foot bed, 55 Roses; price $5.50. An 8-foot bed, '75 Roses; price $7.50.

Their large size, lovely form and charm- ing colors, place them among the most beautiful flowers. Lily bulbs should be planted quite deep, say not less than six to eight inches. Unlike most other flowers, they do not need strong ground or manure, but thrive best in a partially shaded situation, sheltered by shrubbery and other plants. They are entirely hardy, and need no protection in Winter, though in exposed situations it is advisable to give aslight covering of leaves or coarse litter when convenient. Lilies increase in size and beauty with age, and should be left undisturbed from year to year. When the best effect is desired, we recommend plant- ing one or two dozen of a kind, rather than one or two each of several kinds; they are very de- sirable, and always give satisfac- tion. They can be pianted Spring or Fall, as preferred. A GROUP OF AURATUM LILIES. AU ATUM LILY. The magnificent golden-banded Lily of Ja- pan, considered the Queen of Lilies.

NOTE.—When convenient we advise planting Chrysanthemums near a wall, fence or screen of shrub- bery, so that they will be somewhat sheltered from the severe frostsand cold winds of Autumn, And when it is desired to prolong the season of bloom it is a good plan to lift the plants with plenty of earth on the roots just before freezing weather and plant in pots or boxes, and take to the conservatory, greenhouse or inclosed porch, where they will bloom splendidly for several weeks, sometimes till after the holidays, making a grand and very striking display of brilliant bloom ata time when there are few other flowers. Chrysan- themums are usually set with other plants, as most of their growth is made late in the season after other flowers have matured and been removed.

After careful comparative tests, we have madea special mixture of the best natural grasses for quickly and effectively making new lawns and renovating old ones. This mixture we have named the COLUMBIA LAWN GRASS, and we recommend it as unsurpassed for quickiy making a handsome and fine turfy lawn, which will withstand our hot and dry Summers, presenting at all times a healthy and rich green. The value of this New Mixture makes it particularly desirable for sowing on lawns that have grownethin and bare in places, and needing lifeandtone. To produce the best results seed should be sown one quart to 300 square feet (15 by 20 feet), or five bushels to the acre. PRICE BY MAIL POST-PAID.— One quart, 25 cts.; four quarts, 85 cts. We offer this seed in bulk by Express at $1.25 per peck ; one-half bushel, $2; $4 per bushel. Full Printed Directions for the Preparation and Care of Lawns will be sent free with each order of Lawn Grass. Our New Tobacco Insecticide Soap. SURE DEATH TO ALL INSECTS. We strongly recommend OUR NEW TOBACCO INSECTICIDE SOAP as the best and most reliable insect extermi- nator. Itis absolutely safe to handle and will not injure the softest growth of plants. In fact, it is a powerful fer- tilizer, leaves that have become wilted from the attacks of insects coming out fresh and luxuriant. Leaf tobacco in its natural state is difficult to obtain in small quantities, while tobacco stems also used for the pur- pose contain but little of the active principle—nicotine. Our flower-loving friends will then readily see the great utility and merit of Our New Preparation, Tobacco Insecticide Soap, or Sulpho-Tobacco Soap. Its chief ingredient is the, gum _ of the richest Virginia and Kentucky leaf tobacco. It is used by dissolving in hot or cold water, at the rate of one ounce to two quarts of water. With this liquid the plants should be frequently sponged, sprinkled or syringed. This new soap is not only Sure Death to Red Spider, Aphis or Green-fly, Scale Mealy Bug, etc., but is equally valuable for Garden Plants, Shrubs, Fruit Trees and Animals in- fested with vermin. Every Cultivator of Plants should always have at least one package of this Soap on hand.* Price per can, by Mal, post-paid, 30 cts. ; four cans for $t.

We have spared neither care, pains nor ex- pense to have our Vegetable Seed the wery best for family use. None can be better, few so good. In the careful purchase of garden seeds, a good lesson is taught us by the skillful market gardener, who makes out the seed order and sendsit in to be filled in ample time, without hurry, frequently offering higher prices ii seeds of aspecial saving or extra attention be given the order ; none can be too good, the best are wanted regardless of expense. If such care is necessary to enable the practical cultivator of acres to grow good crops, why is it not additionally necessary to the planter of the family garden, upon which the table and season’s work depends, to get none but the best SEEDS direct from headquarters. Such main crops as Peas, Beans, Cabbages, Tomatoes, Onions, etc., often come half crops and sometimes total failures, through the planting of seeds purchased at random.’ This need not happen, as we can send seeds that are as absolutely reliable as it is possible to have SHEDS. We might go through the entire list of Garden Vegetables, comparing the satisfaction and comfort of planting the surest tested seeds, and the disappointment lable to trusting an important matter to chance, but we have said enough to show our great earnestness to supply nothing but seed of the highest grade and reliability.

We therefore guarantee every plant we send out as being the TRUE MAGNOLIA-SCENTED MOON-FLOWER, sure to bloom the first season. The plant is a remarkably strong and rapid grower ; a single vine has been known to cover twenty-five square fect in a very shorttime. Itisa won- derfully profuse bloomer. Oxe thousand Buds and Flowers were counted at one time ona single vine near Philadel- phiathe past season. It will growin any ordinary situation. The flowers are quite large, being four to six inches in diameter, and of a beautiful silvery or moon-like whiteness ; they are delightfully perfumed with a rich magnolia odor, and are borne in greatest profusion in the evening and oncloudy days. A Moon-Flower Vine, in full bloom on a moon- light evening in Summer is indeed an object of lovely beauty; the illustration gives a good idea of the general effect, but it must be seen to be fully appreciated.
