ROSES IN ROGER WILLIAMS 

 PARK. 



Roger 'VV'illiams Park in Providence, 

 R. I., has many attractions in natural 

 beauty and historic associations, for 

 ■which its repute has extended far and 

 ■wide. Among its charms, perhaps not 

 so well known, are the roses, and we 



think our readers will agree that the 

 picture which occupies our cover page 

 this week fully justifies Providence 

 in feeling that her rose garden is some- 

 thing to be proud of. We are indebted 

 to the Providence Journal for their 

 kind permission to use the photograph. 

 Fred C. Green is superintendent of 

 the Providence parks. 



Medina, N. Y. — 'W'hite Bros, are 

 building four new houses, 25x250, in 

 which they will grow White and Pink 

 Killarney, Richmond, Sunburst and 

 Mock roses. The Gasport houses have 

 been torn down and moved to Medina. 

 White Bros, have been heavy shippers 

 of carnations and the quality always 

 best.
