 Versatile? And iu the forefront surely 

 is your great and only George C. who 

 said more about the New York Show 

 and said It better in a few lines in 

 your paper last week than all the oth-

IIOUTICULTI'RE, Koston, Mass. 



Dear Sir: E^ome time ago we ordered 

 a f-opy of Thomas' Book on Roses. We 

 promised to send j'ou postage as soon 

 as we learned the amount. The book 

 was 80 j;ood that we forgot all about 

 postage until today. Please forgive our 

 lapse of memory. 



We loaned it to a friend and he likes 

 it so well we're afraid that we will 

 have to buy another. 



Respectfully, 



New York. A. R. 



Every rose grower should possenii a 

 copy of this book.
