Improving Every Day 



We have told you that Mrs* Henry WInnett is the best red rose that has ever 

 been offered to the trade and every week that sroes by strenjrthens that opinion 

 we hold of this new rose. If there is a weakness, it has never been shown. It 

 outgrows and outblooms anything in the list. The color is excellent. The keep- 

 ing quality is there. It is a rose to be proud of. It is the red rose that you 

 will eventually grow. Come to Cromwell and see. The rose itself will convince 

 you.

 P. W. Popp, Joseph Eobinson, H. Gaut,
