 that next week's convention at Marble-

 modification of the agreement in the 

 body of the letter.

 town, Mme. Ravery, Mme. Car. Testout, Kaiserin

The Dog Briar is the very best stock for out- 

 of-door roses. They outlive any other stock,

 true. Roses on this stock are far superior to 

 those grown on own roots— ManettI, Rugosa, 

 Multiflora, Sweet Briar.
