Are You Buying a Product 



/ 



or a By-product? 



PERHAPS you know the difference as applied to greenhouse plants. You know 

 there are always a few left-overs that are the by-products. You know that 

 when a firm grafts 700,000 Roses to sell, and has established a reputation for 

 quality in the plants sent, out, these plants are not the culls from someone's 

 planting. €LThat is why we want to talk Roses with you. We have the 

 best list we have ever offered. 



Kiliarney Brilliant and Hadley are the new Roses we are offering. 



Mrs. Russell, Mrs. Shawyer and Milady of last season's introduction.

 Alpine have leased 2,500 square feet of 

 space at the new Boston Cooperative

 pood business for Valentine's day, their 

 sales going well %head of a year ago.

 trade. The counter trade is not yet 

 heavy, recent severe weather having 

 temporarily checked it..
