GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 
‘A devoted cottager,’’ says Neltje Blanchan, “‘may 
easily have more beautiful roses than the indifferent 
millionaire.’’ 
The following lists comprise a few of the best of 
the different classes mentioned. I wish you suc- 
cess in your choice. 
ROSES 
A FEW OF THE BEST OF EACH KIND 
Teas. (Tenderest of roses, needing winter protec- 
tion. Noted for delicate shades and fra- 
grance.) 
Maman Cochet, free bloomer, hardiest of the teas; 
rose-pink. 
Marie Van Houtte, also a free bloomer and quite 
hardy ; canary yellow. 
Souvenir de Catherine Guillot, a rose of excel- 
lence; copper-carmine. 
White Maman Cochet, a strong grower, like the 
pink; white. 
Hybrid Teas. (Best for the garden, as they com- 
bine the best qualities of the teas and the hy- 
brid perpetuals,—color, hardiness, and steady 
bloom.) 
Caroline Testout, one of the most popular, 
slightly fragrant; rose pink. 
Etoile de France, continuous bloomer and fra- 
grant; crimson. as
