GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 
English Sweet Briar, or Eglantine, loved for

Anne of Gerstein, very graceful; dark crimson.

AMERICAN GROWN ROSES 
The American grown rose, however, I find is con- 
sidered by many people to be by far the best. 
While its slender brown stems are not as at- 
tractive to the ignorant gardener as the thick, green 
of the imported, it is much more adapted to our 
soil and climatic conditions. It is cheaper, too, and 
splendid varieties, in 214-in. and 3-in. pots, can be 
bought as low as $5.00 or $6.00 a hundred from ex- 
pert growers, by the person willing to start a rose 
garden and then wait a year for really fine results. 
In lots of fifteen, however, many of these fine 
varieties of one-year-old plants can be bought for 
$1.00, with the growers’ guarantee that ‘‘they will 
bloom the first and each succeeding year, from early 
spring until severe frost.’’ The plants are small, of 
course, but who could ask for more at that price!
