Are You Interested 

 in Roses ? I Am. 



For thirteen years I have lived in an atmos- 

 phere of roses, thought of them, toiled among 

 them and — yes— loved them. 



With me rose growing was a hobby — passion — 

 call it what you will. 



And to-day my enthusiasm still increases. 



Last year I launched this business — to-day it is 

 in the front rank. 



Why? 



Twelve years of untiring, earnest effort taught 

 me what roses to grow — how best to produce 

 them — how to get them to you in Florida or 

 Manitoba with every branch and bud full of 

 freshness and vitality. 



Did I do it? 



Washburn College, Topeka, Kan., Feb. n, 1905. 

 " After reading the big padded catalogues in which the 

 most common things, even trash, are described in the su- 

 perlative, it is a tonic to take up a little book like yours 

 that dares to tell the truth." (Prof.) W. A. Harshbarger. 



After a very busy shipping season, working 

 day and night — not a single complaint — over 

 forty absolutely unsolicited testimonials which 

 a disinterested horticulturist says are the finest 

 he ever saw. 



Some day, by sheer force of merit, my roses 

 will win a place in your garden and then — you 

 will regret that you did not plant them before. 



Why not try them the coming season ? 



Have you seen a copy of "3 Hittle "Boob 

 about Eoses"? 



It's different from most catalogues— very dif- 

 ferent. It appeals to intelligent, thinking people 

 — it tells the truth. 



Tufts College, Mass., Feb. 6, 1905. 



" Your modest catalogue, just received, is worth some 



whole volumes on account of its concise and complete 



directions on the culture of the rose, and I own a good 



many works on floriculture." • G. W. Bullard
