"BestTwelve"Roses 



Garden Roses must have three qualities — hardiness, freedom of 



bloom, pleasing color. These twelve varieties have these qualities. 



They are two-year-old field grown plants, budded on English briar, 



and we believe them to be the best for general garden planting. They 



can be shipped any time before April 25.
