I’ve a message for you about roses —different, better 
roses than you’ve been buying. 
I want you to know about them—about this business 
which in four years has forged to the front—in point of 
quality is far=and=away in the lead. 
And there’s a reason for it. 
Ten years of preparation—of enthusiastic—yes, pas= 
sionate devotion to the outdoor culture of the ‘“‘Queen 
of Flowers’’ brought to me the *‘know how.’’ 
That’s why thousands of amateurs from [laine to Cali- 
fornia—from [lanitoba to Florida, inclusive, are experi= 
encing with my roses an astonishing degree of success. 
Some day—if not now—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.

Heating Boiler Talks, No. 2. 
By A. Master Steam-Fitter. 
The KEWANEE Boiler is the one for me 
every time—for houses, flats and public 
buildings. 
It is built like a locomotive boiler—of 
riveted steel plates and tested to twenty 
times the usual steam pressure. 
You can get more live steam out of a ton 
of coal with a KEWANEE Boiler than with 
any other boiler. You can save the price of 
the boiler in your reduced coal bill. 
KEWANEE B°ILERS 
are recommended by leading architects and heating 
contractors, because they last longer, cost less to oper 
ate and give better satisfaction than other boilers. 
Whether you areinterested in heating your home, 
yourstore your church, an office building, apartment 
building or a school house, you ought to read the 
little book entitled ‘‘KEWANEB Heating Methods.” 
It tells why KEWANEE Boilers are recommended 
by architects and steam-fitters alike. Write for it 
today. It is free to you, though it is worth $10 to 
any intending boiler buyer.

Hook About 
It’s not written by professional Catalogue makers, 
nor illustrated with imaginative pictures in colors, but 
every word, barring quotations, is written by myseli— 
from my own experience--and is truthfully and beauti=- 
illustrated in half=tone from actual photo= 
graphs. 
It tells you in detail, how, from the time you take up 
the spade until the flowers are gathered, to achieve the 
fullest success. 
It tells the truth—faults and all— about the best roses 
for outdoor cultivation to-day. 
The quality ofits paper, printing, and illustrations 
reflects the quality of my business and is intended to 
appeal to intelligent, thinking people who can sift the 
gold from the dross. 
Are You Such?

“Buyers of plants for the flower garden have always suffered from the common- 
place monotony of all catalogs from nurserymen and the like. No one has been able 
to break away from the conventional style until George H. Peterson of Fair Lawn, 
N. J., issued this ‘ Little Book About Roses.’ But this seems to make the interests 
of the plant buyer and seller mutual and is written with an originality anda literary 
touch that has all the charm of the unexpected.’’—Framingham (Mass.) Tribune.
