of enthusiastic study, 
experiment — yes— passionate devotion to the outdoor 
culture of the Rose before a plant was offered for sale! 
An enthusiasm which year after year found me 
daily, even in March, at sunrise in my gardens nearly 
three miles away from my city home, before duties at 
my desk called me back. 
“@ Little Book About Roses” 
tells you the whole story. 
It’s as different from—better than—other rose catalogues as my roses 
are different, better than other roses, and this year (its fourth) it is more beautiful and helpful 
than ever.

CATALOGVE 
Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas. 
“After reading the big padded catalogues in which 
the most common things, even trash, are described in the 
superlative, it is a tonic to take up a little book like yours 
that dares to tell the truth. 
(Prof.) W. A. HARSHBARGER. 
Tuft’s College, Mass. 
“Your modest catalogue, just received, is worth some 
whole volumes on account of its concise and complete 
directions on the culture of the rese, and I own a good many 
works on floriculture.”” 
G. W. BULLARD. 
Easton, Md., 
“T admire your frankness, and if there were more such 
catalogu-s florizulture would be brought to a higher plane.” 
Cc. D. LEE. 
STOCK 
Fidelity Trust Co., Kansas City, Mo., April rr, 1907. 
“The roses are here and set out, and they are entirely satisfactory 
in every way. I never saw stronger, healthier bushes than yours, 
and I have seen some rose bushes.” F. E. BATES. 
In response to request to use the above, Mr. Bates further writes 
“You cannot quote me too strongly. I have better success with 
your roses and peonies than with any I have ever had, and | have 
had many from many growers.” 
Picton, Ont., Canada, April 20, 1907. 
“The roses are the best I ever had consigned to me. They 
opened fresh and in best condition. I am more than well pleased, 
and so are all the officers of the Horticultural Society.’ T. BOG. 
Note.— Col. Bog has for many years been a director and officer 
of the Picton Horticultural Society and the Glenwood Cemetery Co. 
3435 N. Penn. St., Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 23, 1907. 
“The two shipments of roses received from you, judging from size 
and general appearance, were so superior to roses bought of other 
parties ata higher price that it makes ita real pleasure to commend 
your goods.”’ ROBERT W. FURNAS. 
Note.—The above refers to a considerable order, including 
many varreties, filled from niy 1908 stock.
