Way' 



Last year when I told you that the sentiment 

 expressed in the quotation from Emerson: "If 

 a man can write a better book, preach a better 

 sermon or make a better mousetrap than his 

 neighbor, the world will make a beaten pathway 

 to his door," had been the incentive — the inspira- 

 tion on which this business had been built, I little 

 thought of how great a portion of "the world" was 

 really then coming my way and how many, after 

 the pathway was well worn, would literally knock 

 at my door in vain. 



Again the rose planting season is approaching 

 and so this personal appeal is made to you to start 

 now lest disappointment again be yours. 



PETERSON ROSES signify quality — assure 

 success. 



And why shouldn't they ? 



They're the result of ten years of enthusiastic 

 study and devotion to the outdoor culture of the 

 Rose, followed by seven years of helping others to 

 know, love and succeed with the " Queen of Flow- 

 ers" as I had succeeded. 



And in this, too, I have succeeded beyond all ex- 

 pectation as thousands of amateur growers have 

 gladly — warmly testified. 



To-day, as I write this, comes a gracious letter 

 from the editor of a leading garden monthly telling 

 me of how an author, unknown to me except as a 

 customer, in preparing a Rose article for them, 

 spoke enthusiastically of the splendid roses (and 

 results) yearly gotten of me. The editor further 

 says: "Altogether the tribute paid you was quite 

 exceptional." 



It costs too much to say all I would like to here 

 and so I want to send vou a copv of 



"3 Hittle IBoo'b about Boeeja." 



It's different from most catalogues — very differ- 

 ent. It appeals to intelligent, thinking people — 

 it tells the truth. 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's sent on request to intending purchasers — 

 to any one, without obligation to purchase, for ten 

 cents in coin or stamps. 



Write for it now — today.
