HOUSE OF 1FPETERS0N 



Do YOU know what the above four words 

 convey to the rose lover of to=day ? 



Can you imagine what they mean to the 

 proprietor of this business as he sees in them 

 the realization of fond hopes — the result of 

 sixteen years of earnest, untiring effort, 

 until to=day "PETERSON ROSES" are 

 spoken of as in a class by themselves? 



And they are. 



For ten years as an amateur I lived in an 

 atmosphere of roses, toiled among them, and 

 — yes — loved them. 



With me rose growing was a hobby — pas= 

 sion — call it what you will. 



144 Ruthve7i St., Roxbury, Mass. 

 11 Thank you many times for your charming 'Little 

 Book About Roses. ' It is a delight every moment from 

 cover to cover, and is exactly vjhat I need. I liave ad winter 

 been reading- hooks on the Rose and Rose culture, and white I 

 have received much and varied information, jiothing has so 

 completely suited jne — tehing 7jie so plainly "what I desire — as 

 your little hook." (MRS.) CAROLINE L. SWIFT. 



And to=day, after six years of business, 

 "THE HOUSE OF PETERSON" stands 

 supreme — unequaled — unapproached. 



Why? 



It's too long a story to tell you here, but 

 let me send you a copy of my " Hittle "Book 

 about Kogejs." 



It's different from most catalogues — very 

 different. 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 anyone, without obligation to purchase, 

 for ten cents in coin or stamps. 



Write for it now — to=day.
