Rosa Spinosissima 



WE have again succeeded in getting a stock of this 

 rare and exquisitely lovely hardy single white 

 Rose. With the exception of the marvelous 

 Cherokee Rose of the South, it is the most beautiful 

 single Rose in the world. The Plant is compact and 

 bushy, growing four to five feet high, and in June it is 

 covered with large yellowish-white flowers of indescrib- 

 able beauty. It should be planted in groups, and like 

 the Rosa Rvgosa, it can be used in the shrubbery. Com- 

 ing from Siberia, it is absolutely hardy. Limited stock. 

 Extra Strong Plants, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen 

 Good Plants, 30 cents each, $3.00 per dozen. 



We have the largest, finest and most comprehensive stock of Hardy Plants in 

 America, including three hundred varieties of the choicest Peonies, the largest 

 collection of Japanese Iris in the world, and an unsurpassed collection of named 

 Phloxes. Our illustrated catalogue, describing these and hundreds of other Hardy- 

 Plants, Trees, Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Shrubs will be sent on request. 



"A PLEA FOR HARDY PLANTS," by J. Wilkinson Elliott, contains much information 

 about Hardy Gardens, with plans for their arrangement. We have made arrangements 

 with the publishers of this book to furnish it to customers at a very low price. Particulars 

 on Request.

Fragrant Violets in Snowy Winter 



How you can grow them just as 

 easily in February as in May 



Think of growing fresh violets, pansies, etc., and all the flowers you love so well, right at 

 home, in mid-winter, when the ground is white-blanketed with snow! And vegetables, too — 

 lettuce, onions, etc., to eat and all kinds of plants to set out early in the open! 



You can grow all these things easily and inexpensively with one or more Sunlight Double 

 Glass Sash — the sash that brings Spring to your garden in the dead of winter. 



Sunlight Double Glass Sash 



The reason why " Sunlights " make summer gardening possible in February is this: Two 

 layers of glass form the top of the sash. These layers enclose an air space f in. thick, which 

 acts as a non-conductor, and retains in the bed heat stored there by the sun, shutting out all 

 the cold. Mats or shutters are never necessary. This does away with the covering and 

 •uncovering that ordinary single-glass sash require. 



A New Sun-Heated Greenhouse 



By applying our double-glass idea, we have perfected a greenhouse that re- 

 quires little or no artificial heating, even in zero weather. It is made 

 in sections ready to set up; is u by 12 feet in size; and is glazed 

 with Sunlight Double Glass Sash. These can be easily and quickly 

 removed and used on hot-beds and cold-frames in season. This 

 feature, coupled with the fact that no expensive heating is necessary, 

 makes the " Sunlight " greenhouse by far the most economical one 

 you can buy. 



Try Sunlight Double Glass Sash — see for yourself the pleasure 

 and profit they will bring you.
