 Canada have experienced.

 garden all Summer and Fall, send now for a

Bethlehem, Pa., Aug. 29, IQ12. 

 In the spring of 1911, and again this 

 year, I planted a lot of your roses, with 

 the result of having a profusion of 

 blooms, in our garden, that I have never 

 seen excelled under glass anywhere, to 

 say nothing of flowers grown out of doors. 

 I want to say to you that these roses have 

 given me more pleasure than any like 

 investment has ever afforded me.

Long Prairie, Minn., May 1, 1913. 

 My roses reached me on time Lo a min- 

 ute as I ordered. In 30 years' rose-grow- 

 ing I never received so nice a shipment 

 and I never saw so good a one sent out or 

 received by anyone. They were all mag- 

 nificent specimens, in the finest con- 

 dition. J. D. JONES.
