"<a Utttle iSoofe about Hoses" 



for 1912 is a real gem — far-and-away the best I have vet issued. 

 Among those who know, this booklet is also the most helpful and in- 

 r spiring of anything of its kind yet attempted. It, and the business 

 behind it. is the outcome — the result of many years of enthusiastic 

 amateur _ and professional devotion to the flower nearest the heart 

 of mankind the world over. 

 Unique in its honesty in describing (and pricing) the world's best roses of 

 today, it also tells in detail how even the merest tyro may surely succeed.
