Rose 

 Gardens 



GARDENS of Glass in 

 which you can have rcses 

 in bloom 365 days cf the 

 whole glad year. 



Being fond of roses as you 

 are, this means a great deal. 

 It means you wont have to give 

 up your flowers and roses when the 

 Katydids announce frost. Simply have 

 your treasures moved into the glass 

 garden and go merrily on picking blooms and 

 having all the fun of gardening just the same. 

 Last month we published a delightful little 

 booklet called "Two G's, or Glass Gardens — A 

 Peep into Their Delights." We have a notion 

 you would find in it the answers to the many questions that are 

 this very moment coming up in your mind. It's mostly devoted 

 to gardens of the smaller sorts, but there are also a few 

 large ones. 



Glad to send you one of these Two G's booklets.
