Rosa Spinosissima 



E HAVE succeeded in getting up a large 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 beauti- 

 ful 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 indescribable 

 beauty. It should be planted in groups, and like the Rosa 

 Rugosa, it can be used in the shrubbery. Coming from 

 Siberia, it is absolutely hardy. Limited stock.

With single glass sash you 

 have to get out in the cold 

 and snow, night and morn- 

 ing, to cover and uncover 

 the beds. 



—J*^ 



With Sunlight Double 

 Glass Sash you eliminate 

 all the hard work of cover- 

 ing and uncovering. The 

 two layers of glass take the 

 place of the mats and boards. 



The Recreation of Winter Gardening 



Everyone who has a back yard would grow his own flowers and vegetables 

 were it not for the back-breaking and discouraging drudgery of covering 

 and uncovering the beds with mats and boards. 



You can have violets all winter: fresh 

 vegetables for the table; plants to 

 set out early. 



Since you never cover plants under Sunlight 

 Double Ghss sash, they get all the light all the 

 lime and grow faster than they would otherwise. 

 This means that through the entire winter you can 

 have violets for your flower 

 vases, fresh green lettuce, etc., 

 for the table, tomato 

 plants to set out as 



soon as the weather will permit. When your 

 neighbors are paying fancy prices at the 

 grocer's and florist's for these things, you 

 have them right out of your own garden. 



Now everybody can try a bit of winter gardening. Sun- 

 light Double Glass Sash, the new invention, has two layers of 

 glass instead of one. Between the two 

 layers is a 5-8 inch layer of dry, still air, 

 a better protection than mats or boards — 

 eliminating all the hard work of hot-bed 

 and cold-frame gardening. 



Read what others have grown 



J. H. Wilson & Son, McLeansboro, 

 Illinois, used Sunlight Sash on cold-frames 

 all winter and spring, and grew cosmos, 

 asters, lettuce and tomatoes in them. 



The lowest temperature was 6 degrees below 



zero and no plants were injured. "The sashes 



were perfectly satisfactory and successful." 



Write today for your »et of gardening books. One is our free catalog; the other is a book on hot-beds and cold-frames by Professor Massey. It is 

 authoritative, tells how to make and care for the hot-beds, what and when to plant. 4c in stamps will bring Professor Massey's book in addition to the catalog.
