" The Adventures of Bobby Orde " 



" In one sense it is the finest thing the Grand Rapids novelist has done. 

 It shows a finer and sweeter knowledge of human nature than any of his 

 big novels of the lumber woods and of adventures by sea and land. He 

 has gone straight to the heart and motives of the normal healthy child, 

 and that is why, while it is the story of a boy, it is very much a story for 

 grownups and will appeal inerringly to every man who has not forgotten 

 his queer impulses, his bashfulness and his devoted friendship and little 

 chivalries while he was himself a boy. — Grand Rapids Evening Press."

"The Rules of the Game " 



" It is full of adventure, and has a climax of absorbing interest." — St. 

 John Globe. 



Illustrated. Fixed price, $1.40 (postage 15c). 



"The Cabin " 



" ' The Cabin ' has somehow captured the spell of the wild woods and 

 the brooding peace of the mountains. ' The Cabin ' is gotten up in 

 the style that charms one utterly before the first page is read, and the 

 illustrations make you feel perfectly wild to be up and away to the 

 Sierras." — Lexington Herald.

November Days Are Red Letter Days at 



Rosedale 



One November day in 1905 we booked an order 

 for nearly $4,000 and the buyer is still an enthu- 

 siastic customer. The time is ideal for planting 

 deciduous trees and shrubs in many varieties. Of 

 1215 trees and shrubs planted by us one November 

 on a large estate at Scarboro, N. Y., only 12 failed, 

 or less than one per cent. 



By frequent transplanting, a well developed 

 root-system insures not only the life but also 

 the vigorous growth of Rosedale products whether 

 of ordinary or 



Large Sizes for Immediate Effect 



Rosedale Catalogue describes and prices our full line 

 of Hardy products, including: Dwarf and Standard Fruit 

 Trees, Irish Roses, Flowering Shrubs, Vines and Trees up 

 to 20 ft. Hardy perennials and Holland Bulbs. 



Order now and we will ship only what may be 

 safely planted, holding the balance of your order 

 for Spring.
