A RARE MIXTURE OF TEA ROSES, NOISETTES 

 AND HYBRID VARIETIES. 



Try a package of this splendid mixture and grow your own roses from seed. 

 Every new rose that is offered is grown from seed, or occasional sports. You do 

 not have to wait forever to know what your seeds are going to bring forth, for a 

 Tea Rose is so anxious to bloom that it will often put out buds when only a few 

 inches high ; the buds should be pinched off until it attains some size, and has 

 strength to give to flowers. The mixture is saved from a splendid collection 

 of the very best roses of many classes, and the butterflies and bees have 

 busied themselves all season fertilizing the flowers, and no one knows what 

 lovely roses may result from their labors. Pkt 10c; extra large pkt 25c; oz. 75c
