MISS ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



The "GEM" List of New and Choice 



EVER -BLOOMING ROSES 



STANDARD VARIETI ES— Fop House Culture or Outdoor Planting 



Price, 10 cents each, three for 25 cents; any seven of your own selection for 50 cents; any 

 fifteen for $1.00. If you leave the selection of the varieties to me, 1 will send nine for 50 cents, 

 or twenty for $1.00. Large two-year-old Roses from this list, 25 cents each, or five for $1.00. 



For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year- 

 old plants, such as I send by mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year from early spring 

 until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion of flowers, owing 

 to their size. The flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance ; hardy 

 everywhere in open ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar ma- 

 terial. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses ; the harvest of bloom they give the first year 

 compensates for the trifling outlay. Anyone can succeed with them. 



Luttrell, Tenn., August 30, 1911. 

 My Dear Miss Baines : — Last February I purchased sixty of 

 the "Gem" list of choice ever-blooming Roses. They have 

 done exceedingly well, and fifty-two are in full bloom today. 

 They began blooming in May, and are so pretty everyone 

 wants to know where I got them. Wish you could see my 

 garden today. Sincerely,
