Growing th« Queen of Flowers for pleaiure alone, or for 

 others, is a hobby fit for a King. Those who ride this 

 hobby most successfully have found that to court success 

 with Roses one must get good plants to start with and we 

 strive to merit the approval of the most particular people 

 to give the best Roses that can be grown. Strong two year 

 old plants. The difference in results over other stock is 

 much greater than the slight difference in cost. Many suc- 

 cessful amateurs give credit to Steckler's Roses for the 

 prizes they win.
