USEFUL AS A CUT-FLOWER 



Adolph Muller, Norristown, Pa., writes: "The single Roses de- 

 serve to become more popular. On June 28 I cut a big bunch of 

 American Pillar, placed them in a vase on my dining-room table, 

 where they remained until the following Sunday without dropping 

 their petals. They then commenced to fade after being cut and 

 in water /o;- eight days. Don't think I ever saw a more beautiful 

 bunch of flowers, they are far more graceful than the double flowers." 



DOROTHY PERKINS, Pink. Grows 10 to 15 feet in 



a season. The clear shell-pink flowers are perfectly 



double, with petals crinkled; borne in immense clusters 



that cover the bush for several weeks in the spring.

and freedom of flowering; a splendid companion for 



the pink variety, as it flowers at the same time. A
