If you simply wanted something to read, without any idea of getting Instruction 

 about growing roses, you might turn to this book and be dehghtfully entertained for an 

 hour or so. In this way, it is an unusual Rose book; for in it you will find how the

 of Operations," telling when and how to prune, spray, fertilize, and otherwise care for 

 Roses the year round. There is a chapter on "Where To Plant Roses," and others on

 them and the best way to mulch and protect them during the winter. Further on Is a 

 most valuable list of Roses, with Instructions for pruning each one.

 to any lover of "The Queen of Flowers." Price $1.25, postpaid.

"THE MOST VALUABLE WORK ON ROSES" 



I have read "How To Grow Roses" twice and 

 consider it the most valuable work ou Roses for 

 America ever sent out. Its construction is admir- 

 able and shows thought and wisdom. The calen- 

 dar gives valuable instructions in a nutshell and 

 your cuts on drainage, pruning, etc., are just 

 right. The whole work is admirable and you 

 should be proud of it.

I wish to take this opportunitv to thank you 

 for the copy of "How To Grow Roses." I have 

 analyzed the book carefully and I wa.-: amazed 

 at the way you put all your information on this 

 wonderful flfower into such a small volume. It is 

 certainly a creditable piece of work and by far 

 the most practical treatise on the subject that 

 has come to my notice.
