I wish to take this opportu- 
nity to thank you for the copy of 
“How To Grow Roses.”’ I have 
analyzed the book carefully and 
I was amazed at the way you 
put all your information on this 
wonderful flower 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. 
Sincerely yours,

When we say that everyone loves Roses, we do not feel that 
the statement is too strong, for we have yet to find or hear of 
anyone who is not fond of ‘““The Queen of Flowers.” 
In any ordinary group of people you 
will find few who are afraid to try grow- 
ing vegetables, yet in the same group 
you will probably find. a number who 
are afraid to try growing Roses. 
When you read “‘How To Grow Roses” 
you will find that all the mystery and 
difficulty has been taken away from this 
subject, for the book has been written 
by a practical rosarian, who has traveled 
all through America and Europe in col- 
lecting Rose-growing information, which 
is now presented in such simple form and 
with such instructive illustrations that 
anyone who has patience and perseverance enough to grow a 
cabbage can successfully grow Roses 
The book tells not only “how” to grow Roses, but where to 
grow them and the right kinds to get to insure success in any 
part of the United States.

Helped Her Save 
Nearly All Her Roses 
I have your book ‘‘How 
To Grow Roses” and by fol- 
lowing instructions as to 
covering, I saved nearly all 
of my Roses (I have 75); at 
least 50 are Teas or Hybrid 
Teas, and the thermometer 
went down to 21 degrees 
below zero, so you can see - 
I am proud of my strong 1 DTZ 
plants. This is my fifth 
year’s purchase from your 
firm, and I’m well pleased.

“THE MOST VALUABLE 
WORK ON ROSES” 
Ihave read ‘‘How To Grow 
Roses”’ twice and consider it the 
most valuable work on Roses for 
America ever sent out. Its con- 
struction isadmirable and shows 
thought and wisdom. 
The cal- 
endar gives valuable instruc- 
tions in a nut shell and your 
cuts on drainage, pruning, etc., 
are just right. The whole work 
is admirable and you should be 
proud of it.

If you simply wanted something to read, without any idea 
of getting instruction about growing Roses, you might turn 
to this book and be delightfully entertained for an hour 
orso. In this way it is an unusual Rose book, for in it 
you will find how the famous “attar of Roses” is made, 
how to make Rose-beads, something about “the Red Rose 
Church” at Manheim, and also about the most beautiful 
Rose-garden in the world. 
To a lover of Roses there is more than this, for a beginner 
is told how to begin, how to establish ideals, and get started 
right; after which comes the valuable “Calendar of Opera- 
tions,” 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 drainage, soil, and 
fertilizers. You are told how to handle the plants when 
you receive them and the best way to mulch and protect 
them during the winter so they will be in best possible 
condition to give bounteous bloom the next season. 
Further on is a most valuable list of Roses, with instruc- 
tions for pruning each one. The book ends with a list of 
“Roses Arranged in Classes,” valuable to any lover of 
“The Queen of Flowers.” Price, $1.25, postpaid.
