A cloth-bound book, 121 pages — 16 full-page color plates. 80 instructive illustrations 



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 or so. 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, some- 

 thing 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 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 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. Further on is a most valuable list of 

 Roses, with instructions 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, postpaid.

"THE MOST VALUABLE WORK ON 

 ROSES" 



I have read "How to Grow Roses" 

 twice and consider it the most valuable 

 work on Roses for America ever sent out. 

 Its construction is admirable and shows 

 thought and wisdom. The calendar gives 

 valuable instructions 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. 

 Sincerely yours, 

 W. C. Egan, 

 "Egandale," Highland Park, Illinois.

INSURE SUCCESS 



I have your book "How to Grow Roses" 

 and by following instructions as to cover- 

 ing, 1 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 plants. This is my 

 fifth year's purchase from your firm, and 

 I'm well pleased.— Mrs. W. M. B., St. 

 Louis, Mo. 



DEPARTMENT OF FLORICULTURE 



I wish to take this opportunity to thank 

 you for the copy of "How to Grow Roses." 

 I have analysed the book carefully and I 

 was amazed at the way you put all >our 

 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, 



Prof. Arno H. Nehrling, 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College. 



If one man and his wife elect to create and maintain a Rose garden such as this for their family and friends, why should others not follow 

 their good example? Your own public park could double and treble its present popularity by growing Roses. We can prove it by those 

 \vho have tried. If you wish more information, write us about this.
