FROM ILLINOIS . . . 



"These are the most beautiful 

 roses. I have more comments on 

 them. I have sent for flowers be- 

 fore and usually they never grow. 

 So I was pretty worried about 

 these. But I had the biggest sur- 

 prise. The miniature roses are 

 beautiful and everyone wants to 

 know where they came from. The 

 yellow climber looks as waxy and 

 pretty as the pictures in books. I 

 am very pleased with all that I 

 ordered and want some others in 

 the spring again."
