**Star Roses Bloom in 8 Weeks** 



Order No. 1425 August 26, 10^2 



.... Your guarantee of blooming in 12 weeks' time could be 

 considerably shortened. To be exact, the bed was set out on 

 April 2, and on June 4 E. G. Hill and Alice Stanley were in full 

 bloom, only about 8 weeks after. Before the 12 weeks' duration 

 was up, every bush had bloomed and past. They are now in 

 their second bloom, and, as the expression goes, they are "a 

 sight for sore eyes." Dozens of blooms full out, dozens showing 

 color, and other dozens in bud. . . . — L. S. C, Dedham, Mass.
