Do you know what makes a good 

 Rose ? Probably not ; then listen : All 

 roses on their own roots, and they are 

 the best, are grown from cuttings or 

 branches of the PARENT plant. Say 

 the parent plant produces five cuttings 

 or young plants with TWO eyes or 

 branches, from which it makes other 

 branches. In order to make the parent 

 plant pay a great percentage it can be 

 cut into ten ONE-eyed cuttings— making 

 ten young plants instead of five two- 

 eyed plants. These one-eyed plants, 

 sold at 15 cts. each, will bring $1.50, 

 while if they are made from two-eyed 

 cuttings, as we make them, they will 

 bring but $1.00 at 20 cts. each— a seem- 

 ingly higher price; but a plant of this 

 kind has twice the vitality and twice the 

 blooming capacity of the one-eyed kind. 

 They are the only kind to buy. Just 

 remember when comparing prices that 

 all our plants are grown from these 

 high-grade, two-eyed plants- the best 

 in the world. If you want the weak, 

 one eyed plants, they can be had cheap- 

 er, and so they ought be. We do not 

 grow them, much less sell them.
