THE KEYSTONE SET 



Fifteen Hardy Ever-Blooming Roses for $1. The Best Ever Offered for Outdoor Planting 



THIS is the most popular collection of Roses we have ever offered. It represents great value for little 

 money. Of the hundreds of varieties tested in our trial grounds during the past season, the fifteen 

 beautiful Ever-blooming Roses comprising the Keystone Set were selected as the best for open- 

 ground cultivation. For earliness and freedom of bloom, beauty of buds and flowers both in form 

 and color, as well as for strong, uniform growth, hardiness, constancy and profusion of bloom, they 

 are the best among the Ever-blooming Tea Roses. This collection will appeal to the beginner in Rose culture 

 whose knowledge of varieties is limited. They are the best of all Ever-blooming Roses for general out-door 

 planting. If you want a continual supply of flowers the entire season, plant the Keystone Collection. 

 Plant one-year-old Roses liberally. They are sure to be satisfactory.
