THE MADAME HOSTE SET— Six Superb New Ever-blooming Roses— Post-paid for 

 $1.20. We hope thousands of our good friends will buy the Madame Hoste Set this year. It is 

 not particularly cheap, but every Rose is a gem ; not a common one among them, and you can't find six 

 choicer or more beautiful Ever-blooming Roses in the whole book. They are all rare sorts of remarkable 

 beauty, and, what is more, they are vigorous, healthy kinds that will grow and bloom and give satisfaction; 

 the colors embrace the choicest new Tea shades, so much admired. Not entirely hardy, but will generally 

 stand the Winter if given a good covering of leaves and litter just before Winter begins.
