 Nana, or "Little Midget" 

 Rose, is a charming little 



giant about ten inches high, 

 earing clusters of minute 

 roses only an inch across, double, 

 semi-double, or sometimes single.

 like a mass of double crab-apple 

 blossoms. I can assure my custom- 

 ers who wish to try this recent nov- 

 elty that I have taken pains to secure 

 the best seed and true to name. Not

 few weeks from planting, though not attaining perfec- 

 tion vmtil second year. Pkt., 25 seeds, 8 cts.
