Set 



Cen fiardy Gver-blooming Roses for $1.00— Cbc best ever offered 



for Outdoor planting- 



HIS is the most popular collection of Roses we have ever offered. The reason is not far to 

 seek — it represents a great deal of value for little money. Of the hundreds of varieties tested 

 in our trial grounds during the past season, the ten beautiful ever-blooming Roses compris- 

 ing the " Keystone Set " were selected as the best for open-ground cultivation. For earli 

 ness 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 peers among the 

 ever-blooming Tea Roses. To the beginner in Rose culture whose knowledge of varieties is limited 

 this collection will appeal. They are the best of all ever-blooming Roses for general outdoor planting. 

 If you want a continual supply of flowers the entire season, plant the "Keystone collection."
