 months from seed. They flower on little

 flowers increase in size and number, until 

 laige trusses of bloom cover the plant

ROSE TESTIMONIALS. 



TuRBOTVTLLE, Pa., March 31, 1899. 

 Miss Mary E. Martin — Please send me 

 1 packet, 3 capsules, 20 seeds, with " Ja- 

 doo" for sowing, of Rosa Multiflora nana 

 Perpetua. We are very much pleased 

 with them. We have onethat has 43 buds 

 just now. Mrs. E. H. Ebeets. 



Groveland, April 24. 



My Dear Miss Martin— The package of rose seeds you sent that " looked dark " came up, and I had five plants. My 

 first ones blossomed in 57 days from sowing the seed. Please accept my thanks for the last package. 



It gives me. pleasure to know that a woman has started out in this business. I would try it myself if I were thirty 

 years younger. Yours truly, Mrs. E. E. Hopkinson. 



HoHOEUS, April 22. 

 My Dear Miss Martin— In January I sent to you for your "Baby Rose" collection, and planted the Fairy Rose 

 January 14, following your directions. It came up at once, and very soon developed buds — the tiniest things I ever saw. 

 It has created quite a sensation in our little neighborhood, and I have given your address to several friends. I was so 

 pleased I thought I must write you, and will give you a few addresses of friends. The roses are not fully out, but will be 

 in a day or so. Do you think I can safely plant them in the ground as soon as it is warm enough ? I shall take pleasure 

 in introducing you to my friends. Sincerely, Mrs. R. W. Hawes, Hohokus, N. J. 



Miss Martin — I send you a small order to-day. I have been buying seed and plants 

 from you two or three years, and have been greatly pleased with what you have sent me. 

 I have a Chinese primrose from your seed and it has been a beauty since 1st of December — 

 has had several hundred bright red blooms and has lots of buds yet. I bought " Baby 

 Rose" seed from you last year and raised one plant which was a little curiosity, as it 

 bloomed at 2 inches high. My spotted Calla from you was 36 inches high last Summer, but 

 did not bloom, I hope it will bloom this year, as the bulb is so large. I have a nice little 

 greenhouse and a very nice collection of flowers, which I love dearly. I have had fewer fail- 

 ures from your seed and plants than I usually expect from plants that are new to me. 



Wishing you much success, I remain, Mrs. W. H. Oliver. 



Miss M. E. Martin — My Fairy Rose seed I got of you last spring. The plants are 

 full of bloom. They are quite a wonder to some people. There are no others in this place.
