GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 



^'A devoted cottager/' says Neltje Blanchan, ^*may 

 easily have more beautiful roses than the indifferent 

 millionaire." 



The following lists comprise a few of the best of 

 the different classes mentioned. I wish you suc- 

 cess in your choice. 



ROSES 



A FEW OP THE BEST OF EACH KIND 



Teas. (Tenderest of roses, needing winter protec- 

 tion. Noted for delicate shades and fra- 

 grance.) 



Maman Cochet, free bloomer, hardiest of the teas ; 

 rose-pink. 



Marie Van Houtte, also a free bloomer and quite 

 hardy ; canary yellow. 



Souvenir de Catherine Guillot, a rose of excel- 

 lence ; copper-carmine. 



White Maman Cochet, a strong grower, like the 

 pink; white. 



Hybrid Teas. (Best for the garden, as they com- 

 bine the best qualities of the teas and the hy- 

 brid perpetuals, — color, hardiness, and steady 

 bloom.) 



Caroline Testout, one of the most popular, 

 slightly fragrant; rose pink. 



Etoile de France, continuous bloomer and fra- 

 grant; crimson.
