AMERICAN GROWN ROSES 



The American grown rose, however, I find is con- 

 sidered by many people to be by far the best. 

 While its slender brown stems are not as at- 

 tractive to the ignorant gardener as the thick, green 

 of the imported, it is much more adapted to our 

 soil and climatic conditions. It is cheaper, too, and 

 splendid varieties, in 2i/2-in. and 3-in. pots, can be 

 bought as low as $5.00 or $6.00 a hundred from ex- 

 pert growers, by the person willing to start a rose 

 garden and then wait a year for really fine results. 



In lots of fifteen, however, many of these fine 

 varieties of one-year-old plants can be bought for 

 $1.00, with the growers' guarantee that *^they will 

 bloom the first and each succeeding year, from early- 

 spring until severe frost. ' ' The plants are small, of 

 course, but who could ask for more at that price! 



The (probably) best informed man in the Eastern 

 United States recommends the follomng list of 

 Teas and Hybrid Teas, — and it has been adopted
