Every year our Sunny South Collection becomes more popular. No two varie- 
ties alike and each year we make a change of varieties. Any one who ordered our 
1917 collection last year can order our 1918 collection and get largely different 
varieties from what they did last year and only such varieties as are well adapted 
to Southern plantings. Twelve well-rooted rose plants for 85 cents is a bargain 
for any one. If ordered separate from collection, 12 cents each.
