ROSES, The Glory of the Garden 
The American home is hardly complete without its rose garden; the rose is truly the 
Queen of Flowers. No other flowering plant or shrub can compare with the rose in its deli¬ 
cate shades of color. Start a rose garden of your own; the pleasant recreation of caring 
for your plants and watching them grow and develop into wonderously beautiful flowers 
will many times repay you for the cost. Select half a dozen—a dozen, or as many as will 
be needed to plant a garden.
