MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
pairy Rose Seed . (The only genu¬ 
ine “Baby Rose/’) & 
(Rosa Multiflora nana Perpetua.) 
This is the true New Hardy Hybrid 
Perpetual, Ever-Blooming Rose, which 
will surely blossom in sixty days. This 
variety is entirely new and very expen¬ 
sive, and must not be confounded with 
seed sold as “Polyantha” or “Multi¬ 
flora,” which simply means “many-flow¬ 
ered,” and will not bloom under four to 
six months, and altogether inferior in 
everyway. These Roses are a wonderful 
freak of nature. These sturdy little Mid¬ 
gets start to flower in babyhood, two 
months from seed. They flower on little 
shoots three inches high. With age the 
flowers increase in size and number, until 
large trusses of bloom cover the plant 
from spring until frost, when the flower 
trusses are closely followed by clusters of 
bright red hips or seed pods. They are 
hardy and live from year to year, increas¬ 
ing in beauty and perfection each year. 
The flowers come double, semidouble, in 
many colors, white, pink and crimson.

„ My ar 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 mvself if I were thirty 
years younger. Yours truly, Mrs. E. E. I-Iopkinson.

t my bear Miss Martin In January I sent to you for your “Baby Rose” collection, and planted the Fairy Rose 
January 14, lollo wing 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 
m a aa Y or so - 1J0 y°u 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 2inches 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.
