By Robert Pyle 
Secretary 
American Rose Society 
Nearly 200 pages of text and illustrations, 16 pages 
in color—all devoted to the culture of the Queen of 
Flowers. Book attractively bound in dark blue cloth, 
lettered in gold. 
Every aspect of rose growing discussed authorita¬ 
tively and entertainingly by one whose years of expe¬ 
rience enable him to know just what information is 
of greatest value to the beginner and the advanced 
amateur grower. 
The Blister Beetle 
'T'HE Blister Beetle, or Black Aster Beetle, 
ranks second only to the rapacious Rose 
Bug in the destruction wrought to your 
favorite flowers. It appears in August and 
throughout the fall months. Though, per¬ 
haps, even more resistant 
than the Rose Bug, it can¬ 
not escape MELROSINE, 
which is 
FATAL TO EVERY 
BUG IT TOUCHES 
Melrosine is sold at the better 
horticultural supply stores. 
If your dealer does not offer it, 
a trial can will be mailed upon 
receipt of 6oc.

Dr. Edmund M. Mills, President, Syracuse Rose 
Society wrote on May 5th, “I have received and 
read the new edition, ‘How to Grow Roses.' If I 
could put only one rose book in the hands of a 
Rose Amateur, it would be ‘How to Grow Roses.' 
It is practical and, at the same time poetical. I 
have a large rose library but it is the best illus¬ 
tration of ‘multum in parvo' that I have." 
Pleasurable vacation reading and an excellent addition 
to your library. Send check, cash, or money order
