T HOUGH introduced fifteen years ago, Karl Rosenfield

compact semi-rose shape. It blooms freely during mid¬ 
season when its glossy, brilliant flowers create most strik¬ 
ing effects either in single clumps or massed in the bor¬ 
der. Mv stock of Karl Rosenfield is extra fine, hence 
this liberal offer:— 
Strong roots. $2.00 each. Should bloom next June! 
Karl Rosenfield is just one of many
