Exquisite Qrace and Beauty — The ROSES 
E VERY home should have its garden of Roses. They will pay generously for the 
room and care you give them. Plant Roses for bedding, for cutting and for their 
beauty of color, form and fragrance. Select varieties carefully and do not over¬ 
look the hardy R.ugosa Roses which bloom all summer and need no winter protection. 
Find a place, too, for a bed of F. J. Grootendorst and for some of those beautiful 
Climbing Roses that give such an abundance of bloom.
