AN ANNOUNCEMENT 
The 1912 edition of 
Little Book About Roses’^ 
is bound in an embossed colored cover 
by Stillson, representing the acme of the 
engravers’, printers’ and paper makers’ 
art. In beauty of color and chaste ele¬ 
gance I have never seen anything to 
equal it, and besides it is the most help¬ 
ful and inspiring of anything of its kind 
yet attempted. 
It’s the story of a successful enthu¬ 
siast who for ten years was an amateur 
himself and it possesses a charm and indi¬ 
viduality which will delight—a frankness 
which will win you. 
Mailed free to customers and intend¬ 
ing purchasers—to anyone, without obli¬ 
gation to purchase, for ten cents in coin 
or stamps.
