GROW THIS BEAUTIFUL 
ROSE IN YOUR GARDEN 
T HE Climbing American Beauty Rose was origina¬ 
ted by us—a cross between the American Beauty 
and a seedling of one of our hardy climbing roses. It 
will thrive and bloom wherever 
a climbing or pillar rose will. 
It has the same exquisitely 
fragrant, rosy- 
crimson flowers 
3 to 4 inches in 
diameter — but 
instead of a few 
flowers it is one 
mass of bloom 
in June, and con¬ 
tinues to bloom 
o c c a s i 0 n ally 
throughout the 
season. The 
leaves of our 
Climbing 
American 
Beauty 
are large, bright, 
glossy green and 
the foliage re¬ 
mains bright 
and attractive 
throughout t he 
entire growing 
season. The illustration shows a small part of a photo¬ 
graph of one Climbing American Beauty in bloom. 
Rose-lovers will certainly take great delight in this won¬ 
derful new rose. We will be pleased to send you. by 
mail postpaid, one or as many more as you like of these 
beautiful roses. One-year-old plants $2.00 each. Write 
for complete descriptive literature.

Send for Our Book of Trees—Tells How to 
Plant for Fruit and Shade. 
Every person who expects to 
plant trees this spring—a dozen 
or a thousand—should first send 
for Green's 1911 Complete Cata¬ 
logue. It lists everything de¬ 
sirable in fruit and shade trees, 
as well as small fruit; tells you 
how we sqU direct to you from 
our nurse o', and quotes you 
lowest "at-the-nursery” prices. 
By our money-saving, quality-giving 
plan, you pay no commissions, but buy 
direct from one of the largest nurseries in the United 
States, and you get nurserymen’s lowest prices.

GREEN’S TREES direct to you 
We grow, bud and graft quality trees from bearing 
orchards of our own—all hardy, northern grown and true 
to name. Every tree is triple inspected and guaranteed 
free from pests and scale. 
Green’s Nurseries are located in one of the greatest fruit 
centers in the United States—Northern New York—yet we 
are 6 to 12 miles distant from other nurseries—no chance 
for contagious disease. 
Our catalogue is our only salesman, and has been for 
over 30 years, but our square dealing policy makes our 
customers loyal to us and brings them back year after 
year with, new orders. If you have never bought trees 
imder Green’s Nursery plan, investigate by sending at once 
for the 1911 catalogue, and we will also send you free 
our remarkable book ‘‘Thirty Years with Fruits and 
„ Flowers.” Capital, $100,000.

Another suggestion for plants especi¬ 
ally fitted to supply foliage for winter 
decoration, either in the greenhouse or the 
window-box is the use of common root 
vegetables. Prosaic as this may sound, 
turnips, carrots, parsnips and beets pro¬ 
duce as beautiful foliage as many of the 
plants particularly intended for that pur¬ 
pose and they are raised with practically 
no care. Simply cut off the green leaves 
from the roots, pot singly in some gener¬ 
ous receptacle, and water. They should 
then be kept in the dark for about a week 
and then treated as any of the bulbs — 
placed in a warm, sunny room and well 
watered. In a short time green shoots 
will appear, and the resulting plant will 
be found just as satisfactory as any pur¬ 
chased variety. The beets, with their full- 
colored and variously-formed leaves, are 
decidedly attractive, while the delicate 
frondage of the carrot surely rivals the 
ferns mentioned above.

The Boston Museum of Fine Arts. By Julia 
De Wolf Addison. Illustrated. Cloth 
8vo, 454 pp. Boston: L. C. Page & Com¬ 
pany. $2.75. 
The fact that museums and art gal¬ 
leries are more frequently visited by for¬ 
eign than local inhabitants is acknowl¬ 
edged. A great many tourists who are en¬ 
thusiastic about the Louvre or Dresden 
galleries or British Museum have never 
seen the inside of the buildings of similar 
character in their own cities of Boston or 
New York. This volume is an interest¬ 
ing and instructive guide to the pleasures 
of the Boston Museum, appealing to just 
this class, showing some of the fine works 
of art which may be seen without an over¬ 
sea pilgrimage. To those who frequent 
this collection the book contains much 
which adds familiarity with its beauties. 
On the American painters it gives an in¬ 
timate history of the artist, the subject 
and the occasion, making it doubly inter¬ 
esting. The book is full of illuminating 
criticism and valuable data concerning all 
departments of the Museum, besides giv¬ 
ing an incentive to a visit which will be 
highly educational. 
The Body and Its Defenses. By Frances 
Gulick Jewett. Illustrated. Cloth, 161110.. 
342 pp. Boston and New York: Ginn & 
Company. 65 cents. 
This excellent book is one of the 
Gulick Hygiene Series edited by Luther 
Halsey Gulick. It lays emphasis on the 
body’s functions rather than on the physi¬ 
ological functions alone, and is a clear, 
rational treatment of these subjects.
