invariably return to the jacqueminot, espe¬ 
cially if they expect cuttings. 
A rich, velvety crimson, very handsome 
in its brilliancy, fine buds, large, full roses, 
delightfully fragrant and well adapted to 
open ground culture. 
It blooms in great profusion in June, 
and there is also considerable bloom during 
the later summer and fall. The writer has 
observed that for some reason some roses 
of this name are more free to bloom after 
June than others. 
Gen. Jacqueminot is a Hybrid Perpetual, 
and among the hardiest of roses ; so hardy 
that it persists in living almost without 
protection along the coast of Green Bay. 
The picture accompanying this descrip¬ 
tion was taken July 2d — hardly a June 
rose this year, owing to the unusual late¬ 
ness of the season. 
The bush stands five and one-half feet 
high; breadth of view, six and three- 
fourth feet; circumference at fullest part, 
twelve and one-half feet, giving us nearly 
two hundred roses. 
We find the best results in protecting 
the rose by gradually and gently turning 
the bush on one side late in the fall, and 
holding it down with light boards and cov¬ 
ering freely with straw, held from blow¬ 
ing off by light weights. 
Rich, loamy soil, judicious culture and 
sufficient covering during the winter are 
rewarded by an abundance of bloom.

in either red and white or blue and white 
stripes, as picturesque as it is practical. 
The umbrella can be closed and stood in 
a corner when not in use, just as are the 
I smaller ones of rainy day usefulness, but 
the iron table can spend the entire summer 
in the same spot on the lawn, as it is made 
entirely weatherproof by the paint. 
A rustic summer-house of ample pro¬ 
portions that may be fitted up as an out¬ 
door room for serving tea, for a sitting- 
room or for sleeping-quarters, can be 
bought in sections all ready to put to¬ 
gether. If it has a floor, so much the bet¬ 
ter for its usefulness. The stationary seat 
built around three sides, with a rustic table 
in the center, constitutes its furnishings, 
which can be augmented by other chairs, 
or a cot and outside curtains if it is to be 
used as a sleeping-room. At any rate its 
possibilities for comfort are practically un¬ 
limited and it has an advantage over the 
furnished piazza, for it can stay in a 
secluded spot or be set up right in the 
midst of any outdoor festivities with equal 
facility. 
Notes for Southern Gardens 
A/TONTBRETIAS, better known by 
their pretty nickname of “Merry 
Breezes, are indispensable—-even in a gar¬ 
den full of rarer plants. The blossoms, 
combined with plenty of the leaves, are 
very satisfactory in decorating. Out of 
blooming time, and when flowers general¬ 
ly are scarce, there are constant calls for 
T O THE unthinking, one greenhouse is quite like another. It 
is simply a glass house where nature can be outwitted. In¬ 
vestigation, however, will reveal that there is quite as much 
difference in greenhouses as in automobiles; both as to endurance 
and ease of handling, as well as accomplishments. 
Take the U-Bar Greenhouse for example: there is no house con¬ 
structed like it, because Uncle Sam’s Patent says: no one else can 
use U-Bars for greenhouse building. It is the only house having a 
complete galvanized steel, aluminum coated frame. No other construction has 
the roof glazing bars entirely unexposed to the moisture inside the house. And 
it is the bars that first give out in a greenhouse. 
It is likewise the only house having the U-Bar Curved Eaves, the eave that 
will add so much to the attractiveness and real productiveness of your house. 
In brief — it is a distinctive constructio n — and looks it. Obviously, a logical 
investment for you. 
This particular house, with its four compartments and work room, is freely 
illustrated and untechnically described in the catalog. Some fifty or more 
others are also there. 
If the greenhouse “bee is buzzing in your bonnet,’’ this catalog will satisfac¬ 
torily answer many of your queries. We will gladly answer the rest, either by 
correspondence, or in person. Send for the catalog or send for us — or both.
