Hardy Roses for the Home Beautiful 
The beauty of Roses is beyond description. Their utter loveliness of form, texture, fragrance and 
color cannot help but make them the most popular of all flowers for the garden or home. 
When added to these qualifications are ease of culture, quick and ample response in blossoms, it is not 
to be wondered at that the Rose has been aptly termed the “Queen of Flowers.” 
We olfer only the best and most popular of the well tried varieties, with the majority of which every 
lover of the Rose is familiar. We recommend them for general planting to those who wish the finest va¬ 
rieties, and a supply of extra choice flowers to cut throughout the season.
