ped orange red changing pleasingly in¬ 
to large salmon yellow double flowers

I received my roses 
May 11th and must 
tell you that I never 
saw such nice roses 
before. They were not 
the least bit wilted when 
I received them. They are 
all growing and healthy looking.

course may be relied upon as 
being impartial, and which is 
issued for the purpose of help¬ 
ing amateur rose growers—this 
is what they say in regard to 
WILDROOT roses, which we do 
not grow, and OWN ROOT roses, 
which is our specialty, and which 
we have always claimed are the 
most satisfactory for amateur rose 
growers: 
“The expert who can constantly 
watch his plants may be success¬ 
ful with grafted and budded 
roses, but the average grower 
would do best to use own rooted 
plants, even though they do not 
giow so fast. The few varieties 
that succeed only when grafted 
should not be tried until the 
grower has become expert in 
handling roses. Climbing 
roses are grafted less of¬ 
ten than hybrid per- 
petuals, hybrid 
teas', and teas.”
