This 
Spring 

summer, protected over winter, you will find a planting of Roses one of the most satis- 
factory expenditures for your garden, 
There are more than 2000 Roses in general cultivation, and to list any large per- 
centage of these would be out of the question. The list which follows is the result of 
our tests and represents the ‘Cream of the Crop.’ Plant any of them with confidence. 
QUALITY PLANTS. The price of a Rose, like any other article, does not determine 
its value. Hillenmeyer Roses are strong, with good roots, true to name, Properly grown 
(which includes cultivation, spraying and understock), ripened by Nature, handled so 
they are not devitalized by exposure and are free of leaf-diseases. HILLENMEYER
