degrees, and the air was redolent with
sweet perfume, while on every side
were rose plants, thrifty, vigorous and
healthy, giving promise of hosts ol
beautiful blooms within q very few

over so, 900 rose plants, but even witt
this vast number the supply fell short,
and he was obliged to stop the sale
before the Gloss of the season. This
year he will have. over 100, 900, and
hopes TO be able 70 supply all who may
wish.
The plants which he will furnish this
