A basket full Of fragrant roses for
home decoration, without rose gar

too good to be true. However. this
new type of rose will give you just
that.

fence in a comparatively small space

bound to become popular-particilar
ly with the farm owner and the small
suburban home owner. Among the
many which might be mentioned may
be found the following. which have
been introduced long enough to have
given proof that they will succeed
anywhere. under ordinarily good
growing conditions.
