fine for growing indoors during the winter in pots or pans or
in special glasses filled with water.

Beauty of Roses Enhances Any Garden

Growing the Queen of Flowers for pleasure alone, or for

to give the best Roses that can be grown. Strong two year
old plants. The difference in results over other stock is
much greater than the slight difference in cost. Many suc-
cessful amateurs give credit to Steckler’s Roses for the
prizes they win.

substance. Its principal use is to stimulate
rapid root growth on cuttings. It has wide-
spread use in propagating cuttings, whether
rooted with ease, or normally rooted with
difficulty. Many cuttings formerly impossi-
ble to propagate may now be rooted with the
aid of Hormodin.
