PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED. 

 We have just received a copy of the 

 American Rose Annual for 1919, with 

 the compliments of the editor, J. Hor- 

 ace McFarland. Rather an interna- 

 tional than an American book is this, 

 the 4th volume, for it presents the 

 after-war rose situation in France, 

 Luxemburg, Italy, England, Australia, 

 Bermuda and Canada in entertaining 

 letters from amateur and commercial 

 rose growers. 



Silver Wedding Roses is a delight- 

 ful article on how to have hardy roses 

 about the home without discourage- 

 ment, written by the talented author 

 of "The Garden of a Commuter's 

 Wife. - ' 



Fragrant Roses by Dr. W. Van Fleet, 

 tells of the rose-attar possibilities of 

 America, and informs the amateur of 

 the sweetest flowers. The same au- 

 thor's Rose-Breeding Notes for 1918 

 bring us up-to-date in the effort pro- 

 ceeding to obtain better hardy ever- 

 blooming roses in and for America. 



A Rose Enthusiast and His Garden 

 is the tell-how story of a great archi- 

 tect (George R. Mann), who confesses 

 that he was converted from golf to 

 roses, gives intimate details and bloom 

 records, and says his rose garden 

 takes "one hour a week in actual la- 

 bor, and maybe two hours a day in the 

 pursuit of happiness!" 



There are several lists of varieties, 

 with carefully tabulated statements of 

 variety experience, which will help the 

 amateur avoid waste. Winter Work 

 with Roses provides a new and fasci- 

 nating field of rose-pleasure, and there 

 is another Back-Yard Record of Rose 

 Bloom. 



The Northern Cherokee Rose will 

 surprise lovers of shrub roses, and the 

 account of several magnificent hardy 

 yellow shrub roses received from 

 China through the late Frank N. 

 Meyer is illustrated with three beau- 

 tiful plates. Information is given of 

 a novel method of rose-propagation 

 reported by the experts of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture. 



The Passing of a Great Rosarian 

 tells of the life of Admiral Aaron 

 Ward, the notable character who has 

 influenced rose-growing on two conti- 

 nents and held up the honor of the 

 nation all over the world. 



A double-size frontispiece in full 

 color shows E. G. Hill's great new 

 Rose Premier, and the French and 

 English hybridizers report their new- 

 est rose productions blooming during 

 the closing days of the war. The new 

 Madame Butterfly also makes her 

 rose-bow.

experience of the war told by Capt. 

 George C. Thomas, Jr., and The Roses 

 of an English Labor Leader is a sur- 

 prising contribution. 



Roses in Italy, by the Countess 

 Guilio Senni, will be found not only 

 good reading, but most suggestive for 

 American growers; and Roses in Aus- 

 tralia, by George W. Walls, with Roses 

 in Bermuda by Mrs. F. St. G. Caul- 

 field, show that the Queen of Flowers 

 reigns around the world. Harold W. 

 Nelles shows that he is Riding a 

 Rose Hobby in Montreal. 



Save and Use the Roses is a plan 

 that ought to bring smiles to many 

 sad faces, and it fits in with Turning 

 Roses into Red Cross Cash, a Cana- 

 dian experience which netted $1,960 

 last year for good work. 



Several wise commercial growers 

 discuss The Rose Cut-Flower Situation 

 of 1918 (S. S. Pennock), combine Ex- 

 perience and Prophecy (W. R. Pier- 

 son), and tell of Roses Cut and Roses 

 Growing (Charles H. Totty). Mr. 

 Totty also discusses the newer roses. 



Where Are Our Roses Coming 

 From? is the Editor's study of an 

 American shortage of three million 



roses, with certain very important sug- 

 gestions, accurate information as to 

 sources, and a letter from Dr. C. L. 

 Marlatt, of the Federal Horticultural 

 Board, telling How to Import New 

 Roses after the plant quarantine be- 

 comes effective June 1, 1919. 



There are poems, many other help- 

 ful articles, the closely accurate list 

 of roses originated in America (re- 

 vised to March 10, 1919), a timely re- 

 port on a bad rose disease, and twelve 

 pages including twenty-nine helpful 

 rose notes. The doings and rules of 

 the American Rose Society are briefly 

 set forth, and a complete index makes 

 the mass of information easily acces- 

 sible. 



This cloth-bound 1919 Annual (184 

 pages, 11 full-page plates in color and 

 sepia, uniform with preceding vol- 

 umes), is sent to all paid members of 

 the American Rose Society and to any 

 rose-loving person who forwards $2 

 lor annual membership to E. A. White, 

 Secretary, Ithaca, N. Y.
