It Contains a Feast of Information for 

 Every Grower of Roses. 



In Kiviiis to the rose enthusiasts 

 of this country such a book as the 

 American Rose Annual tor 1920, the 

 American Rose Society is doing a 

 great service. And certainly the edi- 

 tor. Mr. .1. Horace McFarland is de- 

 serving all the kind things which are 

 being said about him in connection 

 with this volume. Perhaps it would 

 not be right to say that this issue is 

 better than that of any previous year, 

 but it covers a somewhat wider lati- 

 tude, and should interest every rose 

 grower, whether commercial or ama- 

 teur. 



.\ new feature is a collection of in- 

 teresting rose notes, one of them be- 

 ing accompanied by an illustration 

 which shows a charming plan for cov- 

 ering a four-post arch with the hybrid 

 rugosa Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. 



Special attention is given to the 

 climbing roses, a fact that is justified 

 by the great interest being shown in 

 these roses at the present time and 

 the attention which is being given 

 them by such expert hybridizers as 

 George C. Thomas, Jr., and Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet. Incidentally it may be said 

 that the Annual contains a remarkably 

 good full page cut of the latter. 



Dr. Van Fleet's rose breeding notes 

 will be read with the keenest interest 

 by all who have followed his work. 



Rose growers have been right in ex- 

 pecting much from Mr. Thomas, and 

 his article will meet their expecta- 

 tions. It has to do largely with the 

 production of a hardy ever-blooming 

 climber, the kind of rose for which a 

 great army of amateurs have been 

 waiting. 



The book contains several splendid 

 Illustrations of Mr. Thomas' rose, sev- 

 eral of them in color. The illustra- 

 tion of the Dr. Huey rose Is especial- 

 ly fine. 



Articles of special importance to 

 those who grow roses In a large way 

 are those of William P. Bentz on "A 

 Five-Years' Experience with Old Roots 

 vs. Budded Roses, " Jesse A. Currey's 

 "New Roses Scientifically Tested," and 

 C. J. Weigel's "A Serious Menace to 

 Greenhouse Roses." 



There is a list of new roses in Great 

 Britain as well as of American roses, 

 with more or less full descriptions, as 

 well as much other exceedingly valua- 

 ble and important information. .Alto- 

 gether this year's Annual Is one which 

 no rose grower can afford to miss.
