HOW' TO GROW' ROSES 



A regional separation of the result of this vote (see page 176) 

 shows that certain roses are not without honor in every section 

 of our country, Opheha and Frau Karl Druschki holding a 

 position of distinction in every case, and four others being noted 

 as among the choice twelve in every group but one among the 

 bush roses. 



Among the Chmbers there is found even less variation of 

 choice. When we compare the vote from each section of the 

 country we find that seven roses out of each twelve are identical 

 in each set. 



That looks as though it were less important to have special 

 roses for each locality than to have the choicest roses in every 

 locality. Furthermore, we know not how broad was the range 

 of varieties from which the above were chosen. 



Note. — We are indebted to J. Horace McFarland, Editor for the American 

 Rose Society, for compilation of the valuable report on page 176, which also 

 appears in the 1923 "American Rose Annual." 



Of course she admires them and also helps to care for them
