UNIVERSAL FAVORITES 



43 



Miss Helen Gould louIlI atl<ji(J a garden like this 



We now have before us (1 ) the twelve roses receiving the 

 highest number of votes from the answering members of the 

 American Rose Society; (2) the twelve receiving the highest 

 number of votes by leading rose experts in ten widely separate 

 sections of the country; and (3) the twelve receiving the unani- 

 mous vote of America's leading rose catalogue makers — with 

 the result that only four roses are found on each one of the 

 above three summarized ballots. So judged, these varieties 

 come nearest being, up to date, universal favorites in America. 

 Thev are: 



Frau Karl Druschki 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward 



Ophelia 

 Radiance 



The four named are not the most spectacular sorts, and 

 probably if you were showing a visitor through your garden, 

 might not attract the most attention. But one undoubted 

 reason why these four excellent roses find their way to the top 

 of the heap after so much sifting is because they can be counted 

 upon to perform abundantly and pleasingly under the greatest 

 variety of conditions.
