HOW TO GROW ROSES 



Tills fascinating chocolate-red flower is Moyesii, a species as yet rather rare 



Roses for Boston and Surrounding Territory 

 Harriet R. Foote, Alarblehead, Mass., an expert builder of 

 rose-gardens, sends the following with the hst of her choice: 



I am enclosing a list of rose bushes. They are not necessarily my 

 favorites, which are usually among the weaker growers and more tender 

 varieties. This hst is for amateurs with small collections. I have 

 placed them according to my audit in order of merit. All these have 

 been tried and tested in my own garden for many years, and are reason- 

 ably hardy, though I always give protection. 



I have left out George Arends on account of its susceptibihty to 

 mildew near the ocean. Mme. Edouard Herriot, though sometimes a 

 prey for black-spot, seems to be the best of its color, especially for 

 small collections.
