HOW^ TO GROW ROSES 



Roses for Washington, D. C, and Points South 



There is less variation, probably, between the chmatic con- 

 ditions of the various sections of the South than between the 

 sections of any other district of the United States, and, conse- 

 quently, roses which repeated tests have shown to do well in 

 Washington, D. C, may be rehed upon quite to the Gulf of 

 Mexico. 



Both Charles E. F. GersdorfP* and Furman L. Mulford, of the 

 Department of Agriculture, were close students of Dr. Van 

 Fleet and have had full opportunity to study and draw conclu- 

 sions from their own carefully kept records and those of the 

 Department of Agriculture, working in conjunction with the 

 American Rose Society.
