Here again we find a source of reliable information. It comes 

 from Theodore Wirth, who is superintendent of the parks of 

 Minneapohs where, for the great Northwest, he has recently 

 completed planning and planting one of America's fmest 

 memorial avenues dedicated to the memory of her World War 

 heroes. Mr. Wirth is also builder of the famous public rose-

 mendations from Mr. Wirth come as a result of actual tests in 

 the rose-garden at Lyndale Park, Minn. Mr. \Mrth writes:
