HOW TO GROW ROSES 



Roses for Seattle and Vicinity 



The Seattle Rose Society has recently taken a vote which it 

 is a pleasure to be able to publish here because Seattle is perhaps 

 the key city in that very important rose section in the state of 

 Washington contiguous to Puget Sound. 



Mr. H. L. Collier, president of the Seattle Rose Society, 

 writes, March 21, 1923: 



The Seattle Rose Society sent out questionnaires to 250 rose fanciers 

 in Seattle and other west-side cities, requesting the names of the best 

 ten garden roses, named in order of preference, and received 111 

 replies. In all, 137 different roses were named. 



The result of the tabulation is shown below with the names arranged 

 in order up to the fiftieth choice.
