One Hundred Fifty-eight Choice Roses 



Loving roses as we do; living among them and watching 

 them closely and constantly, under all sorts of conditions; 

 having before us reports upon roses from every country on 

 earth to which our roses go, and knowing, too, the prize- 

 winners and kinds that have pleased amateurs here and 

 almost everywhere; watching the new roses as they "come 

 out," testing all kinds and holding fast to those which are 

 good, out of an experience like that has come our choice of 

 these 158 roses. See abbreviations, for class, growth, pur- 

 pose, and pruning, explained on pages 39 to 42.
