HOW TO GROW ROSES 



For the South Atlantic and Gulf States 



Some people are said to have been born with silver spoons 

 in their mouths, and correspondingly the young man who 

 recommends the following list, as proven among the choice 

 "doers" for North Carolina and the South, might be said to 

 have been "born with a rose in his buttonhole." He was able 

 as a schoolboy, to identify almost any rose by its foliage alone. 

 After several years in the South, with his excellent powers of 

 observation, we feel that he is well qualified to judge of the 

 roses that can be definitely depended upon for localities 

 corresponding to the west-central part of North Carolina.
