APPENDIX. 



PUBLICATIONS OTT THE EOSE. 



In the preface to this book I stated my belief 

 that no compilation on the rose could ever be 

 considered complete and final. I have endeav- 

 ored to bring before those interested in the sub- 

 ject many points of interest which have been 

 ignored, or lightly touched upon, by authors of 

 kindred works ; I have also desired to present all 

 the information necessary to the successful culti- 

 vation of the rose, exemplified in different ways. 

 1 feel, however, that it is but just to my readers, 

 and my brethren of the craft, to record those 

 publications which are useful compilations on this 

 subject. First of all, and above all, let me rec- 

 ommend ^' A Book about Koses," by S. Rey- 

 nolds Hole ; Wm. Blackwood & Sons, publishers. 

 This book of 322 pages is a charming compilation 

 by a gifted writer, who, though in one sense an 

 amateur, has perhaps done more to further the 

 growing of beautiful roses than any other man.
