ROSE ANNUAL OUT. 



Tlic .11»L'- Aiiiciicaii Kosf Annual, 

 wliicli is just htiii^ iiuiilcd out, includes 

 ]!»2 ]>!iK<'f< <»f text, plus sixtfcn inserted 

 sepi.-i I'lutcs ;ind two color jilates, the 

 frontis]iiece liciny- a (l()nl)lt'siy.t'd plate 

 of a lose, not yet int roduet'd. 



Inasmuch as tlic nuMiibers of the so- 

 ciety make tlie American Hose Annual 

 by their cont riluitions and experience, 

 it closely retlccts the yrowiufj; rose spirit 

 ol' America. Jn Ht-'l' there are sonic out- 

 standing features. Three articles on 

 l)ackyar<l rose gardens, bej-inning on 

 l)age'.S:2, tell the story of success under 

 unfavorable conditions. A symposium, 

 ])articipated in by all the important rose 

 liybridi/.ers of America and by many 

 amateurs, tries to answer the question, 

 "What New Koses Does America 

 Need?" 



"Kxjterience and Possibilities in 

 Local Kose Shows'" is the subject of 

 four articles beginning on page 60. The 

 prejiaration of the soil in which roses 

 are to prosper has been discussed by two 

 authorities, and there is also an inter- 

 esting suggestion as to a clearing house 

 for rose information. 



Resiionding to many requests, there is 

 ]>resented a complete comiiendium of in- 

 formation concerning insects and dis- 

 eases that bother roses, probably the 

 best and most useful information of the 

 sort ever jirovided in America. 



Reports of the society's test gardens, 

 observations concerning roses abroad, 

 an accur.ate list of all the new roses of 

 all the world, an intelligent account of 

 the new English roses by the secretary 

 of the National Rose Society of Eng- 

 land, and a thoughtful survey of the 

 rose cut-tlower situation, carry on the 

 breadth of the book. There are, as well, 

 many interesting rose notes provided by 

 the members, and a dozen or more ad- 

 ditional articles, all original and all 

 forceful. The life and work of Amer- 

 ica's greatest rosarian and plant hy- 

 l)ridizer. Pr. Walter Van Fleet, are pre- 

 sented in a symposium of appreciation. 

 One of the authoritative features in 

 the book is the list of American roses, 

 covering considerably more than a cen- 

 tury of observation, and cross-indexed, 

 so as to be both convenient and informa- 

 tive. It even takes account of the Mary 

 Washington rose, which is said to be a 

 rose raised from seed by George W^ash- 

 ington at Mount Vernon, and by him 

 named in honor of liis mother. 



One of the color plates is of a lovely 

 rose which, thougli raised near Phila- 

 delphia, has recently received three gold 

 medals at the closely contested test con- 

 ducted at Portland. Ore. 



The annual is tlioroughlv indexed. 



LARGE POSSIBILITIES. 



The possibilities in the wholesale 

 plant liusiness are greater than most 

 florists appreciate. This is a large coun- 

 try and over great sections of it the 

 demand for plants exceeds the florists' 

 facilities for jiropagnt ion. The result 

 is that a large business awaits those 

 who grow good stock and offer it in the 

 Classified section of The Review. Like 

 this: 



I'lc.Tse rliiiiipc my nd sis fnclnsoil. I am senrl- 

 iiiK checks liiick because 1 did not expect this 

 demand and did not prepare onoiich stork. — 11. J. 

 rutomkin, Miincie, Ind., March 18, 1922. 



If you hear a man complain of the 

 cost of advertising, you can be pretty 

 certain he spends a good bit of money 

 elsewhere than in The Review.
