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.
