EXPERT OPINIONS 77 



Selections for Special Sections of the 

 United States of America 



Those of our readers who live in the more thickly settled 

 sections of our country will recognize, in the following, our 

 dependence upon the modern scientific method of learning 

 the "best roses" for certain localities, i.e. the method of 

 actually testing them. We have had the good fortune to 

 visit personally and to know the rose experts in many sec- 

 tions, and they severally have been so kind as to give us the 

 benefit of their valuable experience, each in the form of a 

 list of roses they have found to thrive. We stand back of 

 these recommendations. Other lists which we offer of roses 

 best adapted for various purposes are bound to prove help- 

 ful as well as suggestive. (See pages 64 to 76.)
