" One of the readiest and most complete manuals published on the cultiva- 

 tion of the rose." — Standard. 



"We have great pleasure in thoroughly recommending to our readers 

 Mr. Hibberd's ' Rose Book.' It is written by one who has fully mastered the 

 subject, and the directions he gives are of that practical utility so much 

 needed." — Journal of Horticulture. 



"Mr. Hibberd writes in such a clear, practical, common sense way, that we 

 do not hesitate to affirm that it is the amateur's own fault if he fail to profit 

 largely by his study of the rose book. Every rose grower should possess it. It is 

 an elegant volume. The coloured illustrations are beautiful." — Literary World. 



" The work is eminently clear, earnest, and instructive. Every idea, plan, 

 and notion of propagation and growing roses appears to be touched upon. A 

 perusal of Mr. Hibberd's pages will not only assist the amateur grower, but 

 will also prevent many disappointments." — Lloyd's Weekly News. 



" It is a sound practical work,brimful of excellent advice,and possesses the merit 

 of being as useful to the amateur of small as of large means." — Leeds Mercury.
