NEW ROSE WM. R. SMITH 



(AS SHOWN ON FRONT COVER) 



A VIGOROUS HEALTHY GROWER 

 EXCELLENT IN QUALITY— BOUNTIFUL IN BLOOM 



Whether you live East, West, North or South, 

 whether you wish one Rose or 1000, here is a Rose 

 which has our unqualified endorsement. 



It will thrive abundantly in almost any reason- 

 able location. The flowers are large, full and 

 double and most exquisitely formed. The petals 

 are so firm they look like wax, softly curled, colored 

 cream with flesh tint tips, buff yellow base and 

 the center a heart of pink. Perfect buds. The 

 flowers are borne on long, strong stems, just right 

 for making bouquets. Fragrance is delightful. 



You will admire the foliage too, deep green 

 leaves on red stems and the new growth of rich 

 garnet; the plant will grow for you vigorously, is 

 among the hardiest in this class and blooms 

 abundantly.

 Dear Sir: — Replying to your letter of September 17th 

 regarding the securing of roses for use in the Philippines, I 

 would suggest that you correspond with the Conard & Jones 

 Company, West Grove, Pa. This firm makes a specialty of 

 all kinds of roses and I think would be in position to both 

 advise and furnish you with the plants at a very moderate 

 price. (Signed) for the Bureau of Plant Industry.
