CANNON-BALLS OR ROSES— WHICH? 



A Garden Is a Lovesome Thing 



God wot, 



Rose plot, fringed 



The veriest school 



And Schools of Peace we need, even throughout 

 our own America. Because "National Ideals are 

 as real as National Mountains."" 



The Ideals hung in the sky before the vouth of 

 this generation forecast the events of the next. 



If enough of us cultivate the ARTS of PEACE 

 successfully we will eventuallv displace all occa- 

 sions for war. "Agriculture is mother of the Arts" 

 — Rose-growing a fine art. 



We, as Rose-growers, backed by a half-cen- 

 tury's experience in doing one thing well, strive 



pool, ferned grot, 

 of peace" .... 



assiduously to maintain and develop all important 

 sources of information and supply regarding new 

 Roses. We have improved our facilities, both at 

 West Grove and upon our plantation in the 

 South, for producing our ideal, "The Best Roses 

 for America." 



Therefore, as devoted Rose-growers, the love 

 we bear our country leads us to be glad that the 

 work of our hands will bloom into beautiful 

 gardens, and that beautiful gardens surely will 

 make for peace.
