WEST GROVE, PENNSYLVANIA 



Spring, 1962 



LyacLt rtUna.: 



Here's a little story which will serve to point up the value and importance of 

 experience. Although it is an agricultural story, its moral would apply to any field, 

 as you will see. 



"Your methods of cultivation are hopelessly out of date," said the young 

 agricultural college graduate to the old farmer. "Why, I'd be astonished if you 

 get even ten pounds of apples from that tree." 



"So would I," replied the farmer. "It's a pear tree." 



The trouble, it seems to me, with "book learning" alone is that it suffers from lack of practical experience. The fault 

 in experience alone is that it is limited by circumstance. Put the two together and you have true knowledge. 



Here in the rose growing business, we've read many books and talked with the men at the various agricultural ex- 

 periment stations who wrote them. We've also picked up a certain amount of practical experience in our daily work 

 with roses over a 65-year period. Our experience has helped the experimenters — and their findings have helped us. 

 The result of this practical building and application of knowledge here at West Grove benefits you wherever you live ; 

 for when you plant a Star Rose, you plant a rose which, I believe, is unsurpassed in quality anywhere in the whole, wide 

 world. 



With best wishes for your gardening pleasure, I am 



Sincerely,
