FRONT COVER ROSE 
* MME. HENRI GUILLOT. H.T. (Mallerin.) 
Plant Pat. 337. One noted judge of Roses wrote 
*““The top Rose with us has been Mme. HENRI 
GuILLot—not only by actual judges’ scores 
but by the unanimous acclaim of visitors 
through the summer.”’ 
Visitors to our gardens are also enthusiastic 
about the beauty of this Rose with its large, 
firm petals which gradually unfold, first to urn 
shape, then to the form of an immense, 25-petaled 
camellia of shining raspberry to watermelon- 
pink color, each richly fragrant flower held erect 
and fine for cutting. $1.25 ea.; 3 for $3.15.i 
* BOUDOIR. H.T. (F. Meilland.) Two-tone 
satiny white and Tyrian rose. A most unusual 
flower with luxurious coloring, the backs of the 
petals satiny white In striking contrast to the 
solid rich Tyrian rose color on the inside of the 
flower which, with its 60 petals, never shows the 
center. The great fragrant blooms come on rigid, 
upright stems. The firm petals reef back slowly 
so the contrasting outside and inside colors are 
shown at the same time. A decided novelty, 
reminiscent of a rich gown worn in a pageant. 
$1.50 ea.; 3 for $3.75.*

To Rose Lovers: July 4, 1942. 
The American Flag! A Map of the United States of 
America! The Pictures of Men Who Have Made Rose 
History—these look down from the walls of my office. 
Beyond these office walls and far beyond the Rose- 
garden outside on this Independence Day, I picture men I 
know marching in parades, others training to join the AEF 
overseas, while mothers, sisters and some very recent 
wives remain to bear heavier burdens, in factory, office or 
home—longer hours, less freedom, more work—What 
a World! 
Again my mind travels west across America, past Star 
Rose friends in every state, beyond Pearl Harbor, across 
Asia where other friends have their stations—to Europe 
and her countries bathed in blood. 
How often during the past thirty-five years have I stood 
among acres of Roses in every one of ten leading Nations 
from Italy and Spain to Denmark, from Belfast to Berlin, 
with men whose Roses were their livelihood. With them 
was discussed, as we examined their most promising un- 
named kinds, their achievements and their hopes—and 
War. To each of them War was an ugly monster, hated 
and feared. Their Roses were their love, their solace and 
delight. What enthusiasms those Roses kindled! 
Working with Roses, I think, may have changed those 
men. What kindly, likable, fine-hearted qualities they had! 
Where are they today? Their Roses to them were their 
fortunes—now mostly lost, except—-———-? 
Except for the fact that what they shared with us, they 
saved—the pick of the new ones. Just before the storm 
broke I visited them and in my personal baggage brought 
home the cream of Europe’s finest Rose Novelties. 
Today, with the help of women in our nursery, we are 
conserving these, and after extensive tests hand them 
out to you. 
Art galleries and museums, to avoid possible destruction, 
are hiding in vaults their treasures and gems. New Roses 
equally precious cannot be stored. They must be used. 
They are ‘“‘Nature’s Art Treasures,’’ which during this terri- 
ble War speak to us a language that all may understand. 
Today’s demands on flesh and blood seem merciless, 
but endurance has its limits—you must have periods for 
rest. The heart knows that, and then again you must go 
on and on. 
If you would make the most of your rest periods, if you 
would be restored to go cheerfully on, during your periods 
of relaxation—have Roses. Their fragrance will help you 
to forget things less lovely, their forms and tones will 
reveal the heart of a Maker whose bit of a masterpiece of 
beauty assures us that the 
“‘soul of things is sweet.”
