“Best Roses for America” 
- We judge Roses just like you do—by their per- 
formance. When we select a list of the Best Roses 
for America we have this great advantage, not 
only do we have here for daily observation, threugh- 
out the year, literally acres of Roses in every 
worthwhile kind, which we observe critically 
and constantly, but we also enjoy the rare advantage 
of hearing from our customers and friends in every 
state. They tell us their likes and dislikes. Espe- 
cially reliable is the tally of sales. It is like a ba- 
rometer for each kind—demand goes up or down 
depending upon likes and dislikes among the newer 
kinds. In all these ways the splendid reliable sorts 
emerge to the top and are put in this standard list 
because they have performed and pleased others. We 
have eliminated the unfit—we have made it safe for 
you to make any selection you fancy from this list 
of Reliable Standard Kinds.
