STAR INDEX 100 "BEST ROSES" 



Until this publication, no attempt has ever been made, we believe, to do for the 

 amateur Rose-grower the service of study and rating that has helped the Iris-grower 

 and Peony "fan" to learn the comparative merits in the eyes of experts of his favorite 

 flower. Below follows the painstaking eff"ort to give such accurate information for 

 Roses. The arrangement in order of preference reflects the judgment of no one person 

 or group, but is a composite, gathered throughout all America, from qualified amateurs 

 and experts. No important source of information has been omitted or misapplied.
