Q/n 



One of the greatest thrills of gardening is to 

 grow some of the newer varieties of Roses. New 

 shades and tints continue to appear and hybrid- 

 izers are constantly working for hardier, more 

 vigorous plants with more and more flowers. 

 Hybrid Teas used to be called "monthly bloom- 

 ing," for the blooms were somewhat intermittent. 

 The newer, more popular sorts 

 tend to bloom in constant suc- 

 cession: as some flowers fade, 

 others are opening, and a well- 

 grown plant will produce many 

 flowers each season. Even a 

 small Rose garden these days 

 should have some bloom at all 

 times from spring until hard 

 frost. 



Many Roses are introduced 

 each year but we offer only those that we 

 believe to be really superior.
