To Our Customers, from Up Toward the Stars: 



June 18, 1947. 



This letter is being written on the American Overseas Airline Flag- 

 ship "Boston" at 7000 feet above the ocean as we wing our way for a 

 speedy trip that will land me in the Rose fields of Europe and take me 

 to International Rose Test Gardens which we thus inspect on both sides 

 of the Atlantic. Since 1911 we have regularly (wars permitting; made 

 successive trips into ten nations of Europe where we know personally 

 the leading growers and from whose product we select for further testing 

 in the U.S.A. before offering them to you. 



We want flower lovers to know about Star Roses — we believe it is 

 to their interest. Even a dozen or more years ago we had already spent 

 more than a million dollars in telling them. But this we long ago learned: 

 that as our product is excellent or even superior, our customers are the 

 first to recognize it and they are our best advertising medium as they 

 tell their neighbors of our excellence. We believe that is partly why the 

 demand for Star Roses, even from our small catalog, takes all the 

 plants, and more than we are able to grow. 



To have "The Best Roses for America" we must not only produce 

 well-grown plants but we must also grow the best kinds. By long years 

 of training, and adopting ever better methods, West Grove grown Roses 

 are recognized as "none better." 



While those well trained in growing are solidly on the job at West 

 Grove (come see our 350,000 Rose plants in full bloom), we must at 

 the same time make sure that when better varieties of Roses are to be 

 had, we shall be growing them. How can we be sure to select the best 

 unless we see them all? That is the reason that I am, right now, on my 

 way to find more new Roses, as we former- 

 ly found PEACE and other leaders. 



After all, the real test will come in 

 your garden. We aim to have our future 

 record exceed our past 50 years (see the 

 story on pages 2 and 3) so let your 

 garden have its share of the "Best-by- 

 Test Star Roses— The Best Roses for 

 America."
