SOM.E WORTH WHIILIE 

 MOSES 



ATHERINE Ziemet, I am sorry to say 

 so, but you are not worthy of a place 

 in our gardens. You have conclu- 

 sively proven that you never were a 

 good edging rose. I say this because of 

 your unlovely habit of producing 

 ragged, ru^y and faded flowers inter- 

 mingled with those ju^t coming into bloom, which 

 as a matter of course gives you a wholly shabby 

 and an unattracflive appearance. 

 ^ Then you develop from fourteen to twenty small, 

 white, shallow roses on each branch and at that, at 

 lea^ two- thirds of these are small and withered or 

 brown, when the remaining third are ju^ at their 

 be^t, these few fresh blooms being quite lo^ 

 among the many faded ones. This is why Katherine 

 Ziemet, you are not a good white border rose, 

 ill form, or habit, or flower.
