There Is Great Joy in Store for Those 

 Who Grow Roses Successfully 



"After years of rose growing in places far 

 apart, I think it is not so much the soil and the 

 climate, as the care and skill of the cultivator 

 that wins success. " 



— Rev. F. Page Roberts, Ex-President 



National Rose Society of England 



/^UR life-long experience leads to the same conclusion. But most 

 ^-^ essential of all is a knowledge of when, where and how to apply 

 this "care and skill." 



To give that knowledge accurately in clear, convenient form is 

 the aim of this "Little Book About Roses."
