Twelve "Be^ Yet" ^ Roses 



In selecting the best Roses, there are so many qualities to be 

 considered that it requires a large collection and unusual opportuni- 

 ties to watch and study them under every possible condition they 

 are likely to encounter. We have been fortunate in having unusual 

 facilities for this experimental work. FurthermorCj our observation 

 extends over a long period of years, during which, each season, we 

 have obtained and tried out all new sorts of promise, and thus aim 

 to have the best obtainable constantly on trial. We also travel 

 extensively and visit Rose gardens in many states of the Union. We 

 have drawn regularly upon the published experiences of other de- 

 pendable Rose-lovers — which to a remarkable degree confirm our 

 own conclusions. 



To pass our severe test a Rose must prove itself a vigorous grower 

 and abundant bloomer, and must also excel its rivals in size, color, 

 form, fragrance and habit. 



So many friends ask us to select their Roses that we believe they 

 must have read Pemberton's advice: "State your requirements to a 

 friend who is an expert and leave the selection to him." These six 

 pages answer your questions before you ask them. They save you 

 the expense of experiments, and if you do your part you can count 

 on a glory of good bloom. This is our 19 13 Best Yet Set.
