NOTICES. 



"Mr. Ellwanger's book is sternly practical. His directions are sharp and 

 positive. Occasionally he gives a sentence in italics which every rose grower should 

 learn by heart. The chapter on "Typical Roses" is especially valuable. This is 

 not a botanical classification, but a grouping together of certain families of larger 

 classes like the Hybrid Remontants, with an account of their striking characteristics. 

 Great pains have been taken to trace as far as possible the genealogy of famous var- 

 ieties, and the description of the Roses in cultivation, with which the book closes, is 

 the best yet given in this country. No amateur can afford to be without this list, and 

 another one whic] ' precedes it where all the best varieties are classified according to 

 their value for bedding, forcing, exhibiting, autumn-bloom and other special pur- 

 poses, as well as for certain qualities such as hardiness and fragrance." — New York 

 Tribune. . 



"Its classification for various purposes will be very us6ful. Its historical and 

 genealogical record is interesting, confirming as it does the fact, that good children 

 come from good parents. Your Rose book will receive a hearty welcome, and have 

 an extensive circulation." — Marshall P. Wilder.
