ROSES ON THE MANETTI STOCK. 
“ Considering that the Manetti has held its own for nearly half_a century, there can be no question of its merit or 
value asa stock. It was the Manetti that brought new life to the Rose, and with it begana new era in Rose growing. 
Weare indebted to this stock for the enormous increase in the cultivation of the Rose, and the commercial industry it 
has brought about. Amateurs who formerly grew only a few dozen Roses soon began to grow thousands.”—Joun 
CRansTon in The Garden, June 11, 1892.
