Introduction 



e^ J» > 



UNDER this heading we offer, after careful test, all the new Roses introduced during the 

 past few years up to 1903. These varieties in most instances are the result of scientific 

 hybridization, and represent the brains and skill of the most celebrated Rosarians of 

 both this country and Europe. Among these will be found novelties of rare merit which cannot 

 be had elsewhere. From all quarters of the globe they have been collected and their culture 

 has been given our special care. 



Heretofore the demand has been greater than the supply, but we have been successful in 

 growing a splendid supply for this season's trade. A professional grower looking through the 

 trial grounds where a complete collection of these is planted, remarked that '' if the public knew 

 how magnificent these Roses are, you wouldn't be able to supply one-fifth of the demand." If 

 you have any misgivings as to their beauty and merit, set such aside and give some of the New 

 Roses a trial Their remarkable beauty, form and color effects will astonish you. 



l^/^' I ^T/'^Th — Quite a few of the most beautiful of the newer xloses have been given names so 



____^'* unpronounceable as to cause the average person to sigh with desperation. Not 



infrequently a Rose of unusual merit is given a name that does it a positive 

 injustice. In their native countries these names may have a reasonable significance, but here with us there 

 IS no excuse for them ; therefore we have decided to give our customers the privilege of either ordering by 

 number or name, just as they prefer. We think it will simplify ordering and prove a great convenience 

 to the buyer. Whether ordering by name or number, all plants will be sent with their proper names 

 attached. Bear this in mind. After the name of each varietv we give name of introducer.
