AMLKICW PILLAR 



ANNA DE DILSBACH 



One Hundred and One Best Roses 



Loving Roses as we do; living among them and watching them 

 closely and constantly, under all sorts of conditions; having before 

 us reports upon Roses from every country on earth to which our 

 Roses go, and knowing, too, the Prize-Winners and kinds that have 

 pleased amateurs here and almost everywhere; watching the new 

 Roses as they "come out," testing all kinds and holding fast to 

 those which are good, — out of an experience like that has come our 

 choice of these loi Roses. See abbreviations explained, pages 15
