N praise of the Rose nothing new or important remains to be said. No flower will ever supersede it in popular 
estimation— not even the Orchid, so often counted as its rival. Our position as the largest commercial Orchid 
growers in America is well known, yet we affirm that one flower is as fair as the other, each having a distinctive 
beauty all its own. At Rose Hill Nurseries the "Queen of Flowers" receives attention equally with Palms, 
Orchids and Ferns. We grow immense quantities for cut blooms, and test carefully all the sorts offered, retaining only 
those that pass the crucial trial of the New York rose-buying public, which quickly rejects anything not up to a high 
standard in color, form and fragrance. We also have carefully grown plants of the many superb hardy Roses without 
which no place, however small, is complete. 
We are growing, and will probably have ready to offer next spring, some very remarkable new Roses, a prelimi- 
nary mention of which wilt be found on page ii.
