tion of the rose.” — Standard . 
“We have great pleasure in thoroughly recommending to our readers 
Mr. Hibberd’s ‘ Rose Book.* It is written by one who has fully mastered tho 
subject, and the directions l\e gives are of that practical utility so much 
needed .”— Journal of Horticulture . 
“Mr. Hibberd writes in such a clear, practical, common sense way, that wo 
do not hesitate to affirm that it is the amateur’s own fault if he fail to profit 
largely by his study of the rose book. Every rose grower should possess it. It is 
an elegant volume. The coloured illustrations are beautiful .” — Literary World, 
“ The work is eminently clear, earnest, and instructive. Every idea, plan, 
and notion of propagation and growing roses appears to be touched upon. A 
perusal of Mr. Hibberd’s pages will not only assist the amateur grower, but 
will also prevent many disappointments.” — Lloyd's Weekly News.

of being as useful to the amateur of small as of large means .” — Leeds Mercury .
