OUR ROSES 
Mrs. E. W. Berger 
To anyone who has carefully observed 
conditions, it is very evident that the 
people of Florida have, up to this time, 
not fully availed themselves of the won¬ 
derful opportunities that this state offers 
for growing beautiful flowers and all 
sorts of ornamentals. Manv native 
J 
flowering plants and shrubs are of re¬ 
markable beauty and can be used effect¬ 
ively in the garden or for landscape pur¬ 
poses. Many cultivated annuals, peren¬ 
nials and shrubs, do so well in Florida 
that gardeners are beginning, more and 
more, to realize the fine possibilities which 
these offer. 
The lover of flowers here in Florida is, 
however, especially fortunate in being 
able to grow that “Queen of Flowers,” 
the rose, in all its beauty and fragrance. 
For centuries the rose has been regarded 
as the peer of flowers and all will agree 
with Christina Rosetti when she sings: 
“The lily has an air, 
And the snowdrop a grace, 
And the sweetpea a way,
