NOVELTIES AND SCARCE ROSES 
Most of the Roses described in this section are new, and with few exceptions have not been catalogued 
before by us. In some cases the date of introduction indicates that they are older Roses whose true worth 
was not discovered until recently. 
When an amateur Rose-grower has ceased to be a beginner, he has little interest in growing Roses just 
because everybody else in the world can succeed with them. He wants to pit his skill against more difficult 
things; to grow Roses of supreme beauty regardless of other defects; to peer into the future; to guess what 
marvels are hidden in the centuries to come—marvels just hinted at by the glimpses he gets from the latest 
introductions of the great hybridizers; and to discern the tendencies that lie in them. 
We pay Parcel Post or Express charges in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains on 
all dormant Roses ordered before April 15
