My 15 Years of 
Experience with Roses 
. . . are At Tour Service 
I became a Rose grower because, like 
you, I love Roses. Since I come from a family 
of nurserymen, it was only natural that I was 
sent to Ohio State University to complete the 
course in Horticulture, specializing in Flori¬ 
culture and Landscape Architecture. 
Melvin E. Wyant 
Rose Specialist 
Later I was fortunate in obtaining a position with the State as a nursery 
inspector, and for eleven years I was in charge of the State inspection work 
in the largest nursery district in the country. In this district a million Roses 
were raised yearly. From daily observation of nursery after nursery in this 
Rose growing district during this period I was able to gain valuable informa¬ 
tion about practical Rose growing. 
When the opportunity came for me to become a Rose grower for myself, 
it was only logical that I determined to avoid the many mistakes I had seen 
other nurserymen make, and to apply only those practices which I knew from 
actual observation were all important in the growing of perfect Roses. 
Since 1919, I have had fifteen years of experience in successfully growing 
fine Roses. In my nursery I grow Roses exclusively. They are my specialty 
because I love them, and instead of trying to grow too many Roses, I grow only 
the best varieties and restrict the total quantity to a point where superior 
quality can be maintained. These are grown only and primarily for the use 
of people who, because they also love Roses, want a Rose garden, large or small, 
in their own yards. 
If you have never planted any Wyant Roses, probably you do not know 
what it means to plant quality Roses grown by a specialist. In buying my 
Roses you are assured of getting Roses that will come up to your expectations 
and give satisfaction for years to come. To those who are my customers, I will 
appreciate your business again and I am sure that you will find that my Roses 
this year are as good, or better than ever before. No orders are too large, or 
too small, and your recommendations of my Roses to your neighbors and 
friends are appreciated. 
And remember, too, that my fifteen years of experience with Roses are 
at your service at all times.
