We catalog this season a number of the newer roses which 
we recommend to rose lovers as well worthy of a trial in their 
gardens ; all of them are interesting and most of them are ex¬ 
tremely gorgeous in colors not seen in the older varieties. The 
proof of their value is reflected in a great wave of popularity 
indicated by the increasingly tremendous demand each season. 
We invite you to enter into the adventure of planting these new 
things and feel the thrill that 
greet you next spring.
