G athered in this section are the best of the novelties and a few older Roses which have not been 
widely disseminated and which will be novelties to many gardens. In these novelties and rare varie¬ 
ties you will find new combinations and blends of colors, new scents, variations in flower-form, and 
stronger, healthier and hardier plants. 
Not all of them will prove successful everywhere, but the advanced rosarian will find great pleasure in 
trying them out. The descriptions presented of patented Roses are those of the introducers. As we are 
only co-distributors of most of the patented varieties, we cannot be responsible for the descriptions or results 
obtained from these plants. 
The comments following the introducer’s descriptions of other varieties are our own; in these remarks 
we have endeavored to be fair and frank, to tell you our opinion of the Rose after studying it in our fields 
and test-garden. 
Varieties listed at $1 each are $2.50 for 3. Varieties listed at $1.25 each are $3.15 for 3. 
Varieties listed at $1.50 each are $3.75 for 3, of any one kind.
