“HOW TO GROW ROSES” 
HOW TO GROW 
ROSES 
By ROBERT 
PYLE 
—————— i————§—i^———————————— President American Rose Society 
A cloth-bound book, 121 pages—16 full-page color plates. 80 instructive illustrations 
If you simply wanted something to read, without any idea of getting instruction about growing Roses, 
you might turn to this book and be delightfully entertained for an hour or so. In this way, it is an unusual 
Rose book; for in it you will find how the famous “attar of Roses” is made, how to make Rose beads, some¬ 
thing about “the Red Rose Church” at Manheim, and also about the most beautiful Rose-garden in the world. 
To a lover of Roses, there is more than this; for a beginner is told how to begin, how to establish ideals, 
and get started right; after which comes the valuable “Calendar of Operations,” telling when and how to 
prune, spray, fertilize, and otherwise care for Roses the year round. There is a chapter on “Where to Plant 
Roses,” and others on drainage, soil, and fertilizers. You are told how to handle the plants when you receive 
them and the best way to mulch and protect them during the winter. Further on is a most valuable list of 
Roses, with instructions for pruning each one. The book ends with a list of “Roses Arranged 
in Classes,” valuable to any lover of “The Queen of Flowers.” Price, $1, postpaid.

“THE MOST VALUABLE WORK ON 
ROSES” 
I have read “How to Grow Roses” 
twice and consider it the most valuable 
work on Roses for America ever sent out. 
Its construction is admirable and shows 
thought and wisdom. The calendar gives 
valuable instructions in a nut shell and 
your cuts on drainage, pruning, etc., are 
just right. The whole work is admirable 
and you should be proud of it. 
Sincerely yours,

INSURE SUCCESS 
I have your book “How to Grow Roses” 
and by following instructions as to cover¬ 
ing, I saved nearly all of my Roses (I have 
75); at least 50 are Teas or Hybrid Teas, 
and the thermometer went down to 21 
degrees below zero so you can see I am 
proud of my strong plants. This is my 
fifth year’s purchase from your firm, and 
I’m well pleased.—Mrs. W. M. B. f St.

DEPARTMENT OF FLORICULTURE 
I wish to take this opportunity to thank 
you for the copy of “How to Grow Roses.” 
I have analysed the book carefully and I 
was amazed at the way you put all your 
information on this wonderful flower into 
such a small volume. It is certainly a 
creditable piece of work and by far the 
most practical treatise on the subject that 
has come to my notice. 
Sincerely yours, 
Prof. Arno H. Nehrling, 
Massachusetts Agricultural College. 
If one man and his wife elect to create and maintain a Rose garden such as this for their family and friends, why should others not follow 
their good example? Your own public park could double and treble its present popularity by growing Roses. We can prove it by those 
who have tried. If you wish more information, write us about this.
