CANNON-BALLS OR ROSES—WHICH ? 
A Garden Is a Lovesome Thing 
God wot, 
Rose plot, fringed poof ferned grot , 
The veriest school of peace" . . . . 
And Schools of Peace we need, even throughout 
our own America. Because "National Ideals are 
as real as National Mountains. ” 
The Ideals hung in the sky before the youth of 
this generation forecast the events of the next. 
If enough of us cultivate the ARTS of PEACE 
successfully we will eventually displace all occa¬ 
sions for war. "Agriculture is mother of the Arts” 
—Rose-growing a fine art. 
We, as Rose-growers, backed by a half-cen¬ 
tury’s experience in doing one thing well, strive 
ROBERT PYLE, President ANTOINE WINTZER, Vice-President 
assiduously to maintain and develop all important 
sources of information and supply regarding new 
Roses. We have improved our facilities, both at 
West Grove and upon our plantation in the 
South, for producing our ideal, "The Best Roses 
for America.” 
Therefore, as devoted Rose-growers, the love 
we bear our country leads us to be glad that the 
work of our hands will bloom into beauti ful 
gardens, and that beautiful gardens surely will 
make for peace.
