NOTICES. 
Mr. Ellw anger’s book is sternly practical. His directions are sharp and posi¬ 
tive. Occasionally he gives a sentence in italics which every rose grower should learn 
by heart. . The chapter on “Typical Roses ” is especially valuable. This is not a botani- 
cal classification, but a grouping together of certain families of larger classes like the 
Hybrid Remontants, with an account of their striking characteristics. Great pains have 
been taken to trace as far as. possible the genealogy of famous varieties, and the descrip¬ 
tion of the Roses in cultivation, with which the book closes, is the best yet given in this 
country. No amateur can afford to be without this list, and another one which precedes 
it where all the best varieties are classified according to their value for bedding, forcing, 
exhibiting, autumn-bloom and other special purposes, as well as for certain qualities such 
as hardiness and fragrance .” — New York Tribune. 
“ Its classification for various purposes will be very useful. Its historical and gene¬ 
alogical record is interesting, confirming as it does the fact, that good children come from 
good parents. Your Rose book will receive a hearty welcome, and have an extensive 
circulation .”—Marshall P. Wilder.
