NOTICES. 
“Mr. Ellwanger’s book is sternly practical. His directions are sharp and 
positive. Occasionally lie 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 botanical 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 description of the Roses in cultivation, with which the book closes, is the best yet 
given in this country. No amateur can afford to lie 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 
genealogical 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.
