After 35 years spent in developing the Setigera 
strain of hardy roses, Mr. M. H. Horvath, the fa¬ 
mous hybridizer, has entrusted to me the propaga¬ 
tion of the first of a new family of roses which are 
unique for garden planting. 
These roses are known as Dooryard Roses. When 
planted in the limited area about an entranceway, 
they give the maximum in the amount of bloom per 
square foot of space. The Dooryard Rose is also 
unique because it is “foolproof” in every way. It 
is completely hardy even at 20 degrees below zero; 
it is absolutely disease resistant to black spot and 
mildew; it blooms almost continuously with large 
blossoms which are the size of a hybrid tea rose; 
its numerous petals curl back; cactus-like, giving a 
superb effect. In color, the numerous flowers of this 
prolific rose are a charming, dawn-tint of pink. 
The Dooryard Rose is also characterized by its 
spreading habit of growth, on the order of a Pfitzer 
juniper. It attains a height of approximately 2 feet. 
It is sturdy in growth, producing stems that are 
practical for cutting purposes.

Because of the importance of these Dooryard 
Roses, I am announcing them now, although the 
first of this rose family will not be ready for de¬ 
livery until the fall of 1037. Orders for this first 
Dooryard Rose will be filled in the order of their, 
receipt. We also reserve the right to limit the 
quantity of Dooryard Roses which will be sold to 
any one customer.
