HE WHO LIVES WITH FLOWERS ENJOYS A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE 
At the Horticultural Society of New York’s Thirty-first Fall Show on November 10, 1938, the largest exhibit 
in the show was from the garden of Samuel Untermeyer,-famous lawyer, who is a great lover of flowers. 
When asked by a reporter, “What would you do without your flowers?” he replied, “Were it not for my flowers, 
I would not be here.” 
F rom the many new varieties produced all over the country, we select, each year, after ex¬ 
haustive trials, a few which we consider the best. Some of these newer Roses do not make 
their normal growth nor attain full perfection of flower until the second year, and where 
descriptions seem misleading, it might be well to withhold judgment until the second year. 
The descriptions of Patented Roses are those of the introducers, and since we are only co- 
distributors of most of them, we are not responsible for their descriptions.
