ROSES 
NEW HYBRID PATENTED TEA ROSES 
On May 23, 1930, President Hoover signed the Townsend-Purnell Act which so amended 
the patent laws as to make all newly developed plants patentable the same as any mechanical 
device or method. Hence the right of propagation of all the new patented varieties is 
controlled exclusively by the originator as is the right of sale and the selling price. 
The roses listed below, as well as a few of the other plants throughout the catalog, 
represent the finest of the new patented varieties, and are guaranteed unique in that they 
have merited the right of patent.
