This is Rios Silvestres, in the beautiful 
Brown Valley of California’s Santa 
Cruz Mountains. Here, all around, 1s 

beauty enough to satisfy all who truly 


love Nature; here, too, are the Old- 
Fashioned Roses, Campanulas and many choice perennials—not in nursery rows but planted 
in the spots they prefer, to add their welcome when you visit us. 
‘Roses of 
Yesterday 
(ampanulas and ‘Rare Plants 
of Today 
No flower in history is linked so intimately with human affairs as the Rose. In 
peace or war, in joy or sorrow, in king’s castle or cotter’s home, in religion 
and in art, the record of its influence appears in song and story. Undisputedly 
she has reigned as Queen of Flowers for more than twenty-five centuries ; 
today, as always, she is the treasured favorite of all who truly love gardens.
