PROVIDE NEW THRILLS FOR NEW ENTHUSIASTS 
OSE hybridists are ever at work endeavoring to produce new and better Roses. AII Rose- 
lovers owe a debt of gratitude to these pioneers who are ever pushing on to new frontiers. 
New varieties should be considered the “spice’’ and ‘‘dessert”’ of Rose-growing. Standard 
kinds are the “‘entree,”’ 
but when you know exactly what a Radiance or Etoile de Hollande or 
President Herbert Hoover will do in your garden, then there are greater thrills ahead when 
planting a Rose not only with a new name but with a new plant habit, and better form and color. 
We know that most of our Novelties will be new acquaintances you will be glad to meet 
and keep.
