Novelty ROSES .- 
The following are all Monthly Bloomers. Novelty Climbers and Floribundas are 
listed with standard kinds in those groups in the last pages of this Catalog. 
A substantial increase has been made to this list this year, with the hope that most 
will prove worth while. Not all will stay with us long, but each variety has some special 
characteristic that recommends it for planting and trial. 
The public demand for new Roses with more vigor and disease-resistant qualities 
is increasing. Men who devote their time and money to the search for improvements 
are doing a splendid job. The fact that many of the new kinds do not stand up, or prove 
unworthy of the original tests, is not unexpected and they should not be unfairly con- 
demned. It is part of the risk of pioneering and does increase Rose knowledge and has 
improved the Rose lists considerably. 
Your part in buying, trying and criticizing these new kinds helps toward the improve- 
ments desired by everyone. You will find it stimulating and fascinating. You will, 
also, find it profitable, in the appearance of your garden, as well as a tonic to your spirit. 
Novelty Roses are priced individually, but substantial reductions are available, IF ORDERED
