PROVIDE NEW THRILLS FOR NEW ENTHUSIASTS 
OSE hybridists are ever at work endeavoring to produce new 
and better Roses. All 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.
