Roses The Linn County Nurseries 

We have selected our list of varieties so it includes only the most satisfactory 
patented varieties, the old standbys, and newer varieties which are reported 
most satisfactory in the “Proof of the Pudding,” reports to the American Rose 
Society. These will give the most rose value per dollar spent for plants. Of 
the dozens of new varieties which are highly exploited each year by their in- 
troducers only a very few make good.
