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,
