DEUTZIA PRIDE OF ROCHESTER 
HOW NEW VARIETIES ARE BORN 
We hope that many of our garden friends have read David Fairchild's book ‘The 
World Was My Garden”, reminiscenses of a famous plant explorer. The Division of 
Plant Introduction, U. S. Department of Agriculture, counts Dr. Fairchild as one of its 
earliest and prominent plant explorers. They have carried on his good work through 
the years. 
Each year the plant introduction people offer the nurseries of America the oppor- 
tunity for trial plantings of recent introductions of world-wide origin. We are fortun- 
ate in being one of the chosen few having this opportunity. Of the extensive annual 
listing we select those that appear to have real merit. These plants are received in 
spring and set out in our extensive grounds, carefully labeled, and observed for the 
characteristics that will make them useful additions to your gardens. 
Those meeting rigid requirements are propagated and as soon as sufficient stock 
is available, offered for sale to our customers. Through actual trial in our nursery 
“laboratory’’ we are able to judge their best adaptation to your garden.
