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.
