The War is Over—Reconversion is at Hand—America is Hitting Her Stride—Beautify Your Garden for 
Peacetime Enjoyment 
While food is yet essential, those of you who are changing from vegetables to flowers will find growing Roses a most 
pleasant and inspiring recreation. From early June until frost their endless pageantry of color, fragrance and form, en- 
trance the inmost recesses of our souls to give courage and perseverance to carry out a sacred task which is before us. 
Many Roses which succeed in the North and other parts of the country do not do so well in Kentucky. Almost every 
Rose listed has been tested on our grounds and proved scitisfactory and dependable. We have discarded or do not carry 
many which will be described favorably in other lists. Why id money and time on doubtful kinds when you can buy our 
proved Roses? If properly sprayed and cultivated during Summer, protected over winter, you will find a planting of Roses 
one of the most satisfactory expenditures for your garden. 
There are more than 2000 Roses in general cultivation, » list any large percentages of these would be out of the 
question. The list which follows is the result of our tests resents the “Cream of the Crop.’” Plant any of them with
