PEACE—THE “‘MASTER RosB”’ 
@ohe ©XGewer GRoses 
“It is our endeavour to give a thorough trial to every new Rose 
of promise, and to place before the Rose enthusiast a tested select- 
ion of those which appear to us to be an improvement on existing 
sorts—thereby, we trust, saving him time, space and money which 
can so easily be spent on worthless varieties.”

Sometimes we hear it said—‘‘Why pay these patent prices for the 
new hybrid teas—there are just as good roses in the $1.25 class.” 
Superior beauty and performance are the supreme test, and no rose 
has to be a patented variety to be offered by us. 
There are strong factors, however, working successfully to im- 
prove the hybrid tea strain. Rose-lore grows apace. The best hybrid- 
ists of all-time, are hard at work, breeding improved vigor, a more 
profuse and ever-flowering habit, greater hardiness, more lasting 
blooms, and new color tones, not found in the older hybrid tea 
varieties.
