PEACE—THE ‘‘MasTER Ross” 
| @ohe QNsewer 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.
