GA Zsa ROSES 
Here we offer what we consider to be the very best of the newer introductions. Those 
marked with the symbol a deserve a special word, for they have been winners in the All- 
America competition. This method of testing new Roses before they are offered to the public 
has been of great value to all concerned. In six demonstration and twenty official test gar- 
dens in all sections of the country, with a wide variation in soil and climate, the new Roses are 
tested and judged by experts. 
Not only color but hardiness, disease resistance and many 
other important qualities are given full consideration. Under these conditions only the very 
best of the new Roses receive an award. The e) symbol is a badge of merit pointing out 
these prize-winners.
