from “Hail and Farewell” in part, as follows . . . “We shall do our humble best to main- 
tain his high ideals of integrity and service; to keep love for the rose before profit, 
and to see that the charm and sentiment of the old-fashioned roses is not forgotten.” 
I look back over the efforts of the past seven difficult years and feel that the spirit 
of those simple words-has been maintained. 
We move into the future with the confidence which comes from experience, learned 
the hard way, and with greater admiration than ever for the charm and garden value of 
the old roses. We shall continue to sing their praises. 
For the hundreds of encouraging letters which come to us each season, again a warm 
thank-you, good friends, deep-down from all of us.
