She Vlew World 
A rosebush was by Science reared, 
That never any war has feared, 
Since in this world which is the new, 
It has not changed its scarlet hue. 
For not a rose is battle-scarred, 
And of their beauty nothing marred, 
Like roses that are overseas, 
And men who met their destinies. 
Ah, yes, its roots in earth are free, 
And man has died that they may be, 
Untrammeled by the despot’s tread, 
And live in fear of him and dread! 
So may the rosebush symbolize, 
The greater glory here that lies, 
To bloom for man that he will find, 
The way to Peace the roses wind. 
Clarence Edward Heller. 
TO OUR ROSE FRIENDS 
It is time again and our pleasure to mail to you our annual booklet describing our roses. Several of the older varie- 
ties have been dropped to make room for some of the fine new introductions. 
We want to thank you for your patronage this last year and trust you have had a wonderful rose season. How 
we do enjoy the enthusiastic letters we have received and we would appreciate your telling us if you have had any disap- 
pointments. It is our aim to bring real enjoyment to you through our roses. 
We wish it were possible for each and everyone of you to see our fields of roses now, the middle of July. The roses 
range in height from two to five feet, depending upon the varieties, and are a mass of bloom, The exceptional vigor this 
year is due to growing on virgin soil. 
Please feel free to call on us at any time for help in planning or maintaining your rose garden. It was a great pleasure 
to us this year to have the opportunity of meeting so many of our out of state patrons. We hope to meet more of you this 
next year, and hear of the enjoyment you are having with roses. 
Cordially yours,

THE ALL AMERICA ROSE SELECTIONS 
The roses carrying this distinctive emblem are the most outstanding 
introductions of recent years. New introductions are being judged yearly 
in the twenty-one All American Rose Selection Test Gardens and the five 
demonstration gardens. 
The A.A.R.S. is an organization of nurserymen and hybridizers 
banded together for the specific purpose of selecting the best new intro- 
ductions each year. New varieties are sent to the test and demonstration 
gardens each year where they are tested for a period of two years. These 
roses are scored on thirteen basic points such as form, habit, disease resist- 
ance, etc. At the end of the two year trial period, if any of the roses have 
attained a high enough score and are worthy of introduction to the gen- 
eral public in the opinion of the judges, they are given the coveted All 
American Award. 
We are fortunate in having one of the twenty-one test gardens here 
on our growing grounds. You are cordially invited to visit it to preview 
the new roses of the next two years.
