Flower Grower's Story of All-America Roses 
for kvery American Garden 
7 * 
Suppose a friend came to you and 
said: “I have a few hours a week, a 
house with a little plot of ground that’s 
sunny every day. I want to start out 
by spending perhaps ten or fifteen 
dollars. I’m looking for more than a 
hobby—a real interest, a real love— 
something that’s as much beauty, or as 
much science, or as much an art of my own hands as I 
want to make it. What shall I do?” 
Most likely you’d say, “Grow roses!” For you know that 
American families buy twenty million rose plants a year 
... and enjoy roses from February (in Southern California) 
or May (almost anywhere) until December. Most likely, 
too, you’d say, “Start with a couple of All-America roses 
. . they’re tested for easy growing but so wonderful that 
experts love them. Get a simple dust-gun for less than a 
dollar, some complete plant food ... and you’re in roses!” 
Here are answers to questions your friends may ask you: 
@ All-America Roses, with a tag similar to the one shown 
at upper left, can be obtained by mail from many rose 
companies and nurseries. Local nurseries, garden stores 
and department stores also sell them. 
@ Garden clubs or other adult groups may obtain a 
16 mm color-and-sound motion picture, All-America Roses 
(covering display gardens, landscaping ideas, arrange- 
ments, and closeups of scores of roses) without charge.

eA small, illustrated eight-page pamphlet, “Beautify 
America With Roses” is available free of charge from 
FLowerR Grower (2049 Grand Central Terminal Bldg.,

of roses for home-ground use, cutting suggestions, feeding, 
spraying, and winter protection, as well as a listing of all
