Many thanks to you, our patrons and friends. 
Since 1941 we have been introducing many roses and 
experimenting on many others. 
Up to the present time, we have introduced the follow- 
ing roses: Pasadena Tournament, Climbing Pasadena 
Tournament, Lady Anne Kidwell, Red Sweetheart, Climbing 
Chris, Stone, Denny Boy, Honey, Sunset Climber, The 
Dazzler, Colin Kelly. Our experiments in the past two 
seasons have led us to understand and produce dozens 
of new varieties. Starting in January, 1956, we will again 
introduce roses that, we hope, all our rose-loving patrons 
will ask for—such names as: ‘“‘My Gal Joyce’, ‘‘Larry 
Boy,” ‘‘Wally Boy”’ and ‘“‘Morning Star,’’ which are already 
being produced in quantities to meet the demand. Also, 
many others, such as the two pictured on Page 9, are 
being produced at present. 
| would like to call your attention to the following 
statement: 
“Introducers as a whole have been proud to call 
all introductions of new roses as Inventions, or 
Originations. We only germinate a seed that has 
been cross-pollenized by us, or by a bee, and 
thus produce roses to our satisfaction. The good 
Lord himself ‘‘invented”’ the original rose, with 
its organs of pollen, stamen and the rest that 
goes with it. One only germinates seeds to pro- 
duce new color or a sturdier plant.”
