This work has caused a sensation among rose growers, amateurs and
professionals. In the most practical and easily understood way the reader
is told just how to propagate roses by the three principal methods of
cutting, budding and grafting. There are a number of pages in which the
complete list of the best roses for our climate with their
characteristics are presented. One prominent rose grower said that these
pages were worth their weight in gold to him. The official bulletin of
the Garden Club of America said:--"It is a book one must have." It is in
fact in every sense practical, stimulating, and suggestive.
