The American Rose Annual, 1921 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The American Rose Annual, 1921Very grateful is the Editor for the courtesy of the Secretary of the National Rose Society of England, as well as for the help of our French friends, MM. Turbat and Siret.One regret the Editor expresses: that so small a percentage of the widespread membership of the Society responds with asked-for information and suggestions. Most interesting are the letters that do come, but the Editor feels that it would only be a fair recognition of the time and effort gladly spent on his part if many more rose friends would write in inquiry, in criticism, in suggestion, in helpful attention. Isn't the rose prosperity of America worth a letter and a stamp once a year?A "rose-note" may help another member past a hard spot. Our friends are especially urged to use promptly the enclosed mailing cards.The organization of the Society has been notably advanced in the establishment of the Secretary's office in Philadelphia. The "Members' Handbook" which follows the Annual, with various details and the complete membership list in alphabetical and in geographical forms, is an evidence of the increasing strength of the Society. This strength should increase materially in 1921 through the efforts of our members. The tradesmen whose announcements follow the text are all reliable, and their offerings are commended to our members.The tradesmen whose announcements follow the text are all reliable, and their offerings are commended to our members. It is hoped to present thus each year a practically complete list of the dependable rose merchants of America.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
