Description
Excerpt from The American Rose Annual: The 1919 Year-Book of Rose Progress
Roses seem to incite always the effort to improve, for all the nations, all the writers, are trying for better roses, to serve the better world we are now to make.
While the Editor has prepared this 1919 Annual under the peculiar handicap Of service in Washington, - where he has been heeding the call Of Uncle Sam for many busy months, - he believes the rose-presentation has not suffered in consequence, simply and only because his rose friends have done unusually well their bit in patriotic as well as in capable helpfulness. His thanks to them are at the same time a congratulation upon the result - their result.
In this Annual the record features begun in the first issue, that for 1916, have been continued and amplified. Perhaps the statistical form of presenting rose records, though undoubtedly compact, is less desirable than the chatty and narrative form? Only the readers Of the Annual can decide!
