This work is respectfully dedicated T o him the rosarians of
America are indebted for the dissemination of much knowledge
concerning thc Rose as adapted to American culthre, and its
commercial possibilities. To him, also, we are indebted for many
varieties resulting froin his ski11 and years of patient labor and
experiment in hybridization, among them, Souvenir of Wootten, the
first Hybrid Tea Rose raised in America, Marion Dingee, Annie Cook,
Mrs. Robert Garrett, BaItirnore, Enchanter, Cardinal, Madonna, My
Mary land, and Radiance, some of which have become staples in the
underglass. production of Roses for the requirements of the great
flower markets. The liberality with which his knowledge, obtained
at the expense of countless experiments and failures, has always
been placed at thc service of others, has endeared him to all
folIowers of his craft, one which, more than any other, demands the
acme of patience and self-sacrifice in order to accomplish Iasting
results. The lyfe so short, the craft so long to lerne.
