Excerpt from Old-Fashioned Roses The music of the laughing lip, the luster of the eye The childish faith in fairies, and Aladdin's magic ring The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief in everything; When life was like a story holding neither sob nor Sigh, In the golden olden glory of the days gone by.

Excerpt from The Book of Roses It is needless to eulogize the Rose. Poets from Anacreon and Sappho, and earlier than they, clown to our own times, have sung its praises; and yet the rose of Grecian and of Persian song, the rose of troubadours and minstrels, had no beauties so resplendent as those with which its offspring of the present day embellish our gardens. The "thirty sorts of rose," of which John Parkinson speaks in 1029, have multiplied to thousands. New races have been introduced from China, Persia, Hindostan, and our own country; and these, amalgamated with the older families by the art of the hybridist, have produced still other forms of surpassing variety and beauty. This multiplication and improvement are still in progress. The last two or three years have been prolific beyond precedent in new roses; and, with all regard for old favorites, it cannot be denied, that, while a few of the roses of our forefathers still hold their ground, the greater part are cast into the shade by the brilliant products of this generation.
