Van Fleet worked day after day for
nearly 20 years at Glenn Dale. He
made thousands of crosses by hand
and discarded thousands of seedlings
which did not seem to represent steps
in advance. All the time he was laying
the foundations for an American fam
lily of roses.
Before coming to Washington his
rose work had been concentrated on
the climbers. Upon the varieties
which he introduced in this field his
fame chiefly rests. Notable among
them is the DR.. Van Fleet pink
climber, which now can be found
spraying over half the new garages
and back porches in Washington.
Catalogues of the principal rose deal
crs describe it as one of the finest
climbing roses yet introduced in the
world.
DR.. Van Fleet once broke his GUS
tomary reticence regarding the his
tory of his creations and told the story

From the horticultural eX-
n pertinent station at Glenn
Dale, Md, just across the
District line in Prince Georges County,
the Department of Agriculture is
sues every year one or TWO choice
varieties which have been tested and
found not only of superior blooming
quality. but adapted to the peculiar
tiles of American climate. All these
are vigorous bush roses and climbers.
The development of greenhouse and
garden varieties is left to private horti-
cuturiSts.

Agriculture He came to Washington
and was assigned to work on a five
acre patch al Glenn Dale adjoining
the Foreign Plant Introduction Gar
den. There he remained for ihe lest
of his lite. except for a short period
with the department at Chico, Calf,
gradually shifting the emphasis of ,,is
work to rose culture.
The Government primary interest
was to determine the feasibility of
profitable production of altar of roses
in the United States.
This branch OF agriculture was
then, and still is, confined to South
ern France. the Balkans and Turkey.
Altar of roses is a volatile oil eX-
tracted from the petals of certain wild
varieties. 1t is used as a basis for
some of the most delicate perfumes,
but very little ever comes to the
United States in a pure state. 1t re-
quires approximately a ton and a half
of freshpicked rose petals to produce
a pound of the oil, which looks very
much like peanut butter.
AS a result of his first rose work for
the Government. Van Fleet reported
that the production of altar of roses
was perfectly feasible in this country
so far as physical limitations were
The required varieties
grew Justify and blossomed we'll. But
the enormous amount Of hand labor
required to pick the petals made the
business financially impossible, con-
the high American wages.
He did, however. urge that small
amount be produced here year after
year to serve as a standard for per-
fume manufacturers.
But the experiments with the rose
as drug plant had served only as
an opening wedge for the work to
which DIR. Van Fleet wished to de-
vote the rest of his life. A sincere
follower of Ruskin. he had been re

was a situation. DR.. Van Fleet be-

proper function of the Government.
He saw, as a notable step in this d.
rection. the need of producing roses

fields During the past four years
he has been building up his stock of
species roses. He now has a much
finer assortment of wild varieties than
was available to DIR. Van Fleet. Strain
after strain of new blood will be in
troduced into the current varieties in
an effort to achieve the ideal. Only
the surface of the highly complicated
technique of rose breeding has been
scratched in the United States up 10
the present.
The next of the Van Fleet roses
