In these days of retirement
to have hobby fills the extra
hours that otherwise might
become boring. There are
many kinds of hobbies today
but the one that John G. Dar-
by of Frederick chose brings
award in pleasure and one that
he shares with friends. His
rose garden of almost two hum
dred bushes is a thing of beau
ty these days and the time he
spends there is not duty but
that of real enjoyment. All
kinds, all colors, but mostly
large in size. the roses are al
most breath taking. The lush
green foliage is relieved by the
beautiful blossoms, on long,
long stems that could grace
any decor of any room. This
is good rose year and Mr..
Darby is taking much plea
sure in their profusion as he
shares them with friends and
neighbors.
