OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



them to any great extent because we have always 

 been satisfied with Dicksons' stock, Dr. Robert 

 Huey having used it for over thirty years and we 

 also having tested it for nearly fifteen. 



Recently, as we have mentioned in "Propagation," 

 there have been some American firms who have 

 tried budding on Japanese Multiflora. We have 

 grown some of these plants for a number of years 

 past and have had very good success with them. 



In ordering from such growers the planter has the 

 advantage of securing stock more or less acclimated, 

 and does not run the risk of having the heat of the 

 steamers sprout plants directly imported; he is 

 dealing with firms close at hand and is also aiding 

 an American enterprise. 



We, therefore, suggest that when the desired varie- 

 ties may be secured, the same can be obtained from 

 the following growers, who are budding on the 

 Japanese Multiflora. There may be other firms 

 unknown to us who are using this stock, but at the 

 present time these budded plants may be secured 

 from George H. Peterson, Fairlawn, N. J.; Henry 

 A. Dreer, Inc., Riverton, N. J.; Bobbink & Atkins, 

 Rutherford, N. J. Peterson was the first to our 

 knowledge to grow it to any extent, and while it is 

 not mentioned in his catalogue as "Japanese Multi- 

 flora," we understand this is the stock used.
