" What do you mean by such 

 an unusual proposition? 



""T\0 you give new rosebushes to take 



_L/ the place of all that do not grow or 

 bloom?" 



We certainly do. Or if you'd rather have 

 your money back you can have it for any 

 rose that doesn't grow or 

 bloom. 



So many people have been 

 writing to us asking questions 

 like these, and wanting iull 

 information about our offer, 

 that we give here the full 

 details of our new way of 

 selling roses. 



It is an unusual proposi- 

 tion for a rose-grower to 

 make, we admit, and it 

 means a great deal more 

 than any rose-offer you ever 

 heard of before. It means 

 good roses to start with. 

 The very fact that we offer 

 your money back shows that 

 they must be extraordinary. 



We know what we're 

 about. We haven't been 

 forty-eight years in this one 

 business of growing roses, for nothing. We 

 have been working with roses, studying roses, 

 growing roses, perfecting roses all these 

 years, and have made roses the one busi- 

 ness of our life, so that if there is one thing 

 that we know better than anything else, it 

 is roses. 



We have had experience enough to enable 

 us to know which roses produce the choicest 

 buds, which grow with the least care, which 

 are best for different localities, and which 

 are sure to bloom. 



Next, it means that you run no risk what- 

 ever. Whether you buy one rose or a 

 thousand, you lose absolutely nothing. 



Perhaps the uncertainty of roses growing 

 and blooming has kept you from reveling in 

 an abundance of this " queen of flowers " 

 up to this time. 



Now, you need not hesitate about ordering 

 all the roses you want. 



Not only does our proposition open the 

 way for you to transform your garden into a 

 veritable paradise of choicest blooming roses, 

 without risk, but it means a great deal to 

 us besides. 



As you will be freer to order roses by this 

 new way of buying them, it will give us a 

 chance to have the quality of our roses 

 tested everywhere, and as soon as people 

 find out C & J Roses are just as good as we 

 say, they will want more — a great many 

 more. 



Our stock is not confined to any one kind 

 of roses, but includes the choicest kinds of 

 every class, so that we have 



Roses for Every Purpose 



Beds, gardens, pathways, arbors, trellises, 

 archways, pergolas, porches, for hedges and 

 fences, for covering banks, stumps and stone 

 walls, for specimen plants and shrubbery 

 effects, for conservatories and greenhouses, 

 for cemeteries, for city, country, mountain 

 and seashore — roses for every imaginable 

 place — we tell you the kinds best suited for 

 each particular purpose, and the varieties 

 best adapted to your own locality. 



There are possibilities in your own yard 

 or garden that you never dreamed of. Get 

 good roses and you can transform it into 

 a bower of beauty. 



Bloom This Season 



While every rose we grow is guaranteed 

 to bloom, there are some kinds that we 

 know will also bloom the first season — we 

 are so sure of it that we have grouped them 

 into a list and will give you your money 

 back for any one that does not bloom 

 by October 15th. (This list of fifty roses 

 appears on pages 30 and 31 of our catalog.) 



This means that you can decide now to 

 have a rose bed and actually have it in full 

 bloom this summer without risk. 



Our large and varied assortment of roses 

 includes the best of all the old favorites — 

 Hybrid Perpetuals. Teas, Hybrid Teas, etc. 

 — such types as General Jacqueminot, 

 Duchess de Brabant, La France, and hun- 

 dreds of others. 



But that is by no means all we grow. New 

 roses of every class are being added to our 

 stock, whenever we can prove that they are 

 varieties of dependable quality — no others 

 gain admittance. Among the new roses are 

 such kinds as Etoile de France, Killarney,Frau 

 Karl Druschki, Madam Eugene Marlitt, etc. 



We are constantly experimenting with 

 new varieties, and have been testing them 

 for years, but they must all stand the rigid 

 quality-test which marks the difference be- 

 tween C & J Roses and other kinds. 



Own-root Roses 



We make a specialty of growing own-root 

 roses. They are almost invariably the best 

 kind to get — they require less watching, and 

 if an unusually severe winter should kill back 

 the top of an own-root rose, the true variety 

 will spring up from the root again as full as 

 ever, whereas a budded plant would have 

 been lost. Own-root roses give by far the 

 most general satisfaction, especially when 

 you get our strong, healthy, vigorous plants 

 to start with. 



Don't you want to have a successful rose- 

 garden this year ? There is positively noth- 

 ing to prevent it. A garden of roses is a 

 garden of fragrance and beauty, and a last- 

 ing joy for many years. 



Designs Furnished at Cost 



Our landscape department at this writing 

 is still open for a few more 

 engagements. Special at- 

 tention is given to making 

 plans and estimates for 

 complete rose gardens. If 

 interested write at once. 

 Entrance doors to this offer 

 close April 1st. 



How to Grow 

 Roses 



We have a valuable little 

 book "How to Grow 

 Roses," that should be in 

 the hands of every lover of 

 roses. It tells how to make 

 a success of rose growing — 

 gives suggestions of what 

 kinds to plant and where 

 to plant them ; how to care 

 for them; describes the 

 different classes; and 

 names many roses for special purposes. 



Our New Floral Guide 



not only lists the large variety of C & J 



Guaranteed Rcses and other plants, but it is 



distinctly practical and helpful in aiding you 



to select the 



right plants for 



your purpose, 



and in telling 



how to get the 



greatest satis- 



faction and 



pleasure out of 



them. 



Both of these 

 books are free 

 to readers of 

 The Garden 

 Magazine.
