"I used your seeds last year; they 

 were the most satisfactory I ever had. 

 I would not like to use any other." 



The opinion of a new customer in Louisiana. 



No reason why this should not be your 

 experience. 



Send for our Catalogue in any event. It is 

 different from other Seed Annuals.

Select Southern-Grown Roses 



THE most satisfactory 

 Roses are from 

 plants grown in the 

 South — many Northern 

 florists get their stock from 

 this section. The long 

 growing season and abun- 

 dance of sunshine help to 

 give the plants large size 

 and great vigor in the 

 shortest possible time. 

 Fairfax Roses are grown 

 far enough South to de- 

 velop under these exceed- 

 ingly favorable conditions. 

 On the other hand, my 

 nurseries are far enough 

 North to ripen properly 

 my two-year-old plants 

 and afford them a long 

 season of rest. My large 

 Roses are wintered in cold- 

 frames, and are in the best 

 possible condition for 

 spring planting. 



Every facility that 

 means well - matured, 

 thrifty plants is at my 

 command. I am offering 

 every Rose, new and old, 

 that has proved to be of value for garden planting, especially in the 

 hybrid tea class. My superior growing advantages, because of ideal 

 location, enable me to quote extremely reasonable prices.

Heller's Roses Make 

 Garden Success Certain 



Because they have been properly grown. Before we 

 entered the plant business, we tried out in our home 

 gardens every kind of Rose plant — the little hothouse 

 slips, the big Holland canes, and all the rest. The ex- 

 perience taught us why the average amateur grower 

 had such poor success with Roses, and led us to adopt 

 methods of growing that have produced the plants 

 with which many thousands of patrons have succeeded 

 so well. When you buy our Roses, you get home- 

 grown, own-root, thrifty hardy plants which make your 

 success a certainty. 



American Beauty and Other 

 Roses Growing Outdoors 



are found in gardens throughout the United States 

 from plants we supplied, all of which bloom freely in 

 season. Our plants are grown by methods original 

 with us, and the soil of Newcastle gives them vigor 

 not to be found in ordinary Roses. "The Garden of 

 Delight" tells the story of our experience fully, con- 

 tains letters from dozens of satisfied patrons about 

 their success with Heller Roses, also many pictures 

 of typical Rose gardens. Send for a free copy now.
