YOU can't afford to experiment with rose bushes — you 

 should have the best roses in America, ^k roses, the 

 kind supplied the most discriminating rose growers 

 everywhere and the United States Government. 



You know enough about roses to appreciate how uncertain some roses are. You 

 know why this is, viz., because many rose growers force their roses for sale purposes 

 only — and if they don't make good, why, then it's your fault. Then you'll appreciate 

 some of the things we do to insure the growth and bloom of our roses. 



We grow all our roses on their own roots under conditions similar to those they'll 

 encounter when they are planted in your garden. They're grown slowly and surely 

 — not forced. 



That's why we can guarantee our roses to grow and to bloom. That's why they are the best roses 

 in America — and more. That's why the leading rose growing amateurs, the finest and most exclusive 

 estates and the United States Government buy roses from us. Now we want you to buy our roses 

 and here's a suggestion for you :
