FARMERS 6° MERCHANTS BANK, Catoosa , Okla. "Your rose catalogue is the best I have ever seen. It is a 

 work of art and the illustrations are true likenesses of the varieties they represent. If I had had a copy of your 

 'LITTLE BOOK' when I first began to grow roses and adopted it for my guide, I would have saved myself 

 many disappointments and much expense." A. E. Henry, (Cashier) 



Franklin, Pa. "Your 1012 Rose Booklet is a gem of the first water. I read every word from cover to cover without 

 stopping for breath or refreshments. . . . Your roses too, are the best I have ever obtained and I have 

 purchased from at least twenty of the best sources I know of. H. G. Reading. 



90 Worth St., New York. "Since the death of , I have known of no commercial florist on whom I felt I 



could depend until your 'LITTLE BOOK' came into my hands. On first reading it, I was so much impressed 

 with the truthfulness and honesty of your descriptions, that I could do nothing else but recommend my friends to 

 try your plants, with the assurance that if they did so, after a careful reading of your catalogue, they could soon 

 have as fine a rose garden as it has taken me twenty years to obtain." S. C. Higgins.
