Report "Sold Out" 

 But--- 



RIGHT now there are 

 thriving in our vast "un- 



derglass gardens" thousands 



upon thousands of mother 



plants destined to perpetuate . _ 



the choicest of the race of " 



Roses. We again expect to grow from three to four millions 



of guar ante ed-to-bloom Roses, for distribution during 1921. 



And because we have championed the cause of the Rose for 



nearly half a century, we want this to serve as a reminder 

 that we are still headquarters for the 

 choicest in Roseland. Of course we 

 have a few — a very few of the rarer 

 kinds left, but not enough to offer 

 varieties. Rose lovers, please write!

Among these you will find some of the patri- 

 cians of these lovely summer bloomers. From 

 a small beginning, cur Gladioli acreage has 

 grown until we annually devote neaily 40 acres 

 to them. Three million bulbs represent our 

 crop of last year, and we are going to grow more 

 next season. To acquaint you with true value 

 in bulbs of surpassing blooming power, we will 

 mail you Ten Fine Bulbs (ten separately named 

 varieties) for One Dollar. 



— and there are 



ACRES OF PEONIES 



Second only in importance to our Rose in- 

 dustry are the lovely Peonies of which we grow 

 a goodly number of acres also. 



Next month and during the months to follow 

 we shall tell you more about these pets of ours, but let us urge you right now 

 to send for a copy of our "De Luxe" Booklet, "Peonies for Pleasure." We 

 want to share our pleasure and pets with you — please let's get together NOW!
