Our Roses are the finest quality No. 1 stock, field-grown, two- 

 year-old dormant plants. They are northern grown under the 

 most scientific conditions, and must not be compared with in- 

 ferior, cheaply grown plants. 



We start digging and shipping Roses about October 25th. They are 

 packed in damp sphagnum moss, and as the roots are not exposed to 

 the air, the plants reach our customers fresh and full of vitality.

Roses can be planted in the fall as long as the ground is free from 

 frost. Many rosarians prefer fall planting because the plants then 

 receive the advantage of an early start in the spring. These Roses 

 are budded low, and when planting, the bud or union should be 

 placed just below the surface of the soil. Be careful to spread the 

 roots out well.
