A "Reliable Beautiful Primer of Rose Culture" 



"After years of Rose growing in places far apart, I think it not so much the soil 

 or the climate as the care and skill of the cultivator that 'win success." 



The above sentence is quoted from a recent article entitled " Some Experiences " by Rev. F. Page Roberts, President 

 of the National Rose Society of England, which has a membership over 3000.

 years of experience in growing

 to plant the Roses and then how 

 to care for them, what the}*- need, 

 cultivating, fertilizing, spraying,

Gentlemen: — Allow me to thank you 

 for the copy of your little book " How 

 to Grow Roses." Within its covers 

 you have placed all the information 

 necessary to help the beginner to be 

 successful in growing Roses. The selec- 

 tion of varieties for the various sections 

 of our country is excellent and could 

 not be improved. 



Your cultural directions are of the 

 best, brief and to the point ; they will 

 prove of great benefit to your custom- 

 ers, and if followed closely will give 

 them many beautiful Roses in return. 

 I am glad that you have in this way 

 placed at the disposal of your customers 

 your long and valued experience in 

 Rose growing, and feel that your little 

 book will induce many to become grow- 

 ers of the Queen of flowers. 



Allow me to say that the stock you have 

 sent me has given me vnfailing satisfac- 

 tion. Very truly yours, 



Peter Bisset, 



Rose Grower. 



Four Grades of C. & J. Roses 



" ONE=YEAR=OLD ROSES," usually greenhouse grown, but 

 well hardened, with strong roots and bushy tops from six 

 to fifteen inches high, according to variety. This size 

 gives such a harvest of bloom as to more than compen- 

 sate one for the outlay the first year. 



" QUICK=BLOOMING ROSES '■' are a special grade, larger 

 and finer than one-year-old but not so large as two-year- 

 old. These are the Roses we guarantee to bloom the 

 first season or refund the money. Please read more about 

 them, page 28. 



" TWO=YEAR OLD ROSES " are the regular large size and 

 should bloom abundantly the first year. If not other- 

 wise stated they are greenhouse grown, with specially 

 fibrous roots and well branched tops from one foot to 

 two and one half feet high (size depends much upon the 

 variety and habit of growth.) Some kinds can be supplied 

 in field-grown, dormant plants. 



*" EXTRA SIZE " three= and four=year=old Roses— All 

 Roses through this book marked with a star are in this 

 size. See summary, pages 10 and ll.-fc
