Winter Bloom 
We are large growers and importers of Roses, 
flowers, seeds and bulbs, but the Rose is our 
leading specialty. ‘‘The Best Roses for America.” 
We grow them by the 100,000, and in our 
January Guide (to Roses) we offer all the newest _ 
and choicest varieties in one- and two-year sizes ; 
and some in three-year size. 
You will find listed in this catalogue the kinds | 
we recommend for autumn planting out- y 
doors. (See pages 30 and 31.) On this 
page we offer the choicest kinds for winter 
blooming indoors or under glass. And 
when winter is over, you will find them 
just the right kind to plant out in your 
garden for summer bloom. Cultural di- 
rections will be sent on request. 
Please Remember that these Roses are 
all strong, repotted plants, in best con- 
dition to bloom quickly and give plenty of 
lovely buds and flowers all winter. When — 
sent by mail we pay postage; but it is better to have them 
shipped by express, so the earth can be left on the roots. 
We prepay express charges when orders amount to $5 or 
over. See page 3.
