1 NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1913 i 



ROSES SELECTED FOR 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 outdoors. (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 directions 

 will be sent on request. 



Please Remember that these Roses are all strong, 

 repotted plants, in best condition 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 that the earth can be left on the 

 roots. We prepay express charges when orders amount to 

 $5 or over. See page 3 and order sheet.

It is a joy to receive your Rose plants, they are so fresh and 

 healthy looking. I have tried a number of other greenhouses 

 for Roses, but none can compare for size and beauty with your 

 plants, as you certainly send out fine Roses. Youis truly,
