C. & J. 1917 RELIABLE DOZEN 
Over a half-century’s experience in intelligent Rose-growing is back of this now famous dozen Roses, 
selected to combine, in a small bed, quality and a variety of charming colors that will be welcomed in any 
Rose-garden, however high the standard; also, for the benefit and convenience of those who prefer to leave 
the selection to us, we offer this C. & J. RELIABLE DOZEN. Whether you live North, South, East, 
or West, here is a set you may order with confidence. Each variety contains the qualities of a high-grade 
Rose. They are all strong, vigorous growers, bloom abundantly, and all are among the hardiest in this 
everblooming class. Just enough in this collection to fill a bed 3 feet wide by 8 feet long. They will! 
bloom the first season and every succeeding season, all summer long, even the one-year size; best about 
them, however, is the beauty of the flowers, in form, color, fragrance—every way. But read the descrip- 
tions, and note that several of these Roses are illustrated elsewhere. If planted in your garden, you'll 
like them, we feel sure.
