Some Rose Details of Importance 



THERE is more to the growing of good Roses than may at first appear. Out of 2,000 

 available varieties, which 200 would you think the best, and which of the 200 — still quite 

 an assortment — will best serve your particular needs? We have tried to make this catalogue 

 answer that question. 



In our effort to make Rose-growing easy for you, we 

 must be careful to do many things well: — 



First. We must make it impossible for you to find 

 in our catalogue any but the best varieties. 



Second. To grow the best possible plants in the best 

 possible way! 



Third. To conserve, in the good roots and the plump 

 branches of our plants, every bit of vigor and vitality with 

 which to push out big blooms when they grow in your 

 garden. 



Fourth. To let none but first-class plants go out — 

 plants good enough to deserve being marked with our 

 durable star labels. 



Fifth. To pack carefully, and to forward promptly, 

 accompanied with clear instructions, making the rest easy 

 for you to follow. 



To throw safeguards like these around the Roses you 

 get, requires a well-trained organization. That we have. 



The broadest experience which our staff commands is 

 used to seek and select what will prove the "Best Roses 

 for America." 



Mr. Antoine Wintzer is still in charge of our growing. 



Mr. Roland T. Satterthwait, our secretary, with a 

 splendid corps of dependable assistants, sees to it that 

 our Roses are perfectly packed for shipment. 



Mr. S. James Todd, in charge of our Service Depart- 

 ment, jealously guards the interests of every customer in 

 a way that can best be judged by the unsolicited testi- 

 monials that illuminate the pages of this catalogue. 



Thus, we are prepared, as never before, to help you 

 have Roses blooming around your own home this coming 

 season. We invite vour orders.

 made by no other firm.
