Tfifs Special Garden Guide 



is being mailed to you as an urgent reminder that ORDERING TIME is here. 

 Spring comes on fast, and before you know it everything's in bud. By ordering 

 now you will have your rose bushes in time to enjoy that extra special pleasure 

 that only roses bring. 



This catalog offers a selected group of roses, mums and delphiniums. We know 

 you will be pleased with any of the kinds you order. We do urge you to ORDER 

 NOW while a good selection is still available and there is still time to plant. 

 However, we do ship plants through the middle of May just in case your order 

 is delayed. 



PLANTING GUIDE sent with your order 



This 24-page booklet is a helpful guide to rose 

 planting and culture. It describes and pictures 

 the steps to successful rose growing, from plant- 

 ing through pruning and spraying. Gives facts, 

 too, about planting and growing perennials 

 and bulbs. We have prepared this Planting 

 Guide as a service to you. A copy is sent FREE 

 with every order. 



ORDER INSTRUCTIONS 



Dormant plants. Prices in this catalog are for dormant roses and are void 

 after June 1970. All Rose plants are 2-ye£lr, field-grown, guaranteed to bloom. 

 Orders are accepted subject to stock unsold. Patented varieties are sold under license 

 from the patent owner. 



All "3-for" and group offer prices apply ONLY when plants 

 are shipped to the same address at the same time. "3-for" prices apply to 3 of one 

 variety only. In the group offers, we reserve the right to substitute sold-out varieties 

 with kinds of equal or greater catalog value. We substitute only when necessary and 

 only with other good varieties. However, we cannot make changes in offers on re- 

 quest. Their special price prohibits the extra handling these requests would require. 



Parcel post prepaid. All plants in this catalog are shipped at our expense, 

 prepaid to your door. Plants will be shipped at the proper time for planting in 

 your locality. 



Packing charges. Orders over SIO are packed without charge. We must 

 charge a 50c packing fee on all orders that amount to less than SIO. This packing 

 charge will apply on any portion of an order shipped separately which totals less 

 than SIO. In cases where weather or some other condition forces us to ship parts 

 of your order separately, this charge will not apply. 



Enclose payment with your order. We do not ship C.O.D. 



Add sales tax of 6% on orders to be delivered in Pennsylvania. 



Please print your name and address on the order sheet, and don't forget the 



Zip Code. All orders from one household should be made under the same name.

Dear Gardening Friends : 



There is still time to order Star Roses for bloom this 

 June if you act at once. Planting time is just around the 

 corner, so I urge you not to delay. 



We have a newly designed Star tag to identify our plants 

 (see below). You can count on it as a guarantee of a 

 sturdy, healthy bush. Again we have a fine crop of the 

 best plants your money can buy, and our efficient service 

 plus careful packing and handling methods will assure you of absolutely top- 

 grade roses this spring. 



Our catalog has a new feature this year — what we call the Rose Fact Sheet, 

 starting on page 17. This gives you a thumbnail description of the roses we sell, 

 and we hope it helps you to spot just what you're looking for in a rose. 

 We'll be looking for your order. 



Yours for a wonderful rose season,
