I'm sorry that I can't show you this garden scene in color. The 

 low stone wall is used to contain the filled-in soil on a gentle 

 slope. The roses which fill this area are all colors . . . pink, 

 yellow, red, white . . . making a most attractive, small rose 

 garden layout. Such a garden is easy to make and highly de- 

 sirable to have. Perhaps you will want to plant one on your 

 grounds. 



WHY IT'S BEST TO BUY ROSES 

 DIRECT FROM THE GROWER 



When your plants come direct from the grower, you are 

 assured of getting nursery-fresh stock . . . plants 

 which have been grown and handled by experts . . . 

 plants which have been graded according to rigidly 

 upheld standards . . . plants which are guaranteed to 

 grow as they should and bloom for one growing season 

 or they will be replaced or your money refunded. 

 These are all excellent reasons for placing your rose 

 order with us ... a rose-growing firm which has been 

 located for 65 years on the same fertile rose-growing 

 lands, and which during all those years has sold millions 

 of rose plants to customers all over the United States 

 by way of the U. S. Mail system. We were, in fact, the 

 first to send rose plants by mail. All of this experience 

 and rose growing integrity are yours to rely upon now.

SOME SPECIAL ROSES 



FRAU KARL DRUSCHKI. A Hybrid Perpetual rose which 

 we introduced back near the turn of the century, and famed 

 all those years for its huge, double white flowers. These open 

 from pointed buds tinged with carmine-pink. The tall-grow- 

 ing bush is extremely vigorous, has very dark green foliage 

 and is attractive. Most people use this durable old-timer as 

 a specimen or accent plant; although there's no reason why 

 you could not use it very effectively as a hedge. Just plant it 

 in a row! SI. 75 ea.; 3 or more, SI. 55 ea. 



GOLDEN WINGS. Plant Pat. 1419. This is a substantial 

 decorative shrub or hedge-type rose which is immensely 

 vigorous and hardy. It produces many bright, yellow flowers 

 in continuous, free-blooming style. The flowers open to reveal 

 contrasting, reddish stamens. The plant grows to 4 feet and 

 has fine foliage which needs no spraying. Golden Wings is 

 ideal to pick up the scenery — add a touch of color — accent 

 any part of the garden. .S2.50 ea.; 3 or more, 82.20 ea. 



THE SWEETHEART ROSE. (Cecile Brunner.) Many people 

 ask for this one, and we have it again for them. It's a famous 

 old rose, the one to which others are likened when referred 

 to as " sweetheEu-t-type" roses. Long buds and small, double 

 flowers are pink on a yellow ground. They come freely and 

 are fragrant. Low-growing, shrub-like bush leaves nothing 

 to be desired. You'll really love the delightful form and the 

 attractive coloring of The Sweetheart Rose. SI. 75 ea.; 3 or 

 more, SI. 55 ea.; 25 or more, SI. 40 ea.
