Dear Customer: 



This catalog has been designed to help you sell more roses. Ever since 1897 we have specialized in 

 growing roses and in that time have earned a nationwide reputation for ourselves. We want to pass 

 along to you the experience and know-how that these years have given us. 



We believe you will find growing and selling suggestions here that will help you end the year with 

 more money in your pocket. We operate garden centers ourselves where we discover first-hand what 

 attracts and keeps cash customers. 



Back of our selling techniques stands a product that you will never have to apologize for ... a rose 

 bush grown and handled with infinite care every week of its life. Our list of varieties covers all classes 

 and colors, including the newest and the best of the old. And our up-to-date shipping and storing 

 facilities assure you of receiving the plants in prime condition. 



Notice too our Container Line of landscape material, geared to today's gardeners and home owners 

 and grown under conditions that result in a quality product. 



Sincerely, 



*$tar Roses -
