PRICES IN THIS CATALOG 
apply until the end of the Spring planting season. We do not ship C.O. D. 

CATALOG NOTES 
Please note that all ““3-for’’ and group offer prices apply 
ONLY when plants are shipped together to one address. 
In the group offers, we reserve the right to substitute 
when necessary with kinds of equal or greater value. 
Substitutions are made only with other good, catalog 
varieties, so you run no risk and are sure to get more than 
your money’s worth every time. Orders received before 
varieties are sold out will, of course, get the kinds listed 
in the offer. We cannot make changes in special offers on 
request. Please do not ask it. 
Roses in this catalog are classed as of medium height in 
American Rose Society lists, unless otherwise mentioned. 
Blooming dates for Chrysanthemums, and other data, 
in this catalog are based on experience at West Grove, in 
southern Pennsylvania. Mums bloom earlier in the north, 
since length of daylight is their controlling factor; Roses 
and most other plants start blooming earlier in the south. 
POTTED ROSES 
Potted Roses may be picked up at our Garden Marts 
any time after May 11. Prices are slightly higher than for 
dormant Roses, which are available prior to that time. 
We do not ship Potted Roses.

Is Your Rose Garden Up-to-Date? 
Does It Need a Face- Lifting ? 
One of the most difficult things for the tender-hearted gardener to do is to dispose 
of a Rose which, although it has seen its best days, still has a spark of life in it. This 
illustrates a sympathy with Roses but not with Rose gardens; for unless weak, spindly, 
aged and worn-out plants are removed and replaced with sturdy fresh ones, the total 
effect of the garden is spoiled. Have you turned an objective eye on your Rose bushes 
in the last season or two? If not, do it now—this spring—and replace the old worn-out

long but not forever; and if now an aging and feeble Rose gives you one or two blooms 
a season when once it gave you dozens, it is time to retire it in favor of vigorous and 
productive youth.
