FREE PLANTING GUIDE 

 WITH EVERY ORDER ! 



Our new 16-page booklet is a helpful and 

 simple guide to Hose planting and culture — 

 a handy and practical aid that gives the 

 answers you're looking for. It describes and 

 pictures the 10 easy steps to successful 

 Rose growing, from unpacking the Roses to 

 enjoying them in your garden. Contains 

 information on pruning, spraying, dusting. 

 Also gives you facts about planting and 

 growing perennials. You will find a very- 

 helpful planting depth diagram for fall bulbs 

 that tells you at a glance just how deep the bulb should be for 

 best results. We have prepared this Planting Guide as a service to 

 our customers. You will find it useful. 



WHAT THIS SIGN MEANS 



This mark indicates an "All-America Rose 

 Selections" winner: the most valued award 

 a Hose can receive in America. Roses entered 

 in the All-America contest are grown in test 

 plots located in all different climatic regions and judged 

 for two years before introduction. Standards lor awards 

 are terrifically high, and you can trust these winners to do 

 especially well in all respects and in all areas. 



WHY IT'S BEST TO BUY DIRECT 

 FROM THE GROWER 



It goes without saying that the freshest and healthiest 

 plants are most likely to be had directly from the grower. 

 The grower has his own roots down (we've been on this 

 land more than 60 years and expect to stay for another 

 60); and he has a reputation to uphold. Therefore, to buy 

 from him is your assurance of complete satisfaction. You 

 know you can place your confidence in him.

CATALOG NOTES 



Please note that all "3-for" and group ofTer 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 air -old out will, of course, get the kinds listed 

 in the offer. We cannot make changes in special oilers on 

 request. Please do not ask it. 



Hoses in this catalog are classed as of medium height in 

 American Hose 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; Hoses 

 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 9th. Prices are slightly higher than 

 for dormant Hoses, which are available prior to that time. 

 We do not ship Potted Roses and no oilers, combinations 

 or quantity prices are given. 



PRICES IN THIS CATALOG apply until the end of Spring Planting Season. No C.O.D.'s
