 Roses" was published, this guide to rose cul-

 rose growing is presented.

 rose growing, how to choose roses, identifying 

 rose pests and diseases, where to buy roses, how 

 to prepare and plant your rose garden, and 

 many other down-to-earth helpful tips on 

 growing better roses. This book is a must for 

 every rose grower's library, beginner or expert.

CATALOG NOTES 



Please note that all "3-for" and group offer prices apply ONLY 

 when plants are shipped to the same address at the same time. 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, catalog varieties. We 

 cannot make changes in offers on request. Their special price 

 prohibits the extra handling these requests would require. 

 Roses in this catalog are classed as medium height by American 

 Rose Society standards unless otherwise noted. Blooming dates 

 for Chrysanthemums and other data in this catalog are based on 

 experience in growing these plants in West Grove (southern Penn- 

 sylvania). Mums bloom earlier in the north since length of day- 

 light is their controlling factor. Roses and most other plants come 

 into bloom earlier in the south.

Orders over $10.00 are packed without charge. We must charge a 

 50c packing fee on all orders less than $10. This packing charge 

 will apply on any portion of an order shipped separately which 

 totals less than $10. In cases where weather or some other condi- 

 tion forces us to ship parts of your order separately this charge will 

 not apply.

WHAT ARE EVERBLOOMERS? 



Everblooming roses will flower almost continuously from mid- 

 spring until hard frost. Roses bloom in waves or cycles, the first 

 bloom coming with spectacular show all at one time. As this wave 

 passes you will have fewer flowers, then a second full bloom four to 

 six weeks later. This cycle is repeated over and over through the 

 growing season . . . Only with roses can you be assured of beauti- 

 ful flowers in your garden from spring to frost; no other plant has 

 such a long period of bloom.
