Dear Rose PURCHASER: 
Your request for our catalog is received. A copy will be sent 
to you as soon as it comes from the printer. One very important 
message, however, should reach you without any delay whatever. 
We want you to know the present situation regarding Roses. 
Roses are exceptionally scarce; so scarce that late abs Me likely 
to meet with many disappointments. It is for this reason that we 
are sending you this complete list of Roses which will be offered in 
our Spring catalog. (See inside) Along with it, we send to you also 
a recent copy of our Rose News Magazine “Success With Roses.”’ 
While there is a great scarcity in the general list of Roses and 
even of Rose novelties, there is one outstanding exception. The 
greatest Rose in the world today, in our estimation, is the new 
Hybrid Tea Rose “‘Peace.’’ We have an excellent supply of fine 
plants of “Peace. We have had the honor of introducing it in 
America. We are receiving many reports that it is proving an 
exceptional Rose in all parts) of the country. You will find illustra- 
tions in color and complete description of ‘““Peace’’ in the “Success 
With Roses’ which we are sending. 
Roses, whenever possible, should be ordered at once. Orders 
placed now stand a better chance of being filled than later orders. 
Our catalog should reach you next month. It will offer not 
only Roses but also one of the finest assortments of Chrysanthe- 
mums offered by any firm in the country—9 pages of them illustrated 
in natural colors. These need not be ordered as early as Roses. 
Also in the catalog is a fine assortment of hardy perennials such as 
Asters, ‘De gbanirans. Phlox, and Daylilies, older kinds as well as 
recent introductions. 
Remember—all Star Roses are guaranteed to bloom. If they 
should not bloom at the right season, you may depend upon adjust- 
ment, even to having your money back. 
Cultural Directions go with every order and help you always 
to get best results. 
Sincerely 
2 
President.
