For Christmas Gifts 



Roses for Christmas gifts add a new note in 

 Christmas giving that was enthusiastically used by 

 many Rose-lovers last year. Roses make a lasting, 

 living gift that gives pleasure long after the Christ- 

 mas season is past. 



We will acknowledge the receipt of your Christmas 

 order, and just before Christmas will mail a suitable 

 card to the recipient of the gift, saying you ordered 

 the plants. Your own card and message will be 

 inclosed with our card if received with your order. 



The Roses of your choice will be reserved and 

 shipped, delivery prepaid, at the proper planting- 

 time next spring. 



As a suggestion, we recommend as an anniversary 

 gift the Star Dozen as an exceptionally fine selection, 

 also the set of 7 Fragrant Roses as offered on page 

 11. If your friend already has a Rose-garden, some 

 of the newer Roses might be especially appreciated. 



Please order early. Use blank on order sheet.

much that is of interest and value to the experienced 



rosarian.
