SPRING. 
1946 
7t Message te Our Customers: 
Roses are in short supply,-and Star Roses are no exception. All 
over this country, less than half the current normal crop was harvested. 
In our own case, more than half those dug were sold last autumn, 
while the demand for Roses has doubled. The supply for spring will not 
last very long. We encourage early orders and suggest that you instruct 
us to send other kinds if necessary. We reserve the right to make 
changes of varieties in offers; otherwise we do not substitute unless re- 
quested to do so. (See ‘‘Our Selection” offers, page 8.) 
We much prefer, as a rule, to send out only West-Grove-grown Star 
Roses. We are at times obliged to supplement our short supply with 
some kinds grown elsewhere. These too will soon be gone. 
If for any reason, the Rose plants sent to you do not measure up to our 
usual Star Rose standard, please remember that even with present 
difficult conditions, if quality varies there is always one thing that does 
not vary—When purchasing Star Roses, you can depend upon getting 
either your money’s worth or your money back. 
Please note our Star Rose Guarantee (on opposite page) and use it if 
you ever happen to need it. 
We have been obliged, on account of short supply, to refuse large 
orders for Star Roses from Municipal Rose Gardens. Even some pri- 
vate gardens may have vacant spaces left unfilled. For these, we have 
growing an extra large supply of perennials, including especially 96 
varieties of chrysanthemums, the leading varieties and novelties of our 
time (see special Index). 
We had hoped that it would be possible, by rationing 2 to each 
customer, to have enough Peace Roses to supply everyone. The extraor- 
dinary demand for Peace has been so heavy that we are compelled 
to accept present and future orders subject to fall delivery. 
When you order from this catalog, you will be ordering from a firm 
with a nearly fifty-year record as Rose Specialists. 
Our Roses are 2-year-old field plants. For orders received up to 
April 10, all prices include delivery charges which we prepay. Prices 
and group offers in this catalog apply only until June 15, 1946. If you 
want Roses, do not postpone ordering.
