CATALOG NOTES 



Please note that all "3-for" and group offer 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 

 are sold out will, of course, get the kinds listed in the offer. We cannot make 

 changes in special offers on request. Please do not ask it. 



Roses in this catalog are classed as of medium height in American Rose Society 

 lists, unless otherwise mentioned. 



Blooming dates for Chrysanthemums and other data in this catalog are based 

 on experience at West Grove, in southern Pennsylvemia. Mums bloom earlier 

 in the north, since length of daylight is their controlling factor; Roses and most 

 other plants start blooming earlier in the south.
