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,

southern Pennsylvania. 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.
