. . . as a reminder that planting time — and Spring are almost here. True, 

 you still have time to order, but so often Spring comes on us before we 

 realize it and we don't want you to miss the opportunity to get your order 

 in and your roses planted. 



This special catalog contains an especially selected group of roses and 

 perennials. We know you will be pleased with any of the kinds you order. 

 We do urge you to order now while a good selection is still available and there 

 is still time to plant. However, we do ship plants through the middle of 

 May just in case your order is delayed.

Dear Gardening Friends: 



In today's busy world we just never seem to have 

 enough time to do all of the things we really want to do. 

 Particularly, I think, those things which take decisions 

 now and action later, like ordering roses. And that's 

 exactly why we send this special catalog to those of our 

 customers who have not yet placed their orders for roses 

 with us. It's a reminder that Spring is just around the 

 . . in fact, do you realize that roses will be blooming in just a few short 

 BUT THERE IS STILL TIME TO ORDER Star Roses. We still 

 have a good supply and will do our best to send you the kinds you want. I'm 

 happy to say, too, that our crop of roses is especially fine this year. Last year's 

 abundance of rain and exceptionally fine growing weather late in the fall have 

 resulted in producing one of the finest crops we've ever had. Send your order 

 today. It will be acknowledged by return mail. And remember, all Star Roses 

 are guaranteed to grow and bloom. 



Yours for Gardening Pleasure,
