The Finest Roses in 33 Years! 



FOR thirty-three years we have specialized on Roses and 

 iiave devoted ourselves wliolclicortedly to a sludy of 

 producing tlie verj' best. We continue to learn lessons 

 as the years go by, ana wc ore still learning. We spare 

 no pains and no expense to provide the best skill and best 

 equipment that arc obtainable for this work-, and we have 

 improved our methods ahead of the average grower. We 

 prefer to discard a Rose which prematurely loses its foliage, 

 because it is the foliage that feeds the roots, and summer 

 defoliation causes malnutrition and its resulting loss nf 

 vitality. A Rose on which the foliage continues green, vig- 

 orous, and healthy, clear up to the end of the season, is 

 a Rose whose food-manufacturing part (the foliage) has been 

 steadily at work and in conseoucnce of which its branches 

 and roots are robust apd full of vigor. Such Roses will 



There are Roses on the market handled by middlemen 

 who may never have seen the plants growing. Their Roses 

 may look all right to the average observer, but having had 

 only half a chance, never having properly ripened and 



matured their branches, they arc devitalized. Such lack 

 of quality is not apparent to the average buyer. 



To be sure that you are getting good Roses you must 

 largely rely upon the tradesmen from whom you purchase. 

 Last autumn, we harvested the very finest crop of 

 Roses that we've had in our thirty-odd years of experience. 

 Our plants have been properly fertilized, sprayed, culti- 

 vated, and kept practically free from black-spot and other 

 troubles that so often alTcct and weaken Roses before 

 thcv are harvested. The full evidence of this will be most
