IMPORTANT 

 Special Offer on Roses 



For Orders Received and Shipped on or 

 before March 1, 1913 



As stated on page 1 74 of our Garden Book, our Roses are all strong 

 two-year old field-grown plants, which are lifted as soon as the wood is 

 thoroughly ripened in the late Autumn and potted into five-inch and six-inch 

 pots and stored in cold greenhouses until time for setting out in the open 

 ground, usually about the end of April or early May in the vicinity of Philadelphia. 



The work of potting up the vast number of Roses which we handle takes 

 a large number of our skilled employees most of the months of December, Jan- 

 uary and February, and when potted they occupy valuable greenhouse space 

 for nearly four months, and while we believe that the pot-grown plants such as 

 we send out, are likely to give the average amateur the very best results, yet 

 there are many who have facilities to take care of this class of stock or who 

 would get as good returns by planting the dormant unpotted plants. This is 

 particularly the case in the States South of Philadelphia and the Pacific Coast 

 States. 



One of the great advantages of buying the unpotted dormant plants is 

 that tbey can be sent to the most distant parts of the country at very little 

 expense for expressage, which is quite heavy when the plants are potted up. 

 Therefore, to those who can take delivery of their Roses in dormant unpotted 

 plants on or before March 1 , 1913, thus saving us the labor of potting and the 

 cost of handling them through the busy Spring months, we will allow a special 

 discount of 1 per cent, from the prices given in our Garden Book and deliver 

 them free to any express office in the United States, but it must be clearly 

 understood that this special rate is only on orders received and forwarded 

 between January I st and March 1st, 1913. After that date all of our Roses 

 will be potted up and can then only be supplied at regular rates.
