ORDERING ROSES 



Consult the catalogues and make a list of the varieties desired, and let me suggest that you 

 place yovir order as early as possible for Spring or Fall planting. 



I prefer three year old roses when obtainable, and potted roses should be ordered for late 

 Spring, Summer and emergency planting. 



When ordering standards or half standards, state that only stems budded on both sides will be 

 accepted. If budded on one side only, the grace and charm of the tree rose is utterly lost. 

 Usually it is necessary to order roses from several firms, as one firm does not always carry all the 

 varieties desired. I have found the following "Order Form" very satisfactory:
