ROSES 



^ — ' HERE are few gardens where Roses may not be grown with success, there are hardly 

 any that would not be enriched by their presence. The climbers yield spectacular returns 

 and the Hybrid Teas produce an abundance of colorful bloom from June until frost. Year 

 after year, they repay for the little effort expended on them with a wealth of color and 

 delicate perfume. They are naturally fitted for a variety of uses; for the formal, the 

 informal and the cutting garden; for the clothing of ugly buildings and fences; for sprawl- 

 ing over terraces and slopes, and for spiralling around pillar and post. Thousands of species 

 are now in cultivation, many are old favorites; many more are new and untried or are 

 restricted to certain localities. Our selection contains only those, we have found from 

 experience, suited to conditions in this area, and have been carefully grown for two years 

 in the open field before being placed in pots. This, we consider, is the ideal method of 

 handling them. It enables our customers and ourselves to select plants on which the 

 healthy foliage and buds can actually be seen growing, and because such plants can be 

 placed in permanent positions, with the assurance that they will immediately produce 

 gorgeous flowers and mature effects. 



Early each spring we mail upon request, our descriptive Rose Folder. It is well to write or 

 telephone us, immediately upon receipt of this folder, reserving your plants, since those not 

 reserved are subject to prior sale. 



PERENNIALS 



TTENTION is focused at seasonal intervals on new models of all kinds . . . 

 automobiles, homes, accessories in the home, roses and other plants. New models in perenni- 

 als, too, should receive the attention their development deserves. There are so many new 

 perennials and so many of the old favorites that, because of their great number, Towson 

 Nurseries have decided to issue a separate perennial catalog. In it are included all of the 

 old-fashioned flowers, and the new and rarer types as well, from the smallest creeping 

 plants such as Veronica rupestris nana (Rock Speedwell) which grows only 1 inch high, to 

 the stately Delphinium Hybrids. 



In offering this new perennial catalog, we have included cultural suggestions which will 

 enable you to achieve the greatest success. 



Whether your home is located in a section where the soil is sandy, red clay, loam, or where 

 it is very rocky and shallow — perennials will thrive for they are adapted to such a wide 

 range of soil conditions that it will be easy to select subjects which are suited to your 

 exact location. 



Upon request, we will be glad to send you a copy of our new perennial catalog, describing 

 the vast selection of old favorites as well as the rarer perennials which are so indispensable 

 in providing color in the home landscape.
