WHILE the express charges on our goods amount to much 

 more than 10 per cent of each order so shipped, the benefit 

 to our patrons is so great that we gladly assume this extra 

 cost. We know the plan will be so highly appreciated that it 

 will result in a great increase in our business — therefore, we can 

 afford to do it. 



We have seventy greenhouses and a large acreage of the finest Rose Land 

 in the country. We have spared no expense in our endeavors to produce only 

 the highest quality of goods. And we are the only Rose Growers making such a 

 liberal delivery offer without adding anything to the price of the plants them- 

 selves. All our goods will be sent packed in the most scientific manner. We 

 always make it a rule to leave a goodly portion of the soil around the roots of 

 all plzmts when sent by express— enough to keep them in a good, healthy, grow- 

 ing condition. 



Unfortunately, some growers, in order to save weight on express shipments, 

 remove all the soil from the roots — a most pernicious practice, as the plants are 

 subject to a heavy strsdn before the bare roots take hold in the new soil. With 

 our methods the plants do not cease growing, and as soon as planted are per- 

 fectly at home in their new surroundings. All our plants are wrapped carefully 

 in moss and air-tight, oiled paper, keeping the roots moist; and no matter where 

 you live we guarantee that they will reach you in first-class growing condition. 



All one-year-old and larger size Roses and miscellaneous plants will be delivered 

 free by mail ; all two-, three- and four-year-old Roses and the higher price miscel- 

 laneous plants, shrubs, etc, will be sent by express. 



You must he satisfied in every partic- 

 ular or your money will be refunded
