STRONG TWO-YEAR OLD FIELD GROWN ROSES 



Our stock is budded on Japonica Multiflora roots which are conceded to 

 be the best stock for budding roses on by most of the leading rose growers. 

 These roses will start right off into vigorous growth and bloom lavishly 

 next summer, making more growth and giving more blooms than possible to 

 roses on their own roots. 



IMPORTANT. After April 30th it is inadvisable to move budded roses unless potted. This 

 is because they will have started growth at that time and due to their large roots cannot be 

 moved safely while growing. Because of this, after April 30th we will supply 2-year-old 

 budded roses that were potted last November and which will be growing strongly when delivered. 

 Handled in this manner they vrill go on growing and blooming undisturbed. It will be well 

 worth while to spend a little extra on these fine potted plants if you have delayed ordering 

 too long. 



FIVE NEW EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



Add 25 cts. each for potted plants of these five. Express extra.

 perfume, now so rare, is as great an attribute to its popularity as its large, beautiful form.
