It can be checked to a certain extent by sprinkling the 
leaves with powdered sulphur immediately after its ap- 
pearance. If, however, this does not check it, dissolve 
one ounce of potassium sulphuret in two gallons of cold 
water and apply as a fine spray. 
GREEN FLY OR APHIS—A green sucking insect 
which usually gathers in great numbers upon the tips of 
the new growth. A solution of tobacco made from 
tobacco insecticide soap, which you will find offered 
elsewhere in this book, will exterminate them. 
The Rose Bug is a familiar insect, appears in the 
earliest summer, sometimes in great quantities, and is 
very troublesome. It is a very destructive insect and 
usually feeds upon the white petals, but is easily de- 
stroyed by the use of MELROSINE—A new discovery 
for rose bugs said to be very good. Offered elsewhere. 
BLACK SPOT—A fungous disease, appearing as its 
name indicates as a black spot upon the leaf, eventually 
turning yellow and falling. It rarely occurs in the 
early part of the season and the Teas are almost but not 
quite exempt from its ravages. The best preventive if 
your bushes have been troubled with it in the past is 
spraying in April with Bordeaux Mixture before the 
foliage has developed and not while the flowers are in 
bloom, because of the discoloration of the foliage. 
HARDINESS—Hardiness in a Rose is a matter of 
which no one can speak with positive certainty, because 
the condition of the weather, as a rule, prescribes the 
hardiness of a plant, as quite frequently plants that 
have been out year after year will be winter-killed by 
unusual conditions.

TERMS, GUARANTEE AND HOW WE SHIP 
TERMS 
Our terms are cash with order. Goods will be shipped 
C. O. D. if one-half of amount is remitted with order. 
Money may be sent at our risk by Post Office Order, Ex- 
press Money Order, Bank Draft, Money (not stamps) 
in Registered Letter. We will be responsible for the 
safe carriage of money sent us by any of these ways, 
and, if lost, we will give full value. Stamps accepted 
for amounts less than $1.00. Canadian customers can 
remit by International Money Order on West Grove, 
Bank Draft or currency in Registered Letter. Can- 
adian postage stamps have no value here. 
Our Guarantee 
We guarantee safe arrival of all goods, and if they do 
not arrive in that condition, advise us promptly. Dur- 
ing the busy season, when it is necessary to do practi- 
cally the entire business of the year in a period of a few 
weeks, it is a physical impossibility to answer each and 
every complaint promptly; but you need have no fear 
but what the matter will be attended to just as soon as 
we possibly can reach it, and anything that is not satis- 
factory will be made so. 
It seems impossible not to make mistakes during the 
rush season; the right label may be attached to the 
wrong plant, but we believe the full value is always rep- 
resented; in fact, we always endeavor to do better 
than your order calls for. It sometimes happens that a 
certain variety will run out, and in such cases we reserve 
the right to substitute another of the same color and of 
equal, if not better, value unless instructed to the 
contrary. 
COMPLAINTS—When the goods reach you, if there 
is any complaint it must be made within ten days, 
otherwise we cannot entertain it. 
How We Ship 
The first size Roses and other plants, such as Geran- 
iums, Chrysanthemums, etc., are sent by parcel post 
prepaid at the prices quoted, soil removed from roots 
and wrapped in wax paper and damp moss, unless you 
desire soil left on the roots, when we make an additional 
charge of | 4c per plant on |2 plants or more and 2c per 
plant on less than 12 plants, to send by parcel post, or 
we will send by express at your expense without ad- 
ditional charge. The two and three-year-old Roses and 
shrubs are sent by express at your expense, unless you 
desire to have them sent by parcel post with soil on their 
roots the same as if they were sent by express. We can 
send 70 pounds to the first and second and third zones 
and 50 pounds to the other zones. 
Instructions for Ordering 
PLEASE OBSERVE CAREFULLY—When order- 
ing, please use the order sheet provided for that purpose 
whenever possible. Simply fill up the blanks, giving the 
number and name of the varieties wanted, with size and 
price; we will understand. 
ORDER EARLY—Many of our customers order 
early, and the plants are set aside; the earlier you order 
the better. We will book for delivery whenever you 
direct, or at the time we consider proper to plant such 
stock ordered. 
PARCEL POST C. O. D.—If you desire your order, 
no matter how small, sent C. O. D. by parcel post, we 
can do so at an additional cost of only 10 cents, pro- 
vided one-half the amount of the order is sent in ad- 
vance, and the small fee for the money order, which is 
3 cents up to $2.50; 5 cents up to $5.00, making it much 
cheaper than by express, as you have no express charges 
and additional charge for returning money. 
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS—Canadian laws pro- 
hibit sending dormant Roses or Shrubs into Canada, 
except from March 15 to May 15, and from October 7 
to December 7. All other goods, including our pot- 
grown Roses, from 33-inch pots and smaller, grown 
under glass, are admitted at any time. 
FOREIGN ORDERS—tTwenty-five per cent extra 
should be added to orders going outside the United 
States proper to pay extra cost of packing and postage. 
To countries with which we have a parcel post, goods 
can be sent by mail.
