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 c()ld 

 water and apply as a fine spray, or use the material 

 offered elsewhere as Fungtrogen. 



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 in- 

 secticide 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 trou- 

 blesome. It is a very destructive insect and usually feeds 

 upon the white petals, but is easily destroyed by the use 

 of Insectrogen — 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, also the material Fung- 

 trogen recommended for mildew. 



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 hardi- 

 ness of a plant, as quite frequently plants that have been 

 out year after year will be winter-killed by unusual ccm- 

 ditions. 



For Growing Roses for Cut Flowers. — In green- 

 houses, such as Columbia, Premier, Killarneys, American 

 Beauty, Bride, Bridesmaid Milady, Ophelia, My Mary- 

 land, Lady Hillingdon, Sunburst, Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria. For outdoor growing for cut-flower purposes 

 none is better adapted for this than the Cochets and 

 Charles Dingee. 



For Cemeteries. — -The Souperts, Baby Ramblers and 

 Memorial or Wichuraiana. 



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, Personal Check, Money 

 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 Inter- 

 national Money Order on West Grove, Bank Draft or 

 currency in Registered Letter. Canadian postage stamps 

 have no value here. 



OUR GUARANTEE 



We guarantee safe arrival of all goods, to any place in 

 U. S. A., and if they do not arrive in that condition, ad- 

 vise us promptly. During the busy season, when it is 

 necessary to do practically 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 satisfactory 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 represented; 

 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, other 

 wise 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 l^c per plant on 12 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 addi- 

 tional 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, and at 

 your expense. In other words we will send C. O. D., for 

 the postage required plus C. O. D. free. 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 ordering, please 

 use the order sheet provided for that purpose whene^ er 

 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 CO. 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 12 cents, provided one- 

 half the amount of the order is sent in advance, 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 ex- 

 press, as you have no express charges and additional 

 charge for returning money. 



Canadian Customers. — Canadian laws permit send- 

 ing Roses or Shrubs into Canada at any time, but a permit 

 must be secured from the Secretary of the Destructive 

 Insect and Pest Advisory Board, Department of Agri- 

 culture, Ottawa. Owing to the rate of postage on Cana^ 

 dian orders we must request an additional 20 per cent 

 to cover postage. 



Foreign Orders. — Twenty-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.
