PLEASE NOTE: No plants are shipped between Dec. 10 

 and Jan. 2, due to possibility of delay during Christmas mail 

 season. 



NOTE ON HANDLING CHARGE 



The 35c handling charge applies to each part of a total 

 order if such part is to be shipped to a different address and if 

 the part is for less than $10. However, if two different kinds 

 of plants are ordered at the same time (Roses and Mums, for 

 instance) but are not shipable at the same time, the handling 

 charge is based on the average amount of the two orders. 

 Example: $15 order for Roses and $5 order for Mums paid 

 for at one time but shipped at different times. There is no 

 handling charge for the Mums because the average order is 

 $10. 



FALL PLANTING 



We recommend fall planting of Roses: in late October 

 for northern states, from November until the ground freezes, 

 farther south. In fall, the earth is mellow and right for plant- 

 ing. Put a mound of soil up around the stems after planting 

 and the Roses will be ready to grow when spring comes. 



MAIL-ORDER shipments will be made at proper time for 

 planting in your locality. Dormant Roses can be planted until 

 just before the ground freezes for the winter. 



NOTE: Rose plants may be picked up at the nursery AFTER 

 NOVEMBER 1, but not before that date.
