HOUSE OF ROSES— ONE OF THE RANGE DEVOTED TO 
GROWING ROSES FOR CUT FLOWERS. 
Helena, January, 1918. 
To Our Patrons: 
It is with pleasure we present you with our Catalog for 1918 — the TTvenl};-eighth year 
of business in Montana for The State Nursery & Seed Co., and of which nearly 30,000 
copies will be distributed this season. 
In its pages will be found listed every really valuable variety of plant and seed which 
we have found to be suited to our rigorous climate. 
On account of the unusual shortage in seed crops in many items, we found it impossible 
to attach prices to many seeds listed, both Vegetable and Field — without delaying the publi- 
cation of the Catalog. Whenever prices are not quoted with the description of the seeds men- 
tioned, they will be found on the Red Insert hetrveen pages 96-97. 
Our Nurseries, Greenhouses and Trial Grounds have been kept up to their usual high 
standard, and improvements are continually being added, one of the chief during the past sea- 
son being the installation of two additional large steam boilers for heating purposes. 
The illustrations on the following pages, from actual photographs, will give our reader 
some idea of the extent of the plant devoted to our business in its various branches, and of 
our ability to promptly care for all orders entrusted to our care.
