Headquarters for 
American-Grown 
Own-Root ROSES 
Report “Sold Out ” 
But 
R IGHT now there are 
thriving in our vast “un- 
derglass gardens’’ thousands 
upon thousands of mother 
plants destined to perpetuate 
the choicest of the race of 
Roses. We again expect to grow from three to four millions 
of guaranteed-to-bloorn Roses, for distribution during 1921. 
And because we have championed the cause of the Rose for 
nearly half a century, we want this to serve as a reminder 
that we are still headquarters for the 
choicest in Roseland. Of course we 
have a few — a very few of the rarer 
kinds left, but not enough to offer 
varieties. Rose lovers, please write! 
Garden Collection of 
IO MAGNIFICENT GLADIOLI 
$1.00 Postpaid 
Among these you will find some of the patri- 
cians of these lovely summer bloomers. From 
a small beginning, our Gladioli acreage has 
grown until we annually devote nearly 40 acres 
to them. Three million bulbs represent out 
crop of last year, and we are going to grow more 
next season. To acquaint you with true value 
in bulbs of surpassing blooming power, we will 
mail you Ten Fine Bulbs (ten separately named 
varieties) for One Dollar. 
— and there are 
ACRES OF PEONIES 
Second only in importance to our Rose in- 
dustry are the lovely Peonies of which we grow 
a goodly number of acres also. 
Next month and during the months to follow 
we shall tell you more about these pets of ours, but let us urge you right now 
to send for a copy of our “De Luxe” Booklet, “Peonies for Pleasure.” We 
want to share our pleasure and pets with you — please let’s get together NOW!
