Cheer Up! Plant More Roses! 
Before writing us please read these simple 
instructions how easy it is to grow these 
famous “Roses of New Castle” 
Roses, and other flowering plants and vines, are 
being planted by the millions here in America. This 
movement to beautify the home has grown to huge 
proportions in the last twenty years. Great publica¬ 
tions have come into being devoted to the Home 
Beautiful Movement. Nearly every newspaper, both 
local and national, carries a department devoted to 
the same purpose. Everybody is planting “grow¬ 
ing things” around the home. Many years ago the 
owner of this concern advanced the theory which 
has now been accepted as an unquestioned, practical 
fact, that roses and other flowering plants around 
the home were just as important, or more so, than 
the interior decorations—painting, papering and the 
like. Not only do roses and flowering plants add 
beauty to the home, but from a more practical stand¬ 
point, dollar for dollar invested, they add more 
value to a property than any other purchaseable 
article. 
New Methods of growing these famous, “ROSES 
OF NEW CASTLE” have produced new values in 
improved, magnificent plants, adding new values as 
sensational as those found in automobiles as com¬ 
pared to a few years ago. Without reservation, we 
state that our rose plants this year are the best 
plants we have grown in 40 years. 
Here’s the way they are grown. Kept during 
the winter at a temperature slightly above freezing, 
nature’s treatment, when planted in the spring they 
burst into magnificent growth like all winter rested 
trees and plants, producing their gorgeous flowers 
early, in abundance and continuously. 
FOR BEGINNERS 
Prepared for amateurs and beginners and people 
of modest means, we have accomplished almost the 
impossible by marvelously increasing the high stan¬ 
dard of the plants and at the same time, reducing 
the price, and on top of all this, prepaying all 
shipping charges. Depressions sharpen wits, and 
now the purchaser receives unusual benefits and low 
prices. 
These famous own-root pot-grown plants of 
ours are very free of diseases so commonly found in 
field-grown, dormant, wild root nursery rose plants, 
which soon kill them off. We refer to brown canker 
and common cane canker. Our roses are healthy and 
trustworthy, requiring no petting or coaxing. Why 
then, take chances? Buy dependable roses like ours 
at unheard of low prices. Glorious returns assured 
when you do. 
HOW AND WHEN TO PLANT THE 
“ROSES OF NEW CASTLE” 
Our pot-grown rose plants may be planted any¬ 
time after severe freezing and heavy frost is past, 
and on up through the year in May, June, July, 
August, September—anytime until severe freezing 
weather again—Becuase they are grown in large 
pots or crocks, there is no closed season for planting 
them. Nursery, field-grown wild root plants must be 
set out not later than April, while they are dormant 
(in storage houses). Read our guarantee. 
Our plants have no wild roots, suckers or shoots 
such as are frequently found in the dormant roses, 
coming from the wild roots. Unless you are exper¬ 
ienced, you will eventually have a wild rose plant.

Preparation of Soil. Now as to their cultivation. 
There has been so much misinformation appearing 
in prominent publications, written by inexperienced 
and alleged specialists who simply know nothing 
whatever about the practical side of rose growing, 
the wonder is that these publications have not done 
what they are now doing generally, refraining from 
printing these out-pourings of “chain” writers, some 
of whom now admit what they have already written 
has been inconsistent. 
(From The" Evening Bulletin—Philadelphia, 
Sept. 12, 1925) 
ROSE GROWING MADE EASY 
Don’t Bother with Budding or Grafting. 
Briar is Always a Nuisance. 
“The common belief that all modern roses 
must be budded or grafted to secure perma¬ 
nent trees is not accurate, says ‘Answers’ 
(England). Roses growing on their own roots 
will give results equal to any produced on 
briars. 
Growing budded roses is a source of endless 
trouble to many novices. The briar grows up 
and the grower, not knowing it from the real 
rose growth, allows it full scope. In a year or 
two the briar has asserted itself, taken full 
control, and nothing but dog roses are pro¬ 
duced. 
With roses on their own roots, there is never 
any of this trouble. Should the bush be cut 
down by frost at any time and the roots not 
harmed, real rosewood is again produced in 
the spring. On the other hand, many ama¬ 
teurs have set out to plant a rose bed and 
secured the best of budded stock but in a year 
or two have had only briars for their trouble. 
With a budded rose you may get more 
vigorous growth, and probably a more robust 
bloom, but give a rose, growing on its own 
roots liberal treatment and it will come in 
first every time. 
The gardener who sets out to grow roses 
on their own roots simplifies his work.”
