ABOUT OUR STOCK 
Here are a few letters taken from thousands of testimonials received from all over the world. 
Truly, our roses “go and grow” everywhere. No better evidence of the high character of our 
goods can be given than these expressions of satisfaction, for which we are very grateful. We wish 
we might publish all we receive. 
Siam—I beg to acknowledge receipt of roses, phlox, 
etc. I am glad to say all are 0. K. Only three plants 
were a little wilted.—Phra Khun Byubatwa, 
Grand Palace, Bangkok. 
NOTE—The above testimonial from the Grand 
Chamberlain of the King of Siam, speaks for itself. 
Goods on the way 2 months speaks highly of our 
packing. We are glad to number the King of Siam 
among our customers.—H. B. Co. 
S. W. Africa—Roses sent me were just a day short 
of two months en route. I am delighted to report 
they are growing fine.—Dr. Catharine Mabie, 
Congo Beige, S. W. Africa. 
Ohio—I received your Jeannette Heller rose bush 
and it looked so nice I cannot resist ordering 
another. The Talisman is doing fine.—C. S., 
Toledo. 
Ohio—The-Jeannette Heller and Pride of New 
Castle were in perfect condition when received 
and far surpassed my expectations.—Mrs. K., 
Canton. 
Virginia—Had the pleasure of viewing a garden of 
your rose, Jeannette Heller and they are truly 
a remarkable rose.—I. S. M., Norfolk. 
Minnesota—The 160 roses arrived in fine shape. 
—N. N. 0., Cambridge. 
Georgia—I have been buying your roses and like 
them because they grow from their own roots. 
—Mrs. J. H. M., Daton. 
Indiana—Pink Radiance purchased from you is 
very pretty and healthy in spite of the protracted 
dry weather. I am more than pleased with it. 
—Mrs. C. I., Logansport. 
New Hampshire—The splendid rose bushes you 
sent me last spring have bloomed all summer long 
and when the heavy frost came, there were still 
buds. I never expected to have such beautiful 
roses as I have had this season. I have had my 
money’s worth.—E. T. R., Alton. 
Colorado—I purchased some roses from you twelve 
years ago and they are still giving beautiful 
flowers each year and winning prizes at Flower 
Shows.—Mrs. C. H. K., Glen wood Springs. 
Kansas—David O. Dodd came lovely and will 
want more of them in the spring; it has turned 
out to be a wonderful rose and so many that saw 
it this summer are going to send for it next spring. 
—Mrs. R., Parsons. 
Texas—Our one year plants are all living. At first 
the Pride of New Castle and Baby Doll seemed 
delicate, but they soon out-classed my grafted 
and budded roses and were a delight of blooms 
until freezing weather. Even now Jeannette Heller, 
in spite of a February freeze is full of gorgeous 
buds. Your own root roses are much more satis¬ 
factory than budded or grafted ones. The best 
feature is that freezing weather may kill the tops, 
but they come back true from the roots, while 
budded and grafted plants come back as wild 
roses.—Mrs. J. R. H., Carthage. 
Wyoming—We have a discouraging climate for 
roses, but I must say that your plants do better 
here than any others I have tried. I believe you 
have the right system in pot-grown roses. Of 
course we have to protect as our winters are 
pretty rough, but I find that fall planted do better 
than spring planted, but of course they must be 
pot-grown.—H. F., Cheyenne. 
Washington—The roses you sent me are all growing 
fine.—Mrs. C. T. O., Yakima. 
Mexico—Several months ago, we ordered some 
roses from you. In spite of the long distance, they 
were received in the best of condition and have 
been giving wonderful results. We do appreciate 
your prompt attention and selection.—J. D., 
Tamazunchale, Sip. 
“Pride of New Castle,” planted last spring, 
while it is a small bush but Oh Boy; such roses. 
It’s fit for the gods, and such flowers.—W. R. B., 
Minneapolis, Minn. 
“Pride of New Castle” is as high as my waist 
and in bloom. You have the world beaten for 
roses.” Mrs. Tom Tindle, Fredonia, Kansas. 
“My ‘Pride of New Castle’ is covered with blos¬ 
soms. It is the most gorgeous thing I have ever 
seen.”—Mrs. J. S., Clinton, Iowa. 
“I have your ‘Pride of New Castle’ and it is my 
pride too. Your roses are wonderful.”—Mrs. D. S., 
Barberton, Ohio.
