/ am enclosing my order for Offer A- 3 , extra grade, and in 
doing so I want to tell you of my experience of last year. 
Due to the Depression it has been necessary for all of us to 
watch our pennies, with the result that I placed an order with 
one of the large seed bouses for my Rose bushes, as their 
prices were slightly better than yours. I want to say that the 
Roses sent me did not compare with the stock which I have 
been receiving from you, and I trust that I may again receive 
the splendid bushes which you have supplied me in the past.-

Roses Ready for Shipping 
A box of one dozen Peterson Roses partially pruned 
and ready for shipping. The roots are spread out and 
packed in clean sphagnum moss; the tops in excelsior. No 
cramping or squeezing in fancy packages with pretty pic¬ 
tures on the outside. Planting and cultural instructions 
sent with each shipment. These freshly dug, dormant 
plants keep all of their vitality stored up for “doing 
business” this summer. The final result can be only 
one thing—plenty of real good Roses for cutting and 
colorful garden effect.
