Pointing the Way to Rose-Success 
It affords us much pleasure to quote from a few of 
the many unsolicited letters received since last autumn. 
We cannot help feeling how much these voluntary ex¬ 
pressions should mean to the prospective planter who 
has not yet learned about Peterson Roses. Permission 
to quote from letters of record has been granted in July, 
when the real test for Roses comes. 
105 Holly St., Cranford, N. J., April 24, 1934. 
I wish to thank and compliment you on the fine Roses you 
sent me. Your stock always seems to be better than stock 
from other growers .-—O. K. H. 
“The House in the Woods,” Botsford Road, Kent, Conn., 
April 6, 1934. 
The 8 Rose bushes I bought jrom you last April are all 
alive; last summer they gave me 162 blossoms .—Mrs. A. H. 
162 Adams St., Milton, Mass., April 10, 1934. 
I wish to attest to the excellence of the bushes sent me. I 
could truthfully say much more about your Roses .—J. B. 
Lee, Mass., April 30, 1934. 
I find that all of the 30 Roses that I put in here last fall 
have lived through the most severe winter that the Berkshires 
have ever seen—below zero many days at a time .—Mrs. A. R. S. 
340 Greenwich St., Reading, Pa., April 26, 1934. 
I now can see the difference betiveen spring and fall plant¬ 
ing. My plants are way ahead of others in my neighborhood. 
1 can also see the difference between good and poor plants. 
Only 4 of my 6 o-some plants had to be cut back to the bud, 
and we certainly had a severe winter .—E. V. 
79 Griswold, Walton, N. Y., May 23, 1934. 
I have over 40 Roses, all purchased from you. After the 
severest winter I have experienced in many years, I attribute 
my success to your superior plants, rather than the care I 
gave them. It is always a pleasure to be a “Peterson 
Booster .”—W. D. B. 
89 Renouf Drive, Coldwater, N. Y., April 17, 1934. 
You will be interested to know that the bushes I secured 
from you last fall are in splendid condition, and I am sure 
we will be more than pleased with them .—G. D. B. 
185 N. Perry, Pontiac, Mich., April 4, 1934. 
I have had a great deal of pleasure from my Peterson 
Roses—might add it’s the only investment made that has 
paid dividends the past four years .-—Mrs. R. J. C. 
Bethlehem, Pa., December 3, 1933. 
All of the 11 plants were in fine condition when received 
in early November and were planted at once, in strict accord¬ 
ance with your rules. 
June 4, 1934. 
I wish you people could take a peep at our small Rose- 
garden in Fountain Hill. We now have 63 Rose bushes, but 
for sheer, exquisite beauty and color I have never seen any¬ 
thing surpassing our blooms, and I have seen many beautiful 
Roses in much larger gardens than ours. 
After the severest winter in the Lehigh Valley in at least 
60 years, we were obliged to cut down the canes to within 
2 and 3 inches of the ground. Soon the miracle began, and 
you should see the shoots that came up, each topped with 
good-sized buds. Our beautiful Rose-garden, therefore, becomes 
a living advertisement for your fine sturdy stock.— E. M. H.
