20 ROSES 
State Nursery and Seed Co, 
ROSES 
Our Peerless large one and two-year-old Roses that grow in Montana and the Northwest. All of 
our Iloses listed on this page come to you with a ball of earth at the roots. Thus the root system is un¬ 
disturbed and growth is unchecked. 
Our Rose Plants 
Our prices are prepaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the practice adds materially to the cost of 
delivery, we ship only Rose plants which retain the ball of earth (unless listed without ball) in which 
the plants were grown. This is of great value to our customers because it practically eliminates the 
danger of slow starting or loss of plant due to drying out or other injury to the delicate root system of 
the plants. The only care necessary in planting our Roses is to set them out as soon as practicable 
after delivery, firming the earth tightly around the roots and soaking thoroughly and to take care not 
to disturb the ball of earth around the roots. 
Because of this method of handling our Roses should not be confused or compared with those from 
most firms, since it is a general practice with most nurseries to ship plants from which all earth has 
been washed, greatly increasing the danger of the roots drying' out in transit and of other injuries to 
the plants.
