Hardy Roses 
B. F. BARR NURSERIES, LANCASTER, PA. 
Barr’s “Pot-Perfected” Roses 
Highly V igorous Plants Developed in Pots; in Buds or Bloom 
When You Receive Them. 
In spring planting the best results with Roses, experience teaches, is with Potted 
Plants. Barr’s “Will Grow” Field-Grown Roses have been started in pots where they have 
had opportunity to develop vigor and root systems full of vitality. When you receive them 
they will be in bud or bloom. Ready to set out after April 10. 
What Are Pot-Perfected Rose Plants? 
When the plant-expert wants to develop a strongly 
rooted, extra-vigorous plant he puts it into a pot to 
encourage and control root-formation. This unique 
process is used in growing Barr's Hardy Rose Plants. 
Such plants must exceed in vigor the dormant, 
dried-out “bargain” plants from cold storage where 
Natality is lost and growth often lastingly checked. 
Barr’s Hardy Roses are largest grade known in 
the trade, outside of exhausted greenhouse plants 
often cheaply sold. Each has two to three or more 
heavy canes properly cut back; the roots carefully 
“de-eyed” to prevent wild shoots. We guarantee 
these hardy Roses to start blooming soon after 
you plant them. 
Where early planting is not possible, potted 
plants are the late planter’s only resort. Then, 
too, it is not necessary to plant them out so early 
as to run chances of injury by freezing.

“Will Grow” Rose Bushes Are 
Extra Large, 2 yr. Plants 
Barr’s “Will Grow’’ Rose Plants are the largest 
grade in the trade and known as 2 yr.. No. 1. They 
have two to three or more heavy canes properly cut 
hack when potted and have been “de-eyed” to prevent 
wild growth. The medium grades commonly sold for 
a price have fewer and lighter canes. 
Being low-grafted, “Will Grow” Roses are stronger 
rooted, hardier and more profuse bloomers than 
“own-root” plants. For permanence, too, grafted 
plants are the better. See Planting Directions on 
Page 33. 
Due to the size and weight of these plants, ship¬ 
ment by parcel post is not recommended, except when 
less than five plants are ordered. If wanted by parcel 
post prepaid, see Parcel Post charges on Page 33.
