EAST TEXAS, TWO-YEAR-OLD, FIELD GROWN, BUDDED, DORMANT ROSES 
-— — [■<>.. 
Important Information—I W ant You to Read It 
More Blooms the First Season 
You will get more blooms the first 
season from my roses because they have 
the inborn strength to produce them. 
They have had bred into them vigor and 
vitality from two long-growing seasons, 
allowing them to grow slowly, and con¬ 
sistently, so that they are seasoned 
and hardened—their hardiness has been 
tested by weather well below zero with 
no protection out in the open field—their 
strength and vitality and resourcefulness 
have all been tested by the hot sun of 
long summer days, going well over a 
hundred in the shade—and going for 
weeks without rainfall or artificial 
watering, as well as for weeks in rainy 
seasons with nothing but rain. 
Have no fear that my roses are not 
thoroughly dormant. They are kept un¬ 
der the latest, most scientific methods 
approved by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture experts subject to shipment 
right up to May 1st. 
Where My Roses Come From 
It is my honest opinion that my roses 
are remarkable bargains. They are big, 
hardy, exceptionally well-rooted stock 
from East Texas, the most fertile rose 
growing section of the United States, 
producing millions annually, now grow¬ 
ing and proving hardy and free-flower¬ 
ing in every State of the Union. 
Shipped Fresh, Direct From Nursery To You—Painstakingly 
Pruned, Graded and Packed 
EACH AND EVERY PLANT IS 
HAND PRUNED BY EXPERTS. They 
are rushed fresh and full of vitality di¬ 
rect from the nursery to your garden. 
They are packed by experts in the latest 
and most modem manner, so they will 
arrive in the finest condition, ready to 
put in the ground, anxious to burst into 
bloom within a few weeks to fulfill your 
fondest expectations by their entrancing 
beauty and fragrance. There is nothing 
so beautiful and fragrant as a rose. 
Great care is exercised at all times to 
insure each plant being true to name.
