C^IR, or Madam, 
In presenting our Rose Catalogue for the present Autumn, .incl the Spring of 1915. we take 
the opportunity to thank you for your patronage in the past, and trust your confidence in the 
quality of our productions has been sufficiently maintained to warrant the solicitation of your esteemed 
commands in the future. 
We have the finest stock of plants we have ever had to offer, with l.u g< he nh and abundant fibrous 
roots, but the demand for some varieties not infrequently exceeds the supple, a I her this reason we 
suggest that your order be placed .with as little delay as possible, so that the pi.nils may be selected 
and reserved for delivery at your convenience. 
Situated in an elevated position, exposed to the East Coast, and gown without the aid of any 
artificial manures—a fact, the importance of which, we are confident our enst cm 1 . will uppi ec late when 
deciding where to place their orders—our plants are so thoroughly ripened lhai th< \ will li.mspl.mt with 
perfect safety, and will, we are confident, thrive to your entire satisfaction.

disposal of our clients, or those who are in any way interested in the Queen 01 I l<>»vei •>, and for a small fee 
we shall be pleased to send an expert to any part of the country to advise on 11 >« <pot, where soil, aspect, 
and climate can be considered. 
Our export trade has grown so enormously that we now have a special stall <d expert packers, whose 
work is so thoroughly executed that we take all risk of delivery, the numerous annual unsolicited 
testimonials received from our customers in America, Canada, Russia, Auxtciu |upuu, India, Australia, New 
Zealand, and in fact all the world over, testifying to the success of our met ho I - 
We have again maintained our reputation at all the leading shows, h it 1 lor exhibition and decorative 
roses, and our successes include the Gold Medal of the Royal Horticultural So. letv at Chelsea, for the third 
year in succession (perhaps the most coveted of all honours), the Champion ( h.illciige I rophy of the National 
Rose Society, for decorative roses, and the Silver Gilt Medal at Holland Hmise, and many other medals and 
cups at the leading provincial exhibitions too numerous to mention. 
We endeavour to treat our customers liberally, and when the selection of sorts is left to us we 
include only varieties of sterling merit at less than individual catalogue pi ices 
To those who are not conversant with the manners and customs of each rose, we recommend that 
the selection of varieties be left in our h mds, simply stating the dominating functions they will be required 
to perform and a slight description of the soil in which they will be planted, and the position they 
will occupy. 
In supplying the best articles at a reasonable price, we confidently ask your patronage and 
recommendation to friends, and you may feel assured your interests will at all times receive our best 
care and attention. 
Yours very obediently,
