Gentlemen:— 
I am glad to inform you that most of the 
Roses secured from you last spring, as well 
as those of former years, have done splen¬ 
didly this year, in spite of the most unfav¬ 
orable season. 
My losses have only been about 60 out of 
more than 400, and most of these losses were 
some “fancy” roses of untried merit for this 
locality, purchased from one of the largest 
and most known growers in the East. 
This convinces me that your roses are 
hardier, better rooted, more carefully select¬ 
ed and eminently better suited to this local- 
tiy, condition of soil and climate than either 
the eastern, northern, southern or western 
grown specimens, and that unless in some 
rare instance of a special variety, I shall 
make all my replacements as well as addi¬ 
tions from your fine specimens and tried 
varieties which you have so splendidly grown 
and carefully selected for use in my rose 
gardens here in the yard of the Masonic Temple, 
and I wish to thank every member of your effi¬ 
cient force of gardeners for the fine contribution 
of service, not only to me personally, but to the 
Order as well as to the community in general, 
whose continued admiration of your product is 
our greatest joy and satisfaction. 
Thanking you for the many kind considera¬ 
tions, the splendid counsel, as well as the super- 
service, I am Sincerely yours,

flowers. They blossom in profusion in June and show some flowers through¬ 
out the season. 2-yr., 2 to 3 ft., 35c each; 3 for $1.00, not prepaid. 
FLORIBUNDA. Of all shrubs of late creation, the everblooming red Weigela 
floribunda surpasses everything in a red-flowering shrub. Much hardier than 
Eva Rathke and a better red flower. The flowers commence blooming early 
in the spring and bloom profusely all summer long. The leaves are a glossy 
green and when the shrub is three years old the flowers are in such profuse 
clusters as to completely hide the leaves. Every customer should find a place 
for one to three of these beautiful shrubs in their border plantings. 2-yr., 
2 to 3 ft., 35c each; 3 for $1.00, not prepaid.
