The Linn County Nurseries 
ROSES 
All plants offered are two-year field-grown bushes. Cut back the top so 
only two or three of the stronger canes are left six inches long, and plant a little 
deeper than they grew. 
QUANTITY PRICES. Almost as much work and expense is used in filling 
and packing an order for one bush as several, so we can give cheaper rates on 
larger quantities. 
On orders for 5 to 12 plants deduct. 5c per plant. 
On orders for 12 or more plants deduct...!.10c per plant.
