Potted Roses for May and June Planting 
Peterson Potted Roses are mature, field-grown plants that have been put into 6-inch 
pots and carried over the winter in deep coldframes. They are then specially handled 
for late spring and early summer planting, so there are none finer to fill in vacancies in 
your garden. They will be growing and may even be in bud when you receive them, but 
may still be planted with absolute safety. Orders received too late in the spring season 
for planting dormant stock will be filled with potted plants sent by express in waterproof 
paper pots. 
Customers driving to the nursery to take plants with them will find a good supply 
available in May and June. Many will be in bud, some in bloom, so the selection of varie¬ 
ties is made easy. 
As the season advances, certain varieties we offer may become sold out. I Iowever, 
when requested or given permission to assist you with the selection, you will always 
receive more than full value. Prices will be the same as for dormant stock. 
259 Summer St., Boston, Mass., January 9, 1935 
/ am very pleased to inform you that the 30 Rose plants which I purchased from you last April gave 
real satisfaction in every way. The blooms were large, rich in color as well as smell. We had Roses in 
the house from about the middle of June until late in the fall. The plants have now been cut hack and 
are properly covered, and I am anticipating that this year we will have even better success than last year. 
I might add that the dozen Rose plants which you sent to me in December are now in my greenhouse and 
doing beautifully. I believe that in less than two weeks' time I will be able to pick some blooms for the 
house .—J. B. Russell. [Ed. Note: The dozen Roses referred to are regular field-grown plants 
used for forcing.] 
19 Kingsbury Place, St. Louis, Mo., October 11, 1934 
Will you send me two dozen Rose plants, your own selection that you think will do well in this climate? 
You did this last year and it worked out beautifully—and after an exceptionally trying summer they 
are blooming their heads off .— Mrs. H. M. Pflager. 
590 South St., East Aurora, N. Y., October 4, 1934 
In spite of last winter’s terrible cold I did not lose one Peterson Rose, and I have many of them .— 
Mrs. William D. Young. 
23 Chipman St., Dorchester, Mass., October 17, 1934 
All of the Roses came through the severe winter very well indeed and gave us great satisfaction and 
joy. The single Peonies were all that we could wish and attracted much attention .— Joseph A. Teixeira. 
Pond Rd., Wellesley, Mass., October 19, 1934 
The plants arrived safely and are very fine specimens. Thank you .— Mrs. Henry S. Hunnewell.
