^^Deterson Roses 
* ARE THE JEWELS 
OF A GARDEN 
M OST ambitious and successful gardeners realize that Roses add a touch 
of beauty and romance to the garden that is quite without equal in 
any other flower. Perhaps your fondest dreams of cutting long-stemmed, 
sweet-scented beauties may not yet have come true, although we in the Rose¬ 
growing business know pretty well the reasons why. Aside from the improper 
choice of varieties, it is more often the small inferior plants of questionable 
health and vigor, sold on a price basis alone, that cause disappointment. This 
has undoubtedly given the erroneous but general conception that good Roses 
are also difficult to grow. 
During over 32 years of Rose experience, we have actually started thousands 
of home gardeners on the road to successful Rose-culture. No matter what 
your previous experience has been, we positively make it easy for you to thor¬ 
oughly enjoy the finest Rose-beauty in your garden and home. The cost in the 
end is very reasonable indeed. Not only do we supply you with the most vigor¬ 
ous and hardiest plants to begin with, but we follow through with the best 
information you can get anywhere. 
As true Rose Specialists, it is not our ambition, aim, or desire to grow Roses 
by the hundreds of thousands. That would necessitate an organization obliged 
to function like a machine and make it utterly impossible to give the personal 
attention to little details so essential in the plant business. The House of Peterson 
has long enjoyed a reputation for giving the buyer something besides good 
Roses; that “something” may take the form of fair and honest dealing, fair 
adjustments, and a conscientious and prompt answer to all those who seek 
special information on the Rose. It is that “something” which the prospective 
buyer should consider very seriously before placing an order.

The Roses were received in good condition and are in fine shape now. My Roses have never looked 
better than they do this year. I am going to have many beautijul blooms .— Mrs. F. W. Prentice.

In my twenty years’ experience with you I have never received a poor-looking Rose bush. I bad no 
fatalities last spring and bad wonderful bloom, as I always do. —Dr. E. C. Hough. 
Glendale, L. I., N. Y., May 21, 1935 
The dormant plants you sent me last fall are wonderful, every one in full bud. My motto is “Peter¬ 
son’s Roses or none at all .”— M. D. Christiana.
