ROSES 
A Few Facts About Our Roses 
Our roses are all field grown budded plants 
that have bloomed in the field this season. 
Large two-year plants are well branched, 20 to 
36 inches high, according to variety, before cut¬ 
ting back to ship. Medium two-year plants are 
15 to 24 inches. All plants are well rooted and 
matured. Plants are dug fresh for your order 
the day shipped; this insures you getting heal¬ 
thy plants that are full of life. 
We offer only varieties that have proved good. 
Weak growers and poor bloomers have been dis¬ 
carded, these have been selected from hundreds 
of varieties. 
A trial will convince you that our roses are 
the best you can buy anywhere at any price. 
Club Orders—Get your friends to order with 
you and for each four dozen roses ordered you 
may select one dozen of the same price free of 
charge. When sending these club orders, be 
sure to give the full address of each member of 
the club as we do this to get those who buy 
roses on our mailing list so that we can send 
them our catalogues as issued. 
Shipping season opens October 1st, and closes 
April 1st. Fall and early winter is the best time 
to plant as early planting gives the plant time 
to make new roots before the growing season in 
the Spring. 
Pruning—We cut back all roses before ship¬ 
ping, but after you receive the plants cut back 
any broken roots with a sharp knife and shape 
up the bushes, leaving only the strongest 
branches and cut these back to about six inches. 
Plant a little deeper, about one inch, than they 
were before. Be sure to firm the dirt around 
the plants and water well.
