IMPORTED PEAT MOSS 
Imported from Germany, Peat Moss has been widely advertised and used 
as a mulch for Roses and other plants all over this country, and we endorse 
this material as a mulch if it is coarse enough to allow the air to circulate 
through it. Any mulch which packs down solid and does not allow free 
circulation of air through it is a failure. Therefore, in using Peat Moss as a 
mulch we advise a very coarse quality. Frequent dressings of Hydrated 
Lime to curb the tendency to acidity will be of great benefit. 
Peat Moss mulch should always be removed in the winter and replaced in 
the late spring. As the only object of a mulch is to prevent evaporation of 
the moisture from the soil and evaporation is very slow when the soil is 
cool. Its real benefit is apparent only during hot weather. 
We carry in stock both the coarse and fine grain. We recommend the coarse 
grain for Roses. prices

OUR ROSE SHOWS 
From May 20th until freezing weather in the fall, we have in our Cloverset 
Rose Gardens, one continuous Rose Show, where thousands of the finest 
Roses ever grown are always in bloom and awaiting your inspection. As 
our gardens are lighted at night, and plenty of seats are provided for your 
comfort, we invite you at all times, during the season, to bring your friends 
and enjoy the wonderful sight we offer. In addition to the big gardens, you 
will find small sample gardens, offering suggestions as to what can be 
done with Roses in small back door yards. 
We plant Rose Gardens all in bloom anytime, even in the hottest weather. 
Out of town Rose lovers, as well as Garden Clubs, are especially invited 
to spend the day with us, Sundays or week days. 
Special Rose Shows are held May 20th to June 20th, and September 20th to 
November 1st, each year. 
You are especially invited. 
HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
We grow nearly 100 varieties of Rock Garden and other Hardy Perennial or Old 
Fashion Garden Plants. A visit to our Rock Garden and our Perennial Garden will 
be very interesting to you. You are invited to come any time.
