There are 
all Kinds of 
Rose Plants for Sale 
Some, among others are for sale in department and 
other stores (not Rose growers) and elsewhere that 
have been grown for flowers alone. The grower forces 
these plants at a terrific pace. The more flowers he 
gets the more the plant is worth as a producer. When 
the plant ceases to produce at a profit it is thrown 
out and a new, and younger plant takes its place. 
A while back it was the custom to throw these 
plants on the dump. They had served their purpose. 
Now they are sold at a very low price to anyone who 
wishes to buy them in quantity. Some of them may 
give fair results but they have no vigor or vitality 
and no blooming capacity. They are sold without a 
gurantee usually by department and other stores at 
very low prices. 
Another class of rose plants are sold, some of which 
are good and others of very little value. These 'are 
dormant, field grown roses on wild roots. They have 
many diseases that require spraying and constant at- 
tion, making the plant very unsightly during the 
growing season, and at best they last but a short 
time. (See New Orleans Times-Picayune clipping.) 
For 40 years we have been growing roses on own 
roots, potted plants, and we believe them to be the 
best in America and in the end lowest in price. Winter 
rested they go to you in full vigor ready for immediate 
blooming and they thrive in a marvelous way. 
We have known them to last forty or fifty years. 
They are the most expensive roses to produce, but 
we sell them lower in price than the average dormant 
field grown plants, that is a plant on wild roots. All 
in all we believe that you will agree with us that these 
“FAMOUS ROSES OF NEW CASTLE” are the 
best and cheapest in price in America. We invite you 
to make a comparison. We think that the result will 
be, like thousands of others who have done so, you 
will become a life long friend. 
Of course our roses are sold under a guarantee 
which you should read for your own protection. Safe 
arrival in satisfactory condition or your money back 
or plants replaced. You are the judge of the transac¬ 
tion. When you buy roses from department or other 
merchandising stores you have no guarantee of any 
kind. Our suggestion is to buy roses from rose growers. 
That is our life business, and we ought to know a great 
deal about it and we do. 
WHY DON’T YOU? 
have your neighbors join you to get the benefit 
of the low price for a dozen two-year-od plants, 
and if your combined orders are sent in (with 
names and addresses) amount to $25.00 or more 
you can have the benefit of a further discount of 
10%. This brings the price of a single two-year- 
old plant to a wholesale price of 49c. We pay 
postage. 
Roses Thrive Better Here 
When Grown on Own Roots, 
Leader Finds After Tests 
Mra. Phul B. Habans, Head of Rose Society, Has Fine- 
Blooming Bushes 17 Years Old; Grafted Stock 
Stops Bearing After Three or Four Years 
By Lady Bvdt*la 
Nearly two year* ago a movement

The above headlines appeared in The Times-Picayune 
New Orleans States Sunday issue November 24th, 1935: 
A splendid article follows by the correspondent, Lady 
Banksia but what we wish to emphasize is that roses on 
their OWN ROOTS such as we grow are the best and last 
almost indefinitely, while budded and grafted stock as 
stated here stops blooming after three or four years. That 
is why the ROSES OF NEW CASTLE continue to be so 
popular. ALWAYS ON THEIR OWN ROOTS, singularly 
free from disease, low in price, they require no petting or 
coaxing and have splendid health. All of which is of vital 
importance when you are buying roses. 
WHAT WITH ROSES CAN 
COMPARE ? 
You know, of course, that it’s possible to order rose¬ 
bushes in the middle of the winter. Merely drop your 
friend a note and say that when springtime arrives a 
glorious rose will arrive for his garden. 
There are roses for all sorts of people. For the rock- 
garden lover you might give a little Rosa rouletti, which 
grows only 6 inches tall and has flowers so small you can 
almost use a thimble for a vase; for the person with a 
new archway, an American Pillar Rose, for it’s the most 
popular of all climbers; for Aunt Carrie, who likes to 
wear a rose to church each Sunday, one of the white 
Hybrid Teas; for the person who has no rose garden, 
but who would like to have a rosebush that would stand 
adversity, read what the catalog says about Else Poul- 
sen, for it’s a reliable Baby Rambler of startling per¬ 
formance. I cannot stop without mentioning President 
Hoover, a brilliant scarlet and yellow. 
NOTE: The above cheering message is written by Mr. 
A. C. Hottes, Associate Editor of 'Better Homes and 
Gardens, Des Moines, Iowa. 
We carry most every rose worth while and all of the 
above varieties. There may be some roses not offered in 
this book that we have in stock such as Rosa rouletti. 
We can furnish it and any others you may want. Just 
send your orders. We will send your friend a “friendly 
Rose. 11 
We have a nice list of Dahlias not offered in this book 
and also a very extended list of PEONIES we can furnish 
to any of our customers interested in these items. We 
would be glad to have you write us about them.
