ABOUT OUR STOCK 
"•iV 1 
Not what we say, but what others say, voluntarily. Thousands of our friends take the time 
and trouble to write us from all over the world. Here are a few of their letters. If you think you 
can’t have beautiful results, just read these letters from amateurs and beginners. They show 
the high quality of our plants—how easy it is to succeed with them and that they “go and grow’’ 
everywhere.

ful rose bushes which I received from you this 
spring. They arrived in wonderful condition. To say 
I was surprised the way they were shipped would 
be putting it mildly. It seems as if they were 
transplanted from a neighbor’s yard instead of 
travelling hundreds of miles. All the neighbors are 
remarking how wonderfully my roses are growing 
and the beautiful roses they seem to bear. You 
certainly made a rose bug out of me.—K. P., 
Lawrence.
