ROSES 
The world’s choicest dependable Roses, correctly grown and prepared for ship¬ 
ment to you, by a firm with 34 years of rose specialization. For years our Roses have 
given satisfaction to our many customers who value the fact that wej are content to 
grow and send out only the strongest, sturdiest, field grown rose bushes that it is 
possible to produce by modem methods. We like Roses and derive a great deal of 
pleasure from growing them, and we send out to our customers only bushes that will 
give them the same pleasure and satisfaction. 
All of our Roses are budded on Rosa Multiflora Japonica and Rosa Canina 
understocks, except a few of the climbers. The multiflora understock makes the more 
fiberous root system, being fine in appearance and easy to pack and handle. In light 
sweet soils where moisture is plentifully supplied with good drainage, multiflora can¬ 
not be improved upon. The Canina understock is the most tenacious understock yet 
developed; having stiff strong roots which thrive under somewhat adverse conditions. 
For black waxy soils it cannot be excelled. Where drouthy conditions exist or ex¬ 
cessive moisture prevails or in soils overbalanced with some mineral content, the canina 
understock will give you better service. 
Our roses are grown on soil and under climatic conditions which are recog¬ 
nized by the rose world as the very best to produce well rooted, strong, free-blooming 
plants. Our strong first grade plants are in many instances twice as large at half the 
price of plants grown in the North and East. Do not confuse our high quality plants 
with small or second grade plants sold by dealers who sell them as “just rose-bushes,” 
with a price attraction, but no quality guarantee. Our first grade plants are brought 
to you at the lowest possible for dependable merchandise by a firm that is here 
to serve its customers through the years. Remember that roses vary in growth char¬ 
acteristics, some growing more dwarf with smaller canes than others. 
We are offering this year, along with our No. 1 first grade plants which are 
the best to be had, medium grade plants which are good stocky plants for the rose 
lovers who feel they cannot afford to pay more for the first grade plants, but want a 
lovely rose garden. We earnestly recommend the first grade plants as the better value.

If one hundred or more roses are ordered at one time by Garden Clubs, groups 
of people or individuals (in multiples of not less than ten of any one variety) we will 
be glad to quote special prices that will mean a substantial saving. The larger the 
order, the less per unit cost, as office expense, packing and handling of small orders 
is about as much as for large orders.
