SUPERIOR ROSES

MERMAID 
AUTUMN 
Paul J. Howard’s Rose bushes are 
noted for their extreme vigor and 
robust growth. This is because our 
carefully selected bud-wood is 
grown on special root-stocks which 
impart extra strength to the tops. 
We then select from our fields the 
two-year-old bushes which have 
made the greatest development— 
the ones that have the most vital¬ 
ity and will continue to be the most 
robust when transplanted to the 
Rose-garden. 
Order Your Roses Early 
Dormant Roses should be planted as early as possible. January and 
February, their naturally dormant period, are the best months for plant¬ 
ing; after March 1 they should be allowed to make their growth, as after 
that date they will lose much of their vitality unless planted either in the 
ground or in large containers. If you cannot plant before that date, be 
sure to obtain our large bushes established in large containers. They are 
the superior bushes, selected early in the season and planted in especially 
prepared soil before they have started to make new growth, and are the 
finest established roses obtainable. They cannot be compared to the ordi¬ 
nary bushes usually offered after the dormant planting season is past. 
Those who prefer to select their roses while in bloom may obtain 
Paul J. Howard’s superior established bushes at prices only slightly more 
than for the best dormant plants.
