PLANT 
DORMANT ROSES 
NOW 
April is the month of months to plant dormant, field- 
grown roses. We do not send out potted plants, and so 
this is the last month in which we can ship roses. 
Beware of large potted plants, which means that the 
roots will all be coiled up in a ball and cannot spread out 
and develop properly. The proper arrangement of roots 
is vitally essential to the continued growth and development 
of the plant. 
Our strong, field-grown plants, winter-rested in Nature’s 
own way and which have never even seen a greenhouse, are 
the result of a lifelong and enthusiastic devotion to the rose. 
May we send you a free copy of 
“A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT ROSES” 
the most helpful and beautiful rose catalogue published? 
A RECENT COMMENT 
"I think ‘A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT ROSES’ for this year is 
your masterpiece. You speak very clearly on the subject and 
make it easy for those who are in the dark as to just the cor¬ 
rect way to grow good roses and take care of them.”

FOR YOUR SPRING PLANTING 
May we suggest the eight groups below, as an ideal assortment for 
immediate planting. 
For best results these groups should be planted at the first thawing 
of the ground, and we therefore advise that you do your ordering 
now, in order to insure the best selection of stock and timely delivery. 
Kindly notice that the group prices are considerably below the 
immediate planting?
