After the dormant season, roses cannot be 
handled ‘‘bare root”. They must be planted in 
containers. The prices remain the same, except¬ 
ing that they must be shipped by express, charges 
collect. The dormant season extends from Novem¬ 
ber to A pril. 
The difference in price (aside from Patented varieties 
over which we have no control) is not to be taken as in¬ 
dicating superiority or inferiority of varieties. Many old 
favorites in the 35c group surpass the more recently in¬ 
troduced or more popular 50c group in beauty and gen¬ 
eral satisfaction. 
We grow our own roses at our Highway Nursery, lo¬ 
cated on the El Camino Real, 1)4 miles south of Sunny¬ 
vale toward Santa Clara. Why not visit our fields during 
the Summer months? 
We offer for our discriminating trade, only the most 
carefully selected, graded stock of 2-year old, budded 
CLASSIFICATION

age, mainly single flowered. Often used for hedges 
if trained on wire.

blending of colors, vigor and great hardiness. Many 
have Tea scent very strongly. 
HP (Hybrid Perpetual) Hardy, very resistant to cold. 
Growth vigorous and upright, with long, un¬ 
branched canes. Stems long; flowers borne erect; 
foliage rough; fragrance very distinct.

wonderful group with startling color effects.

Very rampant growth and bloom only in the 
Spring. 
DP (Dwarf Polyantha) Low-growing, the flowers in 
clusters, blooming all Summer.

Foliage very glossy. Bloom continuously. Require 
considerable pruning, good soil, and proper care, 
for which this variety will repay you. 
W (Wichuriana) A trailing Rose. Has long pliable 
shoots which are easily trained. Very hardy and an 
exceptionally heavy bloomer in the Spring months. 
field grown roses. We have a ready market for the light 
grades, elsewhere. 
Our rose bushes are handled as nature intended. They 
are not dug prematurely in full foliage, nor are they in 
any way treated to preserve them. 
We are very careful to bud our roses only on such 
wild understocks as are definitely superior for the vari¬ 
ety. This enables us to offer bushes with a more vigor¬ 
ous constitution, evidenced by an extended season with 
more profuse blooms and long life. 
Every rose guaranteed true to name or your money 
cheerfully refunded or rose replaced, as you wish.
