ROSES 
Order your roses early and plant early, but even if you prefer 
late spring planting again we repeat (order early) and have 
the best stock set aside for you; and if you should be late 
we will have some of the varieties listed here in pots or cans that 
can be planted any time. We only list a few of the old proven 
stand-bys, that are just about as perfect and as fine a rose in 
their shade of color that can be had. Of course we can also supply 
you with the newer varieties when ordered early, and will meet 
the catalogue prices of any reliable well known firm, but do not 
attempt to compete with inferior stock sold at cut rate and so 
called Bargains. Prices grade stock 50c each—-doz $5.00 un¬ 
less noted Second grade 35c—small third grade 20c not always 
available—get the better grades and be satisfied.
