ROSES 
Rose growing- is one of our specialties. We produce large quantities in wide 
assortment. With the exception of a tew of the common climbers, all of our roses 
are low budded on multiflora japonica. which is generally conceded to be the best 
all-around rose understock. The roots of this understock are fibrous and pliable 
and adaptable to most types of soil. Our method of propagating- produces sym¬ 
metrical well balanced plants with short shanks suitable either for pot or garden 
culture. All of our roses are graded carefully according- to the standards of the 
American Association of Nurserymen. 
Look over this list and note the fine assortment, offered.
