There are 
all Kinds of 
Rose Plants for Sale 
Some, among others are for sale in department 
and other stores (not Rose growers) and else¬ 
where that have been grown for flowers alone. 
The grower forces these plants at a terrific pace. 
The more flowers he gets the more the plant is 
worth as a producer. When the plant ceases to 
produce at a profit it is thrown out and a new, 
and younger plant takes its place. 
A while back it was the custom to throw these 
plants on the dump. They had served their pur¬ 
pose. Now they are sold at a very low price to 
anyone who wishes to buy them in quantity. 
Some of them may give fair results but they have 
no vigor or vitality and no blooming capacity. 
They are sold without a guarantee usually by 
department and other stores at very low prices. 
Another class of rose plants are sold, some of 
which are good and others of very little value. 
These are dormant, field grown roses on wild 
roots. They have many diseases that require 
spraying and constant attention, making the 
plant very unsightly during the growing season, 
and at best they last but a short time. (See New 
Orleans Times-Picayune clipping.) 
For 41 years we have been growing roses on 
own roots, potted plants, and we believe them 
to be the best in America and in the end lowest 
in price. Winter rested they go to you in full 
vigor ready for immediate blooming and they 
thrive in a marvelous way. 
We have known them to last forty or fifty 
years. They are the most expensive roses to pro¬ 
duce, but we sell them lower in price than the 
average dormant field grown plants, that is a 
plant on wild roots. All in all we believe that 
you will agree with us that these “FAMOUS 
ROSES OF NEW CASTLE’’ are the best and cheap¬ 
est in price in America. We invite you to make a 
comparison. We think that the result will be, 
like thousands of others who have done so, you 
will become a life long friend. 
Of course our roses are sold under a guarantee 
which you should read for your own protection. 
Safe arrival in satisfactory condition or your 
money back or plants replaced. You are the judge 
of the transaction. When you buy roses from 
department or other merchandising stores you 
have no guarantee of any kind. Our suggestion 
is to buy roses from rose growers. That is our 
life business, and we ought to know a great deal 
about it and we do. 
WHY DON’T YOU? 
have your neighbors join you to get the benefit 
of the low price for a dozen two-year-old plants, 
and if your combined orders are sent in (with 
names and addresses) amount to $15.00 or more 
you can have the benefit of a further discount of 
10%. This brings the price of a single two-year- 
old plant to a wholesale price of 49c. We pay 
postage.

The above headlines appeared in The Times-Picayune 
New Orleans States Sunday issue November 24th, 1935: 
A splendid article follows by the correspondent, 
Lady Banksia but what we wish to emphasize is that 
roses on their OWN ROOTS such as we grow are the 
best and last almost indefinitely, while budded and 
grafted stock as stated here stops blooming after three 
or four years. That is why the ROSES OF NEW CASTLE 
continue to be so popular. ALWAYS ON THEIR OWN 
ROOTS, singularly free from disease, low in price, they 
require no petting or coaxing and have splendid health. 
All of which is of vital importance when you are buy¬ 
ing roses. 
WHAT WITH ROSES CAN 
COMPARE ? 
You know, of course, that it’s possible to order 
rose-bushes in the middle of the winter. Merely 
drop your friend a note and say that when spring¬ 
time arrives a glorious rose will arrive for his gar¬ 
den. 
There are roses for all sorts of people. For the 
rock-garden lover you might give a little Rosa 
Rouletti, which grows only 6 inches tall and has 
flowers so small you can almost use a thimble for 
a vase; for the person with a new archway, an 
American Pillar Rose, for it’s the most popular of 
all climbers; for Aunt Carrie, who likes to wear a 
rose to church each Sunday, one of the white 
Hybrid Teas; for the person who has no rose gar¬ 
den, but who would like to have a rosebush that 
would stand adversity, read what the catalog says 
about Ellen Poulsen, for it’s a reliable Baby Rambler 
of startling performance. I cannot stop without 
mentioning President Hoover, a brilliant scarlet 
and yellow. 
NOTE: The above cheering message is written by 
Mr. A. C. Hottes, Associate Editor of Better Homes 
and Cardens, Des Moines, Iowa. 
We carry most every rose worth while and all of 
the above varieties. There may be some roses not 
offered in this book that we have in stock such as 
Rosa Rouletti. We can furnish it and any others 
you may want. Just send your orders. We will send 
your friend a “friendly Rose.’’
