FOREWORD 
In this catalog we have a collection of Roses 
that represents a good cross-section of the most 
popular varieties on the market. All the older 
Roses have proved their worth through con¬ 
stant demands, and we have added some of the 
newer ones which show promise of being main¬ 
stays. Thus we are enabled by careful selec¬ 
tion to offer to you a well rounded selection of 
staple varieties that will do well in this locality.

Our aim is to give our customers satisfac¬ 
tory service. We will entertain and make ad¬ 
justments for any valid claims made within rea¬ 
sonable time after receipt of plants. 
Roses may be planted in the outside gar¬ 
dens in California at any time of the year, but 
January and February are considered the best 
months.

HATS OFF TO THE NEW ROSES 
You may ask. Why all this talk about new 
roses? Weren't the Roses of grandmother's 
garden beautiful enough for anyone? Most as¬ 
suredly. Then why these new Roses? 
Just because the new Rose creations have 
the qualities of the Rose of 1775, 1860 or the 
Gay Nineties, with something more besides. 
Grandmother had her lovely Tea Roses, but 
she had to cherish them tenderly. Today we 
have the delicacy of the Tea Rose blossom plus 
the vigor of new racial strains, and in addition, 
a color panorama that would send grandmother 
into ecstasies. 
Yes, even the Rose keeps step with the 
march of time. Plant a few new each year 
and enjoy the joy of watching for them to 
bloom.
