ALL ROSES LOOK ALIKE 
On paper — but PETERSON ROSES 
are different — superior—and then plus 
They’re the result of many years 
of enthusiastic, painstaking effort 
by one who has made Rose=grow= 
ing a lifelong hobby, passion 
call it^what you will. 
And right here in little Fair 
Lawn, N. J., we are admittedly 
now growing the strongest, finest 
Rose plants the world has ever 
seen. 
“Peterson Roses” have revolu= 
tionized outdoor rose=growing - 
made success rise out of the ashes 
of former failures as thousands 
of enthusiastic patrons all over 
this country and Canada have 
experienced. 
If, this year, you want “real 
roses” in your garden all Summer 
and Fall, send now for a 1914 copy 
of 
“A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT ROSES” 
an exquisite publication dear to the heart of every Rose=lover 
who knows it. 
Sent free to intending purchasers—to anyone on receipt of 
ten cents (to insure appreciation) in coin or in stamps.

Biltmore Roses Possess an 
Individuality all their own 
There is more to Biltmore Roses than stem 
or stalk or blossom — something more than 
leaf or branch. They reflect the care they 
have received; they take on an inspiration 
from the soil and climate, and gather strength 
and vigor from the pure air, the clear skies 
and the heavy rainfalls of the mountain 
regions. When transplanted to your garden 
they flourish and bloom in profusion. Their 
habits are fixed, their customs known, their 
requirements charted by those who have spent 
their lives among them. 
"The Biitmore Rose Book” has just been 
published. It deals exclusively with Roses, is 
the handsomest volume ever issued by any 
nursery, and the most expensive to produce. 
Full page color illustrations and concise 
descriptions give every detail of the various 
Rose species and individual members of the 
Rose family. Many suggestions as to adapt¬ 
ability and the most favorable environment 
to be sought, materially aid the Rose grower 
in making the proper selections. 
A book of some two hundred pages entitled 
“Biltmore Nursery Catalog,” embraces prac¬ 
tically every tree, shrub and plant in cultiva¬ 
tion. It is a permanent publication and one 
which is extremely valuable to persons who 
own homes or estates. 
A volume entitled “Hardy Garden Flowers,” 
and another known as “Flowering Trees and 
Shrubs,” deal with the specimens properly 
coming under the titles, in a manner as to 
leave no further information desirable. A 
booklet called “The Iris Catalog,” tells ex¬ 
clusively of the Iris families, and shows in 
colors true to nature the beauties of this 
popular species. 
Let your wants be known to Biltmore Nursery, or write about your planting plans, and the 
proper book will be mailed to you without charge.
