WHY Fall Planting of Field-Grown ROSES 
FIRST : You obtain better, stronger plants—get 
them in better condition and at materially lower prices 
than in the Spring. 
WHY? Because you will then get first picking of the matured 
crop, and, in the Fall, plants do not fungous or mildew nor start 
into growth in the close atmosphere of the shipping container as 
often occurs in the Spring. 
Plants can then be sold at a lower price than if given the several 
handlings and constant watchfulness that Winter carry-over by 
the nurseryman entails. 
SECOND: Fall-set plants are established in the 
ground when Spring opens, are not so susceptible to 
the vagaries of Spring weather (so pronounced the last 
Two extracts from the rose advice 
writings of the editor of HOUSE & 
GARDEN: 
“This (October) is the time of the year when dor¬ 
mant roses should be ordered from the grower 
and planted. 
“There is a curious notion about, that roses 
should be planted only in the spring. As a matter 
of fact we may expect a greater profusion of 
bloom if the dormant stock is planted at any time 
from October to December than if it is planted at 
any other time of the year.” 
three years), and in both growth and bloom will far 
exceed like plants set out the following Spring. 
PROOF: If you are near enough, come and see our extensive 
last Fall’s and this Spring’s tests, or read the experience herewith 
given of famous amateur growers of wide experience. (Our Fall 
1922 planted beds of Hybrid Teas average, both in growth and 
bloom, fully 60 to'75% ahead of like plants set out this past Spring.) 
Come, too, and see the most remarkable quality crop 
of rose plants (now maturing) existing anywhere in 
this country. 
If you cannot come, send for Fall rose circular and 
reduced price list for Fall 1923 only. 
J. Horace McFarland, editor of THE 
AMERICAN ROSE ANNUAL and author 
of THE ROSE IN AMERICA says: 
“I believe that rose roots function moderately all 
winter and it is because I would like to have them 
get busy for me in my garden that I want the plant¬ 
ing completed in the fall. ... I set this matter out 
thus a second time in the hope that many who 
read will be induced to plant in the fall. 
“To sum it all up, roses may be successfully win¬ 
tered anywhere in America if a few essentials are 
provided and continued.”
