FROM AMERICA’S ROSE HEADQUARTERS 
The old favorites and 
the best of the new 
—at your command 
From the nation's 
largest direct-to-you 
rose firm 
In 1933 and 1934 we planted and exhibited 
the Official Rose Gardens at Chicago’s 
World’s Fair, as America’s Rose Representa¬ 
tive. This showed that roses could be grown 
successfully in the middle west. Hundreds of 
thousands of enthusiastic visitors who saw 
these beautiful gardens will remember them 
for many years. 
You, too, can grow roses. From the East, 
West, North and South we have files full of 
letters telling us of the great success of 
Inter-State roses. We want every home to 
enjoy the beauty, the fragrance, the loveli¬ 
ness of roses, the Queen of all flowers. 
We can offer you these finer roses so reason¬ 
ably because we sell them in such tremendous 
quantities, selling Direct-To-You more roses 
than any nursery in America. The reason for 
this ever increasing business is simply be¬ 
cause we endeavor to put into Inter-State 
roses the utmost value, a value that you 
realize more fully when you see the strong 
growth, the generous bloom, the magnificent 
colors. 
Our roses are hardy, vigorous plants which 
for two years have been grown right out in 
the open fields. We do not handle “Bench 
Roses” (you can always tell them because 
the roots are all curled up) which are simply 
old greenhouse roses which have been dis¬ 
carded by florists as being no good to them 
any longer. Nor do we handle the small, 
green, immature, own root plants which are 
grown in the greenhouse from small cuttings 
in the winter and sold the following spring. 
Both of these type roses can be sold very 
cheaply but THEY POSITIVELY ARE 
NOT AS SATISFACTORY AS TWO 
YEAR FIELD GROWN PLANTS. 
Also there are many grades of two year field 
grown plants. We sell you only the 2 Year 
No. 1 Selected and 2 Year Standard Plants. 
The under-grades are not sold to you. 
Our rose growers are considered the best in 
America. We send you complete planting 
instructions so that even the youngest bride 
who has never planted a rose, can plant 
with success. 
YOU CAN SECURE ROSE SATISFAC¬ 
TION THIS SPRING BY PLANTING 
INTER-STATE ROSES. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY —This famous rose 
has been popular for many generations. Its 
large flowers are a beautiful carmine and 
extremely fragrant. See page 31. 
AMI QUINARD —Each passing year we 
like this rose better. The flowers are graceful, 
semi-double, a rich, very dark crimson- 
maroon. It is unquestionably one of the best 
very dark roses. Free-blooming. 
AUTUMN— A very full rose of striking color, 
orange stained red and pink. In the Iowa 
State College rose test garden last summer 
it was easily one of the best performers. 
BETTY UPRICHARD —The lovely flowers 
of 15 to 20 petals, are salmon-pink inside 
and carmine red outside. They are lavishly 
produced all summer. A hardy, healthy, 
vigorous grower that belongs in every rose 
garden. 
BRIARCLIFF —The lovely pointed buds 
open into large, perfectly formed, fragrant 
flowers of silvery pink. The blooms are 
freely produced and come singly on long 
stems and last a long time. A great garden 
and cutting rose. See page 29. 
CALEDONIA —The exquisite long buds of 
ivory change to purest white as the flowers 
open into large, double blooms of velvety 
texture. A superb rose. See page 34. 
CHARLES K. DOUGLAS —A fine crimson- 
scarlet bedding rose. 
CUBA —Most vivid orange-scarlet. 
DAINTY BESS —Clusters of large, single, 
dainty pink flowers. 
DAME EDITH HELEN —For a prize-win¬ 
ning exhibition rose, this great variety has 
never been surpassed. The large blooms are 
fully double, perfectly shaped, pure pink, 
extremely fragrant. Each flower is so per¬ 
fect that you must not expect too many. 
EDITH NELLIE PERKINS— Easily one of 
the finest roses. Long pointed buds on long 
stems open into perfect flowers of orange- 
cerise outside and inside of salmon over¬ 
spread gold. Grows vigorously and blooms 
freely. See page 35. 
E. G. HILL —Worthy of the great rose name 
it bears, this rose constantly produces beauti¬ 
ful deep crimson buds noted for fragrance 
and form and opening into large, long keep¬ 
ing, very double flowers of enchanting red. 
See page 34. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE —Turn to page 
35 and you will see why this is considered 
one of the greatest red roses ever intro¬ 
duced. Fragrant, free-blooming, well-formed, 
long stems, velvety scarlet.
