ROSES 
Among the flowers known to man, the Rose has always been in a class by itself. For sheer beauty it 
is still supreme, and its fragrance is equally desirable. Whether on the bush, or cut, in a vase or corsage, 
a Rose will always catch the eye. And here in our 1937 Spring Catalogue, we have the honor of offering 
what we believe is the most complete assortment of satisfactory Roses, old and new, that we have ever listed. 
Try any or all of our colorful sorts, this season, and bring a touch of genuine charm into your garden. 
Everblooming Roses (Hybrid Tea Roses) 
By far the most popular of all Roses, the Hyf rid Tea, or Ever! looming sorts, begin their season of bloom 
in early June, and continue in flower until frost is in the ground. We offer below only the best varieties of 
each color, and there are no second-grade Roses included. So pick any or all from our list of this year’s best 
Roses; you will not be disappointed. 
Although hardy, these Roses do best if given some protection in Winter. Simply heap soil to a height 
of 8 inches about each plant in late Fall and remove this guard in early Spring. It will not be much trouble 
and the results will more than repay your few moments work. 
Plant in rich, well drained soil, always in full sunlight. Space about 2 feet apart. 
Especially do we wish to call your attention to our Collections for Spring, 1937; they are the greatest 
that we have ever been able to offer at such low prices. 
All Roses offered are extra strong, 2- to 3-year-old, field grown plants, bound to make a 
splendid display this Summer, and many succeeding Summers. 
Uniform prices for all varieties (unless otherwise noted), heavy, field-grown plants— 
Each 70c., doz. $7.00, 100 $50.00. (Add 10 per cent to remittance if shipment is desired by parcel 
post).
