Outdoor Bedding Roses 
PERPETUAL BLOOMERS 
Clean, healthy plants in 2J/4-tnch pots. See prices on index page 16. 
We make a specialty of Roses for Nursery Planting, producing close to a million a year; 
these are propagated in frames in the summer, once repotted, and held cold through the winter. 
The quality will please the most critical. 
We invite inspection and urge the early placing of orders. The improvement in varieties 
through the introduction of strong-growing, free-flowering Hybrid Teas has wrought a wonder¬ 
ful change, and we claim the best collection in the country as we import and test all the best 
novelties each year.
