)Qo5emont 5 Selected Hybrid Tea Roses 
S O much has been written recently about Texas Roses that we rise 
to defend the growers of the Lone Star State. Texas can produce 
as good Roses as any state in the Union, and with due modesty 
we say that Texas can produce better Roses than some more famous 
sections. For many years Rosemont Nurseries have grown and sold 
only first-grade plants. So have some other Texas growers. If a pur¬ 
chaser chooses to buy cheap plants because they can be bought for a 
few cents, he should not assume that all Texas plants are cheap. A 
quality article, whether it be shoes or hats, radios or ranges, cannot be 
had at cut prices. 
The available supply of good Roses is much lower than for several 
years. Weather conditions in 1936 were responsible; budding could 
not go on as usual. Because of these conditions we carried our bud¬ 
ding operations over a longer season, and therefore, have a reason¬ 
able supply of best-grade plants. 
Please remember that Rosemont Roses are best-grade, 2-year-old, 
low-budded, field-grown plants. We suggest that you read the Guar¬ 
antee on page 2.
