Roses for Fall Planting 
Dormant Hardy Roses can be supplied from October to December 1 
We have decided to ofTer Dormant Roses for fall delivery only, as we find many of our customers delay ordering: in the spring until 
it Is too late to plant. It Is important In planting Dormant Roses to cut them well hack; one-half the tops should be cut off when 
planted In the fall, and any wood that winter-kills should be cut off early in the spring. 
The varieties of Roses now olTered are Innumerable, and this great list is added to every year by a host of new varieties which make 
an Intelligent selection or varieties impossible to most buyers. We have reduced our lists to a few of the very best varieties, and no 
one can make a mistake in selecting any of the sorts offered. 
Hybrid Tea and Tea Roses should be planted in the spring, and a selection of the best varieties Is olTered in our Spring Catalogue. 
Prices, except where noted, for strong 2-year field-grown plants, 75c each; $8.00 per 12.
