SHRUB RASES 
These big husky fellows don’t have to be pampered 
nor pruned meticulously nor covered up in the win¬ 
ter time to bloom. No sir! As specimens or right 
alongside other shrubs they present a blaze of glory 
in June, attractive foliage effects all summer long, 
and brilliant autumn foliage and fruits even after 
the first snows are on the ground. 
AGNES. Coppery yellow buds open to pale amber- 
gold. Large shrub, interesting very crinkly leaves. 
$1.00 each. 
DR. ECKENER. Large, very fragrant blooms of 
an enchanting fresh pink color, highlighted with 
coppery orange and gold. Recurrent bloomer. A 
superb new hybrid rugosa; hardy, vigorous grower. 
9 0c each. 
F. J. GROOTENDORST. Small, fringed flowers of 
bright red, produced in large clusters throughout 
the growing season. 7 5c each. 
SIR THOMAS LI ETON. Snowy white flowers of 
good size and unusual quality. 75c each. 
AUSTRIAN COPPER. No shrub attracts more 
attention when in bloom. Single flowers in 
a flashing color combination of intense cop¬ 
per red inside, golden yellow outside. 75c 
each. Extra large 2-3 ft. size, ea., $1.50. 
PERSIAN YELLOW. Produces a large number of 
double yellow flowers in June. 5 5c each. 
HUGONIS. Delicate yellow single flowers produced 
on long arching sprays early in May. 7 5c each. 
RURRIFOLIA. Red-leaf Rose. One of the hardi¬ 
est shrub roses. Purple-red foliage all summer 
beautifully studded with starry pink blossoms in 
June, large bright orange “hips” that hang on all 
winter. 7 5c each. 
Roses will be available until April 20 only. 
After that date they are too far advanced 
to move safely. 
The three biggest costs in the growing of plants 
are water, labor, disease and insect control. My 
water rent has been raised exactly 50 percent. 
Labor costs are constantly higher. Pest control is 
increasingly expensive. 
I have, nevertheless, maintained most prices at 
nearly the level of former years, some at depression 
lows, and even drastically reduced others. (Gladio¬ 
lus are now exactly one-half of last year’s prices. 
See page 10); but I cannot guarantee to hold to 
present listings when current stocks are exliaustec.
