ROSES 
There is no group of flowers so lovely and universally popular as ros'es. For orna¬ 
mental effects, in rows or beds, or as climbers for trellis, fence or pergola, they are 
unsurpassed. As cut flowers they have no rival. Fortunately, almost every vareity of 
rose is at home in Texas and the South. We grow our roses in Smith County, Texas, 
where millions of rose bushes are grown every year, and shipped to every part of the 
United States’. We have over 400,000 rose bushes growing under contract, and out of 
this vast multitude of select stock, we pick the finest, strictly No. 1 bushes for 
our own trade. When you buy roses from us, you get the very best that can be grown, 
and only extra selected plants. The varieties listed below, from actual field test, do well 
all over the South and Southwest, where no protection from severe winter weather is 
needed. Do not be misled into buying rose bushes from sources who offer plants at 
ridiculously low prices'; such plants are usually small, weak stock, and even if they 
survive the first summer, they seldom give enough bloom to pay for the ground they 
occupy. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
(1) Prune plants back to three or four canes, six to eight inches long. 
(2) Dig hole big enough to accommodate roots when spread out. 
(3) Set rose bush a little deeper than it grew in Nursery row. Pack dirt firmly, 
water well. 
(4) Mound up dirt to tops of canes' for about ten days, until plants get established. 
This will prevent shriveling.
