REMARKS 
As in the past we are offering- only the varieties of roses 
that by observation we have found to thrive in this local¬ 
ity. Many of the newer roses that are put on the market 
here, while they may be entirely satisfactory in other lo¬ 
calities, are not suited to our Southern California climate. 
Each year thousands of second and third grade roses 
are dumped on the market for most anything they will 
bring-—usually from one-half to one-third the price of first 
grade roses. Good roses are an investment. They pay divi¬ 
dends through the years in a wealth of fragrant, colorful 
flowers. At best, cheap roses are a gamble with the chances 
all against, the purchaser. 
For fourteen years we have been growing and selling 
roses in this locality. We know from experience that roses 
raised here grow far better in Southern California than 
roses shipped in from Northern California, Oregon, Wash¬ 
ington or Texas. 
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ROSES ARE BEST FOR 
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! 
If planting in very light soil or in shaded locations, 
some varieties of roses will grow much better than others. 
We’ll be glad to recommend the proper roses for your par¬ 
ticular soil and location.
