WAXAHACHIE NURSERY, WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS 
ROSES 
Everybody loves Roses. With delicate perfume and soft rLh tints of red, white, pink and yellow; with fragrant velvety 
petals; with great profusion of bloom and generally vigorous growth, the rose has remained in popular favor for centuries. 
Success in growing roses is largely a matter of how the bushes are grown. Bushes grown in pots in greenhouses are not 
hardy enough to withstand outdoor conditions. Also bushes grown in soil not adapted to their growing, and in climates not 
suitable for their proper development, are unfit for outdoor growing. “Bargain-counter” roses have been a source of much 
discouragement and disappointment to planters, who seem slow in finding out that cheapness does not consist in what you 
pay, but what you get for what you pay. 
In and around Tyler, Texas, where we grow our roses, nearly ten million plants are grown annually. We would say that 
one-half of these plants are poorly grown by people who know little about rose-growing. These “scrub” roses find their way 
to market through conspicuous newspaper, radio and other methods of advertising; “cheapness” being their hue and cry. But 
they are not cheap. They are dear at any price. When you see roses advertised at ridiculously low prices, you may be sure 
that they are worthless. 
We are not the only people who grow and sell good roses; many other growers sell just as good roses as we do. But we do 
grow and sell strong, healthy plants, true to label, and guarantee every one of them to live, and will replace free of charge any 
that does not live, or is not true to name. This is your insurance against those “cheap” roses so generally advertised. We do 
think our packing is a little better than other dealers. By using sphagnum moss, cypress shingle-tow, heavy kraft paper and 
securely packing and wrapping each bundle, we can get roses to you just as fresh and nice as they come from the field, and 
this is what you may expect when you order from us; otherwise the roses should be returned to us, and we will refund your money. 
All our roses are 2-year field grown, budded on Multiflora Japonica, and this produces the best rose plant that scientific 
growing has yet devised. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
(1) Prune back to three or four stems, 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 stems for about ten days, until plants get established. This will prevent stems from shriveling.
