The Largest Rose Growers 
in the World 
Although our stock of Roses for 1916 was sev¬ 
eral hundred thousand more than we ever grew, 
still we sold out early in the season and were 
compelled to turn down orders for three-quarters 
a Roses we could not supply. 
One of our customers in Oregon says: “Several 
years ago we bought your Roses, then we made 
the attempt to grow them ourselves, then again 
we tried the California-grown Roses, but we are 
back with you and we are back to stay. No 
Roses do so well with us as the G. R. Roses. 
We expect to plant more largely of your Roses 
each year.” This is why G. & R. Roses are find¬ 
ing a ready market everywhere they are tried. 
Rose After-Satisfaction 
When you buy G. & R. Roses you get along 
with them the after-satisfaction — that sense of 
realizing all the success that should come from 
planting quality Roses, the knowing that no bet¬ 
ter results are possible to be obtafhed outside of 
G. & R. Roses. It is the after-satisfaction that 
has compelled us to plan to grow for the coming 
season one million additional Roses. Think of 
it, the after-satisfaction of selling six million 
Roses, and demanding a million increase in one 
year. Going some! you say. Yes, but are you 
getting your share of this Rose after-satisfac¬ 
tion? If not, why not? Plant G. & R. quality 
Roses. None better, none so good.

rose-pink with deeper rose-crimson veneering and

FLORENCE FORRESTER (McGredy, 1914)—Clear 
snow-white with a lemon tinge; as the flowers 
age they become a pure white, the blooms are 
even larger than Paul Neyron. Its habit is ab¬ 
solutely perfect, and the freedom with which it 
flowers is marvelous. We consider this Rose the 
grandest of all whites for bedding. For size and 
substance has no equal among Hybrid Teas. Is 
very sweetly perfumed. Gold medal, National 
Rose Society. 
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (Cook, 1914)—An American 
seedling, raised by John Cook. It is a heavy dou¬ 
ble Rose of great substance. In color, red. It 
shows good growing characteristics and is un¬ 
doubtedly a valuable variety. Throughout the 
summer this Rose was unequaled as a cut Rose 
and it is proving equally good in midwinter to 
oe an excellent grower, opening perfectly and 
worthy of unqualified recommendation.
