CLOVERSET PLANTED ROSES 
You Can Replant Them in Full Bloom and Presto! Your Rose Garden Is Complete 
the Same Day You Buy It 
Undoubtedly the greatest innovation ever 
offered the Rose buyer is the invention of the 
Cloverset Rose Pot, which enables us to offer 
our Roses already growing and blooming. 
This new and modern way of selling 
Roses eliminates all danger of the plants 
not starting after being replanted in your 
garden, and insures the buyer of getting 
exactly the Rose desired. 
These planted Roses are growing in our 
Cloverset Pots and are planted in specially 
prepared Rose soil, heavily fertilized to insure 
rapid and permanent growth and bloom. They 
weigh 12 to 14 pounds each or about 160 
pounds per dozen. 
The acquisition of about 160 pounds of 
suitable soil with each dozen Roses sold, 
entirely disposes of all question as to the 
adaptability of your own garden soil to 
growing Roses, and insures success even 
when planted in soil unsuitable for them. As 
160 pounds of your own soil is discarded when 
one dozen Cloverset Planted Roses are replant* 
ed in your garden, and as one dozen Roses 
spaced 16 inches apart each way (which is 
the proper planting plan for best results) re¬ 
quires only a space or bed 3P2 feet by 6 
feet, the addition of 160 pounds of prepared 
Rose soil to such a small space radically 
changes the nature of the original soil and 
starts you out right for successful Rose grow¬ 
ing. 
As our CLOVERSET PLANTED ROSES are 
delivered to you properly planted in our Clov¬ 
erset Pots, and in full foliage and in vigor¬ 
ous growing condition, we overcome the most 
serious loss to the Rose buyer, viz., improper 
planting and improper care of dormant Roses 
immediately after planting, which are the chief 
causes of failure in Rose growing. By our 
modern method of furnishing you our plants 
already started and in full foliage, and later, 
in full bloom, we take the responsibility of the 
early handling of them, and furnish them to 
you as a finished plant ready to give you en¬ 
tire satisfaction in your garden, and as you 
are invited to select each individual plant out 
of our cold frames, we enable you to select 
only the most vigorous and healthy plants 
among hundreds of the same sort. 
Our Cloverset Planted Roses do not require 
immediate replanting. They may be kept 
growing in our Pots until such time as is con¬ 
venient for final replanting. They will grow 
and bloom just as well in the containers as 
they do in the ground. 
Replanting our Cloverset Planted Roses is a 
very simple task indeed. After the perman¬ 
ent bed is located, and soil properly prepared 
as described in the following directions in this 
catalog, the hole, about 12 inches in diameter 
and of proper depth is dug, the Pot is remov¬ 
ed from the Rose plant and the plant is then 
set in the bed, without injury to the root sys¬ 
tem and consequently with no disturbance to 
the foliage or buds. 
Cloverset Planted Roses can be replanted in 
your Rose garden any time during the grow¬ 
ing season, spring, summer or fall, without 
even showing the slightest wilt to either foli¬ 
age. buds or blooms. 
We will have here in our Rose gardens at 
Cloverset Farm in April, 1938, about 150 dif¬ 
ferent varieties, all growing and blooming in 
our containers. You are invited to visit our 
gardens any time and select your plants for 
your own garden, picking out our best and 
largest roses. 
You, your family and your friends are in¬ 
vited to visit our gardens any time during the 
summer and see the thousands of lovely Roses 
in full bloom at all times.
