Potted Roses for May and 
June Planting 
Peterson Potted Roses are mature, field- 
grown plants that have been put into 6-inch 
pots and carried over the winter in deep cold- 
frames. They are then specially handled for 
late spring and early summer planting, so 
there are none finer to fill in vacancies in your 
garden. They will be growing and may even 
be in bud when you receive them, but may 
still be planted with absolute safety. Orders 
received too late in the spring season for 
planting dormant stock will be filled with 
potted plants sent by express collect in water¬ 
proof paper pots. 
Customers driving to the nursery to take 
plants with them will find a good supply avail¬ 
able in May and June. Many will be in bud, 
some in bloom, so the selection of varieties is 
made easy. 
As the season advances, certain varieties 
we offer may become sold out. However, 
when we are requested or given permission to 
assist you with the selection, you will always 
receive more than full value. Prices will be 
the same as for dormant stock.

Distance No Barrier 
In spite of the many ingenious methods 
which have been devised, we have yet to 
see Roses, sold like packaged goods from 
store shelves, which could compare with 
the vigorous Roses we put out. Distance 
is no barrier to the delivery of fresh-packed 
Roses provided you order them sent direct 
from the grower.
