Planting our hardy and healthy Roses during 
October and November is good, sound practice, 
even in very cold climates. 
Why we offer two Grades of Roses 
There are factors in the growth of plants that 
are beyond the control of the nurseryman. Tliis 
is especially true wit It field-grown Roses where 
we find that, in spite of the best care, they do not 
grow at the same rate, so that at harvest-time 
there are really three or four dillcrent sizes. 
Our Extra Grade denotes those plants 
having the greatest number of strong, tliick 
canes and branches and the heaviest root- 
systems. Naturally, these Extra-Grade 
plants will produce more Roses tlie first 
year, and thereby give the effect of an 
cstablislied Rose-garden. The relation 
between sizes of jjlants and abundance 
of bloom is so evident that the majority 
of our regular customers specify Extra- 
Grade Plants, even thougli the price is 
necessarily a little higher. They find 
' these super-size plants worth the 
difference. I lowcvcr, very satisfying 
results may be had with our No. 1 plants. 
The No. 1 Grade is the size generally sold 
by nurserymen as top grade and will give satis¬ 
factory results. The quality and age of both 
sizes are the same. We emphasize the fact 
that our small-sized plants are never sold 
through regular retail channels. This careful 
method of grading assures you of getting plants 
uniform in size, and removes the element of 
chance, so you do not have to depend on luck 
to get the very best Roses obtainable. Whether 
you buy a dozen oranges, or a box of apples, 
they are sold according to size and quality, 
and it should therefore be evident that applying 
this same principle to varying Rose plants is 
good, sound nursery practice.
