PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING 
Genuineness and Guarantee —The greatest care and precaution is exercised to 
keep all varieties true to name and we do not substitute unless authorized to do 
so, and then under true labels only. Any plants proving otherwise will be replaced 
free of charge; but it is mutually agreed and understood that we will not be held 
liable for any greater amount than the purchase price of the plants involved. 
Plants should be examined immediately upon arrival and if not in good condi¬ 
tion they should be returned immediately. If accepted they should be set in a pail 
or tub of water over night (not longer), after which they may be planted out or 
just heeled in until ready to plant. Any plants failing to grow will be replaced at 
one-half purchase price. 
Caution —Unpack plants immediately upon arrival and place in container of 
water over night. Not longer. Plant out immediately if possible. If planting is 
done in the fall the plants may be left with their tops untrimmed until spring at 
which time they should be cut back to not more than six or eight inches above the 
ground. Do not use any fertilizer at time of planting. See planting instructions, 
page 11. 
Shipments Made November 1st to April 1st —Plants are seldom ripened or dor¬ 
mant enough to ship before November 1st. Most of the patent varieties are not 
released to us before December 15th. It is not practical or advisable to ship later 
than April 1st. 
Those living in regions with late spring should place their order early. Plants 
will be reserved and held dormant as long as possible and then shipped to be held 
longer in cooler climate if necessary before planting. 
Special Discount for large orders. A discount of 10% is offered on orders of 
fifty roses or more. 15% discount on orders of 100 or more. Patent varieties ex¬ 
cepted. Many will be able to take advantage of this saving by ordering with 
friends. 
All prices subject to change without notice. 
No C.O.D. shipments. Please send cash, check or post office money order. 
IT IS BEST to name second choice roses, when ordering. We do not substitute 
unless authorized to do so, and then under true name only. Some varieties are 
sure to sell out before others, and by naming second choice your planting plan 
has better chance of working out on schedule. 
HYBRID 
RUGOSA ROSES 
The Rugosa Roses are valuable for their 
hardiness. They will thrive under almost any 
conditions and produce an abundance of flow- 
ers. Mostly tall growing, shrubby and extreme¬ 
ly thorny. Their peculiarly heavy, wrinkled, 
dense foliage, adds to their attractiveness. 
Excellent for hedges or shrub groups for cold 
and exposed places.

noted.

flowers of pale amber gold. Sweetly fragrant
