C. H. STOCKING 
^oses 
It is a pleasure to present this little booklet to 
you for the 1938-39 season. 
An earnest endeavor has been made to give you 
as accurate a description of the roses as we see 
them. However, roses vary greatly in different 
localities and soils, which must be taken into con¬ 
sideration. We have given you the average height 
of many plants, but this also varies, depending 
on soil, water and fertilizer. 
The stock this season is strong and healthy. All 
plants are guaranteed to be true to name and 
to reach the purchaser in perfect condition. 
Should any be found otherwise they will be re¬ 
placed or money refunded. If in doubt as to 
varieties best adapted to your locality, we shall 
be glad to assist you in your selection. 
The prices quoted are for strictly number one 
grade, two-year-old field grown stock, graded to 
comply with the new California Grades and 
Standards Law. 
DISCOUNTS. When purchasing in lots of 10 
to 25, deduct 10 per cent; 26 or more, deduct 20 
per cent. 
PACKING AND MAILING. There will be no 
packing or mailing charge on orders of one 
dollar or more in California. On orders less than 
one dollar, add 25 cents. On orders outside the 
state, add 10 per cent to cover packing and 
Parcel Post. 
ROSE SHIPMENTS TO OUR EASTERN PAT¬ 
RONS. As we do not dig our roses early enough 
for your fall planting, we advise placing your 
orders early and they will be kept in cold storage 
until your planting time, at no extra charge to 
you. 
CALIFORNIA SALES TAX. Please add 3 
per cent to purchase price. This does not apply 
to purchasers outside the state. 
CHRISTMAS GIFTS 
Rose bushes make lovely Christmas gifts; one 
that the whole family will enjoy. 
We shall be glad to mail gift roses with your 
greeting card on the day you designate. Include 
a mckel plated lapel bud vase for the gentlemen’s 
buttonhole which sells for seventy-five cents.
