Dependable Roses Gleanings 
Roses are grown in every garden. It 
may be classed as the most popular gar¬ 
den flower today, because of the in¬ 
dividuality of its blooms rather than its 
landscape effect. We are listing a few 
varieties that we have found to 
bo good, and amongst the better 
kinds under average con¬ 
ditions. You will note 
that they are reasonably 
priced for 2 year No. 1 
field, grown plants. No 
better plants are obtain¬ 
able. No poorer grades 
are offered as assured 
success is obtained only 
with No., l’s. These are 
Northern grown and 
hence, are worth twice 
as much as Southern 
grown ones. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE. Brilliant red and free flowering. 
MRS. E. P. THOM. Best clear yellow. Strong grower. 
MRS. HENRY BOWLES. One of the most perfect pink roses. 
ELSE POULSEN. An extra-large flowered Polyantha or clus¬ 
ter Rose. Single, bright rose-pink. A beauty. 
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER. The most popular of all climb¬ 
ing Roses. None can compare with it for brilliancy of color 
in its vivid; scarlet.

PLANT EARLY—as soon as your soil is in a workable 
condition. Early planting and successful results go hand in 
hand. 
USE A BALANCED FERTILIZER—plant food should be 
dug into the bed where flowers are planted or are to be plant¬ 
ed. VIGORO is an excellent garden fertilizer. The kind we 
use may be secured at our nursery. 
SECURE STRONG TWO YEAR, TRANSPLANTED FIELD 
GROWN PLANTS. This size, with very few exceptions, is 
the first essential to garden success. These are the kind of 
plants we grow for you. Do not be satisfied with skimpy 
plants out of a seed bed or distorted, crowded plants out of 
a row which some companies call field grown. 
FOR A WELL LANDSCAPED GARDEN EFFECT, plant 
three or more plants of a kind in a group. Large gardens may 
use a dozen or more of a kind in a group. 
WE OFFER ONLY THE BEST KINDS OF PERENNIALS 
AND ROCK PLANTS. Each year we try out new varieties 
of plants and continually keep discarding the poorer kinds 
of plants that we feel are unfit for your garden when they 
are compared with the better varieties. 
FALL PLANTING is satisfactory for most of the plants 
offered in this folder, excepting Chiysanthemums, Asters and 
Tritomas. Usually Iris, Peonies, Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia), 
Oriental Poppies and many Lilies are better planted in late 
summer or fall. Our fall folder will describe and price them. 
PLANTS WILL BE SHIPPED BY PARCEL POST OR 
EXPRESS at our option, unless specific shipping instructions 
are received with order. Transportation charges are paid by 
the customer. We will send you a notice of the exact cost of 
transportation after the plants are sent, provided we ship by 
parcel post.
