SELECTED ROSES FOR 1939 
i i 
We wish to call the attention of our customers to our excellent stock of 
two-year budded roses, in the varieties best suited to our climate and those that 
have proved their real value. 
We have decided this year to grow all our roses in pots, in some instances 
using larger sizes than usual, thus giving chance for better root system. They 
are not only living plants when sold, but they can be plantdfisj: any time during 
the season without disturbance of the roots, which fupflio^^H^es a greater 
degree of success for the home garden. 
PRICES FOR ALL POTTED ROS
