ROSES Vivid.. Resplendent.. Delicate.. Exquisite! 
T ^ ^ ^ Greenings Bring You the World’s Finest Sp ecimens! 
Even with most casual attention, roses flourish in any soil. 
Yet the rose lover is bombarded with so many offers of "rose 
specials’’ at all prices, that selection becomes increasingly 
difficult, and successful culture a question. It is only after the 
most thorough and painstaking research in our own trial 
grounds that we offer this list of roses—a list, which, we 
bel ieve, is without parallel anywhere. 
We have eliminated those that are weak and of 
poor blooming qualities. We have discarded a multi¬ 
tude of varieties that easily and quickly succumb to 
the ravages of insects, disease, and climate. We list 
only those fine old favorites and splendid new var¬ 
ieties which we have PROVED (for your protection) 
to have the distinct merit worthy of the Greening 
name and guarantee. You can, therefore, grow these 
roses with assurance of success and satisfaction. And, 
of course, we are at your service at all times, for 
advice on problems of soil or culture. 
The Darkest of the Red Roses 
Ami Quinard has won several awards as a superb novelty rose. The blackish 
buds open to semi-double flowers of velvety-maroon getting darker with age. 
Fine rose fragrance. Strong upright branches; very hardy and vigorous blooming. 
Roses require plenty of sunshine and plenty of moisture and rich 
food in the way of well-rotted stable manure. This should be 
spread around the plants in late autumn, banked against the bushes 
for winter protection and then spaded into the ground in the 
spring. 
When planting, all small branches should be cut away, leaving 
only the strongest and these cut back to from four to six inches. 
That applies to bush Roses. Climbers require only removal of 
small or broken shoots. 
Roses should always be planted a little deeper than they stood 
in the nursery row. When planting, sift the dirt in thoroughly 
around the roots, and when the roots are covered press the earth 
down firmly.
