EXPRESS OR MAIL?— In our price schedules there 
are two methods of transportation from which to choose. 
First set of prices listed are postpaid. The second and 
lowest prices for each size and type of plant is for trans¬ 
portation by express. In shipping by express, all soil is 
left about the roots of the plants. This insures that they 
will reach you in prime condition. In using this method 
of shipping, because of the lower prices listed, the cus¬ 
tomer pays the transportation costs when the plants are 
delivered. Please turn to page 29 where complete infor¬ 
mation concerning these two methods of shipping is given. 
DON’T BOTHER WITH BUDDING OR GRAFTING 
“The common belief that a.ll modern roses must be bud¬ 
ded or grafted to secure permanent trees is not accurate, says 
‘Answers’ (England). Roses growing on their own roots will 
give results equal to any produced on briars. 
Growing budded roses is a source of endless trouble to 
many novices. The briar grows up and the grower, not know¬ 
ing it from the real rose growth, a.llows it full scope. In a 
year or two the briar has asserted itself, taken full control 
and nothing but dog roses are produced. 
With roses on their own roots, there is never any of this 
trouble. Should the bush be cut down by frost at any time 
and the roots not harmed, real rosewood is aga.in produced 
in the spring. On the other hand, many amateurs have set 
out to plant a rose bed and secured the best of budded stock 
but in a year or two have ha.d only briars for their trouble. 
With a budded rose you may get more vigorous growth, 
a.nd probably a more robust bloom, but give a rose, growing on 
its own roots liberal treatment and it will come in first every 
time. 
The gardener who sets out to grow roses on their own 
roots simplifies his work.” 
(The Evening Bulletin—Philadelphia, Sept. 12, 1925)
