Gloria Mundi —Very striking, brilliant 
orange-scarlet. 
Gruss An Aachen —Pictured above. It 
has large, double flowers just like the 
Hybrid Tea roses. The buds are orange- 
pink, the fully open flowers soft orchid- 
pink. Constantly in bloom, it is one of the 
greatest of all bedding roses. 
Sparkler —Rich, deep crimson, the finest 
red. 
White Baby —Lovely flowers of snow- 
white. 
TALL GROWING VARIETIES 
These grow about 3 feet tall and also 
bloom constantly. They make a wonder¬ 
ful flowering hedge, and for garden display 
they are unequalled. Becoming more 
popular every year. 
ALWAYS IN BLOOM, FROM JUNE 
TO FREEZING—ESPECIALLY FINE 
FOR BORDER AND SOLID BEDS- 
HARDY—EASY TO GROW 
These roses are very hardy and the easiest 
of all roses to grow. For a garden display, 
a solid bed of them is beautiful. They are 
fine for bordering—plant a border of them 
around your regular rose bed. They add 
color to a shrub planting if you wall plant 
them among the lower growing shrubs or 
in front of the taller shrubs. They are 
ideal for cemetery planting because they 
bloom so freely and require so little care. 
They will all bloom this summer, so freely, 
then go right through the cold winter per¬ 
fectly, and keep it up year after year. If 
you think you cannot grow roses, plant 
some of these. 
LOW GROWING VARIETIES 
These make bushy plants 18 to 20 inches 
tall, with large clusters of blooms ALL 
SEASON. 
Cameo —A new variety, shell-pink tinged 
salmon and gold. 
Chatillon —Immense heads of vivid, pure 
pink.

Else Poulsen —A magnificent rose, with 
great clusters of lovely apple-blosspm pinL 
flowers. 
Improved Lafayette— This bright, cher¬ 
ry-red rose is another exceptionally fine 
variety. For bedding, it simply cannot be 
excelled—the flowers are so beautiful and 
so fready produced. 
Karen Poulsen — In 1936, this fine rose 
was runner-up for the Bagatelle Gold 
Medal Rose Award, the highest honor a 
rose can win. Glowing brilliant scarlet with 
just a tone of crimson, has a sheen and tex¬ 
ture like velvet. 
Mr. Edward Decker of Ohio wrote us on June 17, 
1938 —“/ ordered about 150 roses from you last spring 
and they were the best lot of roses that I have ever re¬ 
ceived from any nursery. Just wanted you to know that 
I appreciate them. I am enclosing a picture of my 
little girl holding a Leonard Barron rose measuring 
just a fraction less than seven inches across." 
Mr. R. H. Buikema of Illinois wrote us on Feb. 26 
1938 — "/ have never had any success with roses until 
I got your roses. They are wonderful and always 
blooming." 
Read this letter from Mrs. Grindley of far away 
Montana —"1 must tell you our roses were simply 
gorgeous. Planted them the second of May and first of 
July they were in bloom. Every one grew, also our 
shrubs. Some of the roses had as many as 47 buds at 
once." 
Mrs. Chas. C. Woodford of Ohio wrote us on April 
9, 1938 — "1 must tell you that I haven't lost one of the 
thirty roses I ordered from you. 1 have roses from five 
firms. 1 lost some this winter, from every firm but 
yours. My Flame carnation was a blaze of glory and 
Summer King Honeysuckle bloomed all summer and 
is now a big plant. My roses were fine and large. 
Whenever there is a club meeting or social gathering 
here flowers are discussed, I trot out my enthusiasm 
for Inter-State Nurseries."

Mr. Robert H. Jones of Kansas wrote us March 12. 
1938 —"I am sending you another order for roses and 
I want to tell you that the roses bought from you last 
spring are the finest 1 have ever seen." 
Miss Bernice I. Riemenschneider from Minnesota 
wrote us — “7 must tell you how lovely the roses were I 
got from you last year. They grew and bloomed all 
summer, even with the terrible heat and no rain, they 
still bloomed. I wish you could have heard the compli¬ 
ments I got on those roses. They were still blooming 
when it froze last fall. People said they never saw roses 
bloom like that before. Of all, the Editor McFarland is 
my favorite. So I’ll say thanks for such lovely roses 
you sent." 
This letter shows that roses can be successfully 
grown in the cold north. 
Mrs. Geo. B. Nelson of Wisconsin wrote us— 
“7 was so pleased with the rose bushes which you sent 
me last year that I have decided to send you a little 
fill-in order for roses and an order for some additional 
plants. If your plants are as satisfactory as your rose 
bushes proved to be, I shall probably grow more and 
more dependent upon you for fulfilling my garden 
needs. Last year I ordered rose bushes from other 
nurseries but they did not compare at all with the stock 
sent by you. I had hundreds of roses until frost." 
Mrs. E. P. Sutton of Nebraska wrote us— 
"The wonderful rose plants in the Memorial Park 
Cemetery are the finest we have ever seen. They tell us 
they came from you." 
Mrs. W. E. Wilson of Missouri wrote us— 
"The roses you sent me are the finest plants L ever 
saw and 7 have bought a lot of them in the last twenty 
years."
