WHY YOU SHOULD 
PLANT PETERSON ROSES 
THIS FALL 
Experienced Rose-planters, amateur and pro¬ 
fessional alike, know that best results follow a 
planting made during October or November. But 
for the benefit of the inexperienced planter, we 
want to enumerate the advantages and reasons for 
fall-planted Roses. 
FIRST: The dormant plants will reach you in fall with 
all the branches fresh and green to the ends, because they 
are dug fresh for your individual order and packed the same 
day as dug. All field-grown Roses sold in spring are dug 
the previous fall and stored over winter. 
SECOND: There is a longer planting season in fall than 
in spring when every day’s delay, as nature progresses, 
counts against you. We always find more mild and pleasant 
planting days during October and November than in March 
and April. 
THIRD: Spring weather is more trying on newly 
planted, dormant Roses than winter. Plants established in 
the ground when spring opens are in better condition to 
withstand the trying spring changes. 
FOURTH: The selection of varieties is complete in 
the fall. 
FIFTH: Even in cold New England climates, fall-planted 
Roses do best. Newly planted, healthy, northern-grown 
Roses will not freeze out in sub-zero temperatures, assuming 
that adaptable varieties are selected for the planting. 
General nurserymen and dealers who depend on Texas 
and Pacific Coast Roses cannot get them until late winter 
and therefore must advise waiting for spring planting. 
Order your Roses early so we can arrange to have the 
plants arrive at the ideal fall-planting time in your locality. 
Your order will be acknowledged the day received when 
you will also be advised of the approximate shipping date. 
If you have had experience with fall-planted Roses we are 
always pleased to ship on a specified date to suit your 
convenience.
