A Rose to the Living 
A rose to the living is more 
Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead: 
In filling love’s infinite store, 
A rose to the living is more. 
If graciously given before 
The hungering spirit is fled— 
A rose to the living is more 
Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead. 
OUR 1940 
LITTLE ROSE BOOK 
Offering you the finest Northern-grown Rose Bushes 
for your spring planting. 
Our ever-growing success has been attained mostly 
through recommendation from our customers to their 
friends, merited by the quality and service we have 
persistently supplied. 
Visitors looking over our fields are always amazed, 
never expecting to see 30 acres of such sturdy, hardy, 
well-grown bushes, and then the larger fields of young 
stock coming along for next year. 
A most outstanding Rose-grower, a friend and com¬ 
petitor of ours, after seeing our plants, said, “This is my 
last stop on a trip during which I have visited all the 
important Rose-growers from coast to coast, and, to 
tell you frankly, Gerard, 1 have seen none better; in 
fact, I doubt whether I have seen many as good. If 
these don’t produce good results, no others will.” 
We are located along the shores of Lake Erie, with 
its sweet-water moisture in the air during the hot days, 
and its cold breeze from the north in early fall, so helpful 
for proper ripening of the plants. When we know of a 
better place to grow Roses for you, we will move there. 
OUR GUARANTEE IS YOUR SAFEGUARD 
Every plant is guaranteed to be true to name, and to 
grow and bloom the first natural blooming season after 
planting. Every plant not true to name or failing to 
grow and bloom will be replaced without any cost to 
you the next spring or fall, provided you notify us 
before September 1. 
We guarantee every plant to be a healthy, top-grade 
one, two years old, budded on Japanese Multiflora 
understock, and to reach you in perfect condition.
