GRIFFING'S ROSES 
FOR FIFTY YEARS we hive been leaders in growirg Roses. In our earlier 
days we gave attertion to quai tity production, growing TENS OF THOU¬ 
SANDS in scores OF VARIETIES; however, in recent years, we have spe¬ 
cialized in a LIMITED LIST, Deluding those which average home owners 
can grow successfully without a great deal cf attention. This list ircludes 
ONE OR TWO DOZEN VARIETIES, which, according to our experience, are 
best adapted to ALL CONDITIONS. These will give AMPLE RANGE OF 
COLOR fer selection. The Griffing Roses have been the choice OF THOU¬ 
SANDS throughout the Southwest. 
We realize that irest people grow Roses FOR THE FLOWERS ALONE, 
ard we are listirg oily Rcses that bloom MOST OF THE YEAR. Many 
persors who have had ui fortunate experience WITH MILDEW on Roses have 
been agreeably co’virccd cf the ad/art*oe of pfartirg CAREFULLY SE¬ 
LECTED plants which are net subject to MILDEW OR BLIGHT.
