Better Times 
The roses offered under this heading have been patented by the originators. This prevents 
us from growing these Roses in our own nurseries under our supervision. 
While we will exercise the best of care in the shipping and handling of these plants, we will 
not assume any further responsibility than to see that good plants carefully packed are sent to 
you. 
All claims and descriptions given are those made by the originators for which we must not 
be held responsible, nor do we undertake to make replacements if the plants do not grow.
