'/ During the many years that we' have been associated 
with the rose industry, we have visited, bought roses 
from, and grown roses .in, all of the principal rose grow-- 
ing sections of the country. As a result of the first-hand 
experience thus gained; it is our firm belief that Texas 
is by far the greatest rose growing state in America. 
Its rich sandy soil, mild climate, and long growing sea¬ 
son produce bigger and better rose plants. Most of our 
roses are produced in the rich soils that line the Natchez 
River running between Smith and Von Zandt counties in 
East Texas—a section that may truly be termed the 
"Rose Garden of America!" 
Texas grown roses are just as hardy in the North as 
they are in the South. The hardiness of a rose does not 
depend upon the climate or soil in which it is grown— 
it depends entirely upon the understock upon which the 
rose is budded. All Naughton roses are budded upon the 
finest Multiflora Japonica understock and are capable of 
standing all kinds of weather. Texas grown roses, due 
to the long growing season they enjoy, are fully matured 
when they leave our nurseries, thus assuring you the * 
best of blooming plants the first season you plant them 
in your yard or garden. 
The growing of guality roses has been an important 
factor in our nursery for many years. Today we are one 
of the largest growers and shippers of two-year-old, field- 
grown roses in the entire United States. It has never 
been our objective to grow hundreds of varieties of roses 
just so that we could list them in our catalog. We never 
list .a rose until we have grown it ourselves, are sure of 
its blooming qualities, and firmly believe that it will 
give our customers complete satisfaction. We continually 
test new introductions to see for ourselves if they will 
grow and bloom successfully. Only when we determine 
in our own fields that they are successful do we list 
them in our catalog and pass them along to our cus¬ 
tomers. 
When you buy Naughton roses from this catalog you 
may rest assured that they are tested and proven roses. 
Years of experience in growing and proving each variety 
of budded roses listed in our catalog, a large staff of 
capable rose growers, conscientious old-fashioned hon¬ 
esty, and a jealous care of our reputation for fair deal¬ 
ing, have brought Naughton Farms an army of thousands 
of satisfied rose customers from all over the world. We 
are justly proud of them—we are justly proud of the 
roses that we grow and ship!
