TESTIMONIALS! 
Our Roses are the finest quality, No. 1 
stock. They are all northern grown under 
scientific condition and must not be compared 
with inferior, cheaply grown plants. 
Here are a few statements from some of 
our enthusiastic customers. 
From FAIRPORT HARBOR, OHIO. 
Mrs. H. M. writes: 
“Am pleased to report that the ten rose 
bushes which I purchased from you in the fall 
of 1938 produced 625 blooms on actual count in 
the summer of 1939. The plants w’ere all healthy 
and vigorous and easy to take care of.” 
From MANISTIQUE, MICH. 
Mr. W. D. H. writes: 
“The Roses that I received from you last 
fall are doing just fine. They have put on a lot 
of new growth and are all in bud again. Com¬ 
pared with the other roses that I have, yours 
are so far ahead of them that there really is no 
comparison. I gave one of your lists to a friend 
from Evanston, Ill. who claims to have quite a 
number of roses around his place. He says he 
has none that can compare with mine for 
robustness and vigor. In fact he said he never 
saw such strong healty plants.” 
From OAKLAND, CALIF. 
Mr. W. L. writes: 
“Don’t know what your Ohio roses have 
that our own roses do not, but must say the 
plants that I purchased from you have done 
double duty in this climate. The Etoile De Hol- 
lande was fully 10 in. in diameter and the 
blooms were of such intense coloring that they 
almost looked artificial. The other varieties did 
equally as well but were not quite as large. Will 
have to admit that your plants do exceedingly 
well in this climate, and I am glad to recom¬ 
mend them to anyone interested in roses.” 
From ARLINGTON, MASS. 
Mr. C. C. W. reports: 
“The roses purchased from you certainly 
have proved themselves to be of hardiness 
and vigor. Owing to unavoidable circum¬ 
stances, I was forced to transplant them during 
the blooming season. Naturally I did not expect 
them to do much for the balance of the season 
as I know their transference was contrary to all 
rules of rose planting. However they produced 
a satisfactory number of blooms that same fall 
and the following spring my garden was the 
envy of all the neighbors. I can truly say that 
1 am very much pleased with your rose plants.”
