WHERE GROWN AND WHY! 
We offer "Northern Ohio grown" Tea Roses only because some 
of the finest quality Roses produced in America are grown along 
the shores of Lake Erie. This is a nationally recognized fact. 
The plants command the highest prices in the wholesale market. 
SURE STARTING! 
See illustration how to cover newly planted Roses with earth. 
This prevents drying of wood and buds, gives roots a chance to 
get started. Earth protection may be gradually removed after 
buds have started to make new growth. 
Plant deep! Water freely. 
HOW OLD AND WHAT GRADE! 
All Roses offered are 2-year-old selected 
No. 1 XX grode. This is the finest quality- 
available. All plants have been "frost 
ripened" and are in perfect condition. 
PRUNED, READY FOR PLANTING! 
All Rose plants will be sent to you cut back 
to about 6 inches, depending on variety, 
ready for planting. In other words, we 
will prune them correctly, removing ali 
unnecessary wood, unless we are instructed 
to the contrary. 
LATE ORDERS! 
It is advisable to mention a "second 
choice" when it becomes necessary for you 
to order late in the season, or if you care 
to leave the matter of changes to us, we 
will always send a similar color, and if 
possible a better or higher priced variety 
without additional charge to you. 
ROSES IN POTS! 
Many customers compelled to order lote 
prefer to plant Roses from pots. We have 
a large quantity growing in big roomy tar- 
poper pots but only the varieties illustrated 
in color in our catalog are available in 
pots. We charge 15 cents per plant in 
addition to the listed catalog price for this 
material. 
ROSE CULTURE BOOKLET! 
Lack of space prevents giving complete or 
worth-while cultural information in this 
catalog. A fully illustrated booklet has 
therefore been prepared to cover this sub¬ 
ject properly and will be sent to you upon 
receipt of twenty-five cents.
