OF FLOWERS 
always been with us more than a 
our love of them that led us into 
the commercial production of rose bushes more than 
a decade ago. It was our love of them that guided 
us in our quest for improved methods of growing, 
methods that "would enable us to produce a high 
quality rose bush that could be sold at a reason¬ 
able price, thus enabling a greater number of 
people to enjoy intimate association with the 
Queen of Flowers. 
The following list of roses is not large, but 
every one is the finest in its class. They are all 
one year old field grown budded plants grown on 
rootstocks that have proven to be best. 
Naturally one year old plants are not as 
heavy as two year old plants $ however, our roses 
compare very favorably with any No. 1 and No. IpV 
grade two year old roses you can find. And, being 
younger, our plants stand the shock of transplant¬ 
ing much better and get off to a quicker start 
than the two year old plants. One of our customers 
wrote to us, ”l am glad to apologize for all I 
said against one year old rose bushes, if they are 
all as fine as yours. No roses in my garden made a 
better showing than yours," This customer has 
nearly 500 roses purchased from all parts of the 
United States. Our own experience and the experi¬ 
ence of our many customers in all parts of the 
country convinces us that a well grown one year 
old rose bush is the ultimate in quality and, if 
it is given reasonable care, it will perform as 
well or better than two year old bushes.
