N OT only Roses but practically all hardy plants and trees thrive best if planted 
during the pleasant autumn days when the ground is warm and workable. 
Years ago it was my custom to enumerate the many advantages and bene¬ 
fits derived when following nature’s rules by planting in the fall. I know the “fall 
planting” of Roses, long a controversial subject, is now practiced by most experienced 
and practical gardeners. The reason more Roses have not been planted in the fall 
is that so few large nurseries grow their own bushes here in the East and have the 
plants in a dormant state for shipping direct from the nursery to the customer before 
the ground freezes hard. All B. & A. Roses have already withstood two winters out- 
of-doors, and if planted this fall and given normal winter protection, we promise 
they will come through without losses. There is more root action taking place during 
the winter than one imagines, so that your plants are ready to get an early start in 
the spring and withstand the trying weather conditions in March, April and May. 
The pages that follow scarcely open the door to the great plant collections at our 
nurseries. Our world-famous collection of Azaleas is described in the main spring 
catalog; also a complete list of the most useful and ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Ever¬ 
greens, Perennials and Vines. This general catalog is already in the hands of good 
gardeners everywhere but a limited number of copies are still available upon request. 
May I suggest, however, that you consider the complete list of Quality Roses and 
Hardy Plant Specialties we offer in this new issue 
as being especially well adapted to your fall plant¬ 
ing needs? Plan now to take advantage of the good 
planting weather just ahead, so that you may 
thoroughly enjoy the loveliest blooms next year. 
I know you will not be disappointed.

Everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses 
F ROM the long list of thousands of varieties we and 
others have brought into commerce over a period of 
many years, you will find in this section only those

habits in most parts of the United States. 
In the short color descriptions to follow, we have pur- 
Charles K. Douglas 
posely omitted reference to comparative plant vigor be¬
