GREENING’S Cascade Mountain 
ROSES 
At the northwesternmost tip of 
the United States, virtually on the 
Canadian border and State of Wash- 
ington, lies the Rose Eden of 
America, where, nestled in the foot- 
hills of the Cascade Mountains, 
Greening’s Roses are grown, 
Nature has provided here every 
factor for the successful propagation 
of Roses, in the beds of lava-loam, 
washed ages ago from the slopes of 
the now known Cascades—a soil, 
rich in nutriment and food elements 
on which Roses thrive. 
It is here that climate, tuned to 
the warm trade winds of the Pacific, 
creates a long growing season. Hot 
days accelerate growth and cool 
nights temper the plants and infuse 
a hardiness to withstand the rigors 
of extreme Winters. It is here that 
thorough quality is inbred, where 
plants develop big, sound, stout, 
root systems—sturdy, well-balanced 
stock stored with an abundance of 
gorgeous blooms ready to unfold their beauty in your gardens. 
From here Greening’ s Roses get their name— ‘‘Cascade 
Mountain Roses,” with certified inherent quality. 
After two full Summer's growth, absorbing the vitality 
and strength of those rich fields in the valley of the Cascades, 
plants become dormant and then are carefully dug, packed 
and shipped to our big storage cellars at our main nursery 
in Monroe, Michigan. Here we hold the plants to be dis- 
tributed to Greening’s customers throughout the nation 
in proper planting season.

No. 1 field-grown plants, semi-pruned for planting with 
canes parafhned for protection and packed to reach you

Hybrid Tea Roses ¢ The Werldi Finest ee 
The outstanding merits of the Hybrid Tea Roses are that they combine an 
everblooming quality with hardiness and come in an extensive color range from 
the vivid brilliant colors to light pinks and pure white. They are by far the most 
important Roses grown today and no doubt, the most universally treasured of 
flowering plants. We list only those fine, old favorites and splendid new vari- 
ties which we have proved to have distinct merit, worthy of Greening name 
and guarantee.
