FALL PLANTING OF ROSES 
We recommend fall planting wherever this is possible. We supply 
plants fresh from the fie!ds. This, however, should be done late in 
the autumn after the plants have become well ripened, usually the 
latter part of October or early in November. You need not hesitate 
to plant late, even if you are located where there is danger of the 
ground freezing before the plants reach you. Prepare your beds 
and cover them with a few inches of loose litter which will enable 
you to plant with perfect safety even after freezing weather sets in. 
WINTER PROTECTION: We have found the most satisfactory 
method of covering is to draw up a mound of soil, from four to six 
inches high, around the base of the plant, thus giving the eyes at 
the base of the plant the desired protection. Next cover the entire 
bed, after the ground begins to freeze, with any loose material, 
such as strawy manure or leaves. The idea is to keep the ground 
from freezing too deeply as well as to prevent the alternate freez- 
ing and thawing of the soil which is injurious to all plants. 
In more severe climates, a heavy covering should be provided. 
Care and judgment must be used in the removal of the winter cov- 
ering. Leaving the plants covered too long in spring may cause 
just as serious loss as removing it too early. It is usually safe to 
uncover about the first of April, though in unusually late seasons it 
may be desirable to let the covering remain until the middle of 
that month. 
Different varieties of Roses possess different degrees of hardi- 
ness. Therefore, cover your plants thoroughly so that the least 
hardy one is adequately protected. Also remember that newly 
transplanted Roses require heavier protection than those already 
established. 
In very cold parts of the country Climbing Roses should be de- 
tached from their support, laid flat on the ground and covered with 
straw or soil.

McGredy’s Triumph (Plant Patent No. 190) Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
The color-tone is even throughout, reminding one of a brilliant straw- 
berry, blushed scarlet and orange. The flowers are very large, full and 
of perfect shape. In addition to the brilliant and unusual coloring of 
the flowers, the extraordinary freedom, vigor, and habit of growth is 
something far from the every-day. Rose. 
McGredy’s Yellow Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
Well-formed big flowers of bright buttercup-yellow. The buds are ex- 
quisitely formed and leave nothing to be desired. Good strong rugged 
grower producing flowers freely. One of McGredy’s best. 
Miss Rowena Thom Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
Enormous buds and blooms of fiery rose and mauve, shaded with old 
gold at the center, borne on long, strong stems. A profuse, continuous 
bloomer and a very vigorous plant. 
Mme. Cochet-Cochet Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
Long-pointed buds of coppery pink, flushed orange, open to four-and- 
one-half-inch flowers of splendid form of the same color as the bud, 
except that the orange softens to gold. When open they disclose a mass 
of golden stamens. As the flower ages the color changes to a soft satiny 
pink, with an attractive tinge, but does not lose any of its loveliness 
and is usually clear and fresh at all times. 
Mme. Henri Guillot (Patent No. 337) Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Deep pink. The beauty of this Rose is very exciting. It is lovely in 
both form and color, the large, artistic, urn-shaped buds open to 
Camellia-like, 20-petaled blooms about 5 inches across, watermelon to 
raspberry-pink in color. Gold Medal, Bagatelle. 
Mme. Joseph Perraud Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
Winner of the Bagatelle Gold Medal, 1934, and awarded the honor at 
Lyons, France, of being ‘‘the most beautiful Rose in France for the year 
1934.” The long, slender and pointed nasturtium-orange buds open to 
sweetly fragrant flowers of a charming nasturtium-buff straying to a 
lovely shade of shell-pink at the petal edges—the nearest approach to a 
pure buff, lightened with pink at the petal margins. 
Mme. Jules Bouche Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
While not a pure white, it is to all intents white and without question 
the best white everblooming bedding Rose yet introduced. The flowers 
are large, quite double and of splendid form. It is fragrant, a vigorous 
grower and very free flowering. 
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
Slender yellow buds and large, well shaped blooms of bright canary- 
yellow, deepest in center. Blooms very freely. 
Mrs. M. H. Horvath Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Habit of growth and color of flower is very much the same as that of 
Joanna Hill. The flowers are somewhat fuller but better lasting. Clear 
yellow with orange-yellow heart. Very profuse bloomer. 
Mrs. Pierre S. du Pont Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
Medium sized long-pointed bud of a reddish gold opening to a semi- 
double, cupped, very lasting fragrant flower of a deep golden yellow. 
The plant is of strong, vigorous, compact growth. A profuse and con- 
tinuous bloomer. 
Mrs. Sam McGredy Each 90c, Doz. $8.50 
Scarlet coppery orange heavily flushed with Lincoln-red on the outside 
of the petals, and these colors together give a rich and almost dazzling 
effect. The flowers are of large size and beautiful form. They are very 
freely produced and delicately perfumed. The plant has a vigorous and 
exceptionally free habit.
