This popular Rose, first introduced in 1925 
by Bobbink & Atkins, is still the standard 
by which other red Roses are judged. 
These are the key men, every one a trained horticulturist of long experience with 
Bobbink & Atkins, who are responsible for the uninterrupted production of plants 
and the execution of your orders. We doubt whether their combined skill is 
equaled in any nursery in America. 




The Way Things Are Now! 
customers, I repeat, in part, a few remarks made 
last fall about the efforts we are making to supply 
your garden needs. Our old and faithful employees are 
working longer hours than ever to produce and care for our 
great assortment of Perennials, Trees, Roses, Evergreens, 
Fruit Trees, and Vegetable Plants. In this agricultural in- 
dustry most of us are accustomed to a 60-hour week, plus. 
I know from my own experience that it is the real love for 
plants that makes this program possible while profits are 
temporarily forsaken. 
The cost of living and cost of materials are bound to have 
an effect on the price of any commodity. In the Nursery 
trade, labor, packing materials and many other items have 
risen sharply in costs, but we have kept the prices of our 
stock just as low as we possibly can. Were nurserymen 
forced to allow periods of production to lapse, it would be 
only a short time before Roses, for instance, would not be 
available to the millions of buyers who simply must have 
them for the fuller enjoyment of their lives. 
While reading a current issue of House & Garden maga- 
zine I came across an article which I requested permission 
from the editor to quote in part. It was written by the 
Chairman of the Victory Garden Committee, Mr. H. W. 
Hochbaum of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, on be- 
half of the twenty-two million victory gardeners who are 
playing an important part in the war effort. He says: 
“One of the finest things that has come out of the Victory 
garden program is the neighborliness and community 
spirit evident wherever people garden together. And in 
\Y, eee for the benefit of new and prospective 
countless backyards and community gardens people also 
found space and time for flowers. This is as it should be. 
Ours is a roomy country; we have ample space most every- 
where, except in the crowded city areas, to grow the vege- 
tables we need. While we have gone far in beautifying our 
homes and communities by planting lawns, flowers, shrubs 
and trees, we still can do so much more. We owe it to 
Johnny and Joan as they come marching home that the 
old home and the old home town welcome them with more 
flowers and greenery.”
