THE DOCTOR 

ROSES for Chiitimas 
One of the most appreciated gifts for your garden friends at Christmas is a 
‘living gift’ of roses. Perhaps your friend has a favorite rose or two that 
needs replacing or will enjoy more blooms of a variety already growing 
in her garden. A selection from the Newcomers will be ideal for the rose 
fancier and the Old Adobe Dozen will make splendid gifts for the young 
people who want to start a rose garden. We will ship Christmas rose 
orders postpaid (in California) to arrive in time for Christmas planting.
