Special Introductory Offer of 
Old-Fashioned Roses 
In order to popularize these Gems of the Rose World, beloved by all who grow 
them, but too seldom used because of the heretofore prohibitive high prices, we grew 
quantities of the two outstanding varieties in each class. Improved propagation 
methods have resulted in a good supply and we are. pleased to offer them for the first 
time at a reduced rate. 
Plant and treat them as low-growing shrubs attaining heights of 3 to 4 feet and 
regulated by yearly pruning. They may be set together in a ‘‘collection corner’ or 
planted as specimens to liven up what may otherwise be a dull shrubbery border.
