EASY TO PLANT “OUT-OF-SEA 
It is now possible to plant almost every 
item in this catalog the year around. By 
planting our surplus supply of bare root 
stock in containers when the dormant sea- 
son is ended (about April 1st) we can sup- 
ply strong ‘‘Roeding’s Quality”’ plants and 
trees to set out in summer and fall. 
There are certain advantages to sum- 
mer planting. The weather is more agree- 
able for gardening and the soil is warmer; 
plants ‘take hold” quicker; you can select 
by foliage and by flower (important with 
roses if you like to buy them in bloom). The 
only disadvantage is that we may exhaust 
our supply of varieties in great demand 
during the bare root season. Types of 
plants grown in containers for summer 
planting heretofore available only in the 
dormant season, are: 
Roses. 
Fruit trees. 
Berry plants. 
Grapevines. 
Deciduous Flowering Trees. 
Deciduous Flowering Shrubs. 
Deciduous Shade Trees. 
Prices are slightly higher for plants in 
containers than for bare root stock. Our 
Summer Planting Guide issued in early 
April and mailed to our regular customers 
lists varieties and prices for the material 



Now that everyone spends more time at home 
our gardens are commanding more attention 
than ever before. People are re-discovering that 
creative work outdoors can be great fun. Al 
ways a favorite in the past, this year your gift 
of a beautiful '"Roeding’s Quality” flowering 
plant, shrub, or tree for the garden is sure to be 
valued far above its moderate cost.
