ROSES 
Roses are very scarce again over the 
whole country. Not only have growers 
been unable to increase their crops, due 
to the scarcity of skilled budders, but the 
demand for plants for Memorial Gardens 
is expected to be very heavy. This will 
cut considerably into the supply available 
for individuals. 
So we urge you to order early, prefer- 
ably in the fall, if you wish to avoid dis- 
appointment in the selection of varieties, 
if not in quantity. 
Try some of the newer kinds. They may 
be slightly higher in price than the old- 
timers, but most of them represent great 
progress in Rose breeding.
