FALL 1945 — SPRING 1946 
Seautify Your Garden with the World's "Fiucast 
Kose 
Our rose bushes are all good, healthy, field grown No. 1 grade. 
Each bush is labelled true to name. If any prove not 
true, we will gladly replace them. 
All of our rosebushes are budded on Odorata root stock. From 
tests conducted in many sections of the country, this root 
stock has proven the best, as hybrid-tea varieties budded 
on it outgrow and live longer than on other root stocks. 
We grow all the rosebushes offered for sale in this cata- 
logue in our nursery near Stockton. We also exercise 
the greatest care in digging, packing and shipping so 
that they get to you in the best of condition. 
We will replace any bushes that you receive from us that were 
damaged in shipping if notified within ten days, but do 
not replace good bushes that are planted and do not 
grow as there are too many soil and climatic conditions 
that we have no control over. 
The first spring after planting rose bushes only remove old 
flowers, leaving all stems and leaves possible. If flowers 
are cut with long stems the first spring it weakens the 
plants. 
All of our bush roses, if given proper care, will bloom for you 
the first Spring and will continue all Summer and Fall. 
Climbing roses bloom very little the first year, but will be 
covered with bloom the second Spring.
