ROSES 
EACE has come again, for which we are all truly thankful. 
During these war years much of our effort has been diverted to 
the growing of food crops. With the emergency somewhat 
reheved, we can now return to growing roses exclusively. 
Growing roses is our pleasure as well as yours. With the new roses, 
as well as the older varieties described, we hope you will find some inter- 
esting varieties for your garden. We attempt to list only the most satis- 
factory roses in commeree. 
With few exceptions, our stock is on Odorata root. This year’s stock 
is exceptionally fine. We guarantee every plant to grow, be true to name 
and to reach you in good condition. Shipping facilities probably will not 
be back to normal this year, so we shall again use special care in packing. 
Should the plants appear dry when received, bury them in earth or peat 
moss for two or three days, soaking them thoroughly. 
Prices quoted are for number one grade, two-year-old field-grown 
plants. 
We try to start shipping roses about the middle of December, filling 
orders in rotation. We do not have sufficient help to get orders out 
immediately upon receipt, but we want to assure those who order late 
in the season, we will do our best to fill their order as soon as possible. 
DISCOUNTS—When purchasing in lots of 10 to 25, deduct 10 per 
cent; 26 or more deduct 20 per cent, except on patented roses. 
PACKING AND MAILING—There will be no packing or mailing 
charge on orders of $2.50 or more in California. On orders less than $2.50, 
please add 25 cents to cover mailing cost. On mail orders west of the 
Mississippi, add 10 per cent, and east of the Mississippi add 15 per cent. 
Express shipments will be sent collect. 
ROSE SHIPMENTS TO OUR EASTERN PATRONS—As we do 
not dig our roses early enough for your fall planting, we advise placing 
your orders early that they may be placed in cold storage until your 
spring planting time. Storage at cost. 
CALIFORNIA SALES TAX—Please add 214 per cent to purchase 
price. This does not apply to purchasers outside the state.
