VARIETY and PRICE LIST 
Hybrid Teas Hydrid Perpetuals 
These are the “everblooming” bush roses 
for garden and cutflowers 
So many have asked us, “What are the 12 best 
roses?”’ Invariably then, after they have grown them 
themselves for awhile, the longer they grow roses and the 
more varieties they grow, the harder it is for them to 
answer that same question. That is our own experience, 
too. 
The thrills of the unknown, the chance of a brilliant 
discovery haunt the thorny trail of new roses, making it 
an endless and fascinating pursuit. 
There are of course hundreds of varieties available 
from nurseries scattered over the entire country. Many 
of these are totally unfit for our rigorous climate, notably 
Talisman and Blaze, but all such have been rigidly ex- 
cluded from this list. Rose breeders are constantly intro- 
ducing new varieties and we include in our list those that, 
after carefully weighing all available experiency and in- 
formation we can gather concerning them, seem to show 
promise. 
However there are tried and true varieties that are truly out- 
standing for form, fragrance, continuous heavy blooming qualities 
and, most important, for healthy, vigorous growing habits. These 
are indicated by boldface type. For your first dozen roses, select 
from those names printed in black type. 
Better yet, in June and later, come to the nursery and compare 
the flowers yourself on our planted roses. 
Prices quoted are for growing plants in pots as shown on 
the preceding page. Delivery May 15th or later. 
For dormant rose bushes: deduct 30c per plant. 
No order for dormant plants will be taken afer April 1. 
No deliveries of dormant plants will be made after Apr.115
