THOMASVILLE ROSES 
45 Years with Koses 
HE GROWING of quality Rose plants has been a specialty with us at Thomasville since 1898. 
From many hundreds of varieties we selected those found to be the best for the Southeast. We 
do not offer the endless list of varieties found in up-country catalogues, nor do we confine our 
selection to Hybrid Teas. To serve the fullest requirements of our customers, we offer the best in the 
Old-Fashioned Teas, the Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals, Floribundas, Polyanthas, and Climbers, 
listing each class separately. 
We now have another fine crop of Roses, grown under ideal conditions. We are offering only top- 
quality plants, 2-yr. No. 1 grade. You will like these Roses, budded on stocks suited to the Southeast 
and guaranteed true to name. While we have more Roses than last season, we still do not have enough, 
and we urge ordering early. We exercise every care in digging properly, packing roots In moist sphag- 
num moss and wrapping well, so that the bushes will reach you safely. 
Roses thrive in most garden soils capable of growing flowering trees and shrubs. Dig holes at least 
18 inches in depth and width, and use several shovelfuls of well-rotted cow manure; or if this is not 
available, use peat humus, or 50 per cent of each. Set the plants just deep enough to cover the bud 
union, which means 1 or 2 inches deeper than they stood in the nursery. Pack well and water thor- 
oughly. In the spring use a balanced commercial fertilizer. The American Rose Society’s handbook, 
“What Every Rose-Grower Should Know” makes Rose growing easy by providing the answers 
to questions on planting and care when you need them. We recommend the use of this little 
reference book. 
When you can travel again, visit the Thomasville Rose Show in April. Also, any day in April or 
May, the months our fields are open to visitors, come and see Roses at the Home of Roses. But right 
now we invite you to order Thomasville Roses for your own garden! 
While better able to serve you this season than last, we still have not enough Roses to last the 
season through. And there is no way of telling in advance just how long the supply of certain varieties 
will Iast. While we fill orders with first-choice varieties as long as we have them, we respectfully 
request your permission to substitute intelligently with varieties of the same class, similar color, 
labeled true to name, and of equal or greater value where certain kinds become sold out as the season 
advances.
