(ase aoe last spring a young lady came into our nursery with a long list of 
plants she had been reading about in our catalogue and asked to see them. So, 
being in rather an expansive frame of mind, we started out with the Canary 
Bird Bush. We showed her the plants—they were not in bloom—and went to 
great lengths to tell her all about the golden canaries that hung in the branches, 
how ona bright sunshiny morning you could almost hear them sing and every- 
thing else about the plant we could think of. Then we went on to the Brunfelsia 
and from there to the Desert Rose, the Silver Bells, the Double Flowered Tea 
Tree. But like a youngster in a candy shop, the young lady just couldn't make 
up her mind. She flitted from one flower to the other like a humming bird. 
Finally she burst out with, “Don’t we women drive you crazy? 
And so we had to go on and explain that we had been showing the ladies posies and extolling their vir- 
tues for something like thirty years and that we derived a lot of pleasure from demonstrating just how much 
we know about the plants we sell. 





GROWERS 5 re BE OT 

I:very year, when rose planting time comes along, many of you ask us to select your roses for you. You 
want the varieties with the shapeliest buds, the strongest growth, and foliage most resistant to mildew. 
And, of course, we are glad to help you with your selections. If you have room for a number of bushes we 
recommend planting from four to six of a kind so that you may be able to gather entire bouquets of one 
- variety. This is the practical thing to do. 
Now, ‘tis said, confession is good for the soul, so here is ours. A few years back we had space for forty- 
eight roses. We thought we would have six each of eight varieties. So, just as the rest of you do, we got out 
our catalogue and started to check them off. We had to have Countess Vandal, of course, and Eclipse, and 
Mme. Henri Guillot and J. Otto Thilow. In fact, there was hardly a rose in the list we felt we could do 
without. Well, to make a long story short, we finally wound up with two each of twenty-four varieties 
In other words, this is just another case of “Do as we say, not as we do”.
