We come once more presenting to you our 1947-48 Catalog 
of Good Roses. Two years of post-war endeavor have made it 
possible for us to produce a full crop of the type and quality of 
rose bushes, upon which our reputation of ‘Crombie Quality” is 
founded. 
No apologies this year for less than the best in quality or services. 
There is not a better rose grown than the ones we offer to you in 
the pages of this catalog. 
We will continue to offer you our help in selecting only the 
varieties suitable to your locality. Our test-garden is being main- 
tained, and watched carefully, so that you may join with us in 
observing the behavior of all varieties in this area—especially the 
new introductions. Won't you plan to visit us occasionally during 
flowering season? There will always be something interesting 
to see. 
The ideal planting time is, of course, when the rose is as nearly 
dormant as possible, and that is during December, January, Febru- 
ary and the early part of March. However, we will have roses 
growing and flowering in containers, which can be successfully 
planted in the garden during the spring and summer months. 
These will be priced slightly higher to cover the cost of canning.
