Only The Best Of Plants Scientifically Grown In Our Nurseries Are Used In 
SEAL-KRAFT Packages. 
VARIETIES: There are approximately 5000 different varieties of roses known. It is, of course, impossible for us 
to list all varieties. Therefore, we grow and list only the most outstanding varieties chosen both for their 
superior characteristics as plants and for their proven ability as sales leaders. 
GRADES OF PLANTS: We have always maintained our own standards of grading for our various brands of 
packaged plants. Because of numerous requests for comparison of our brands with AAN (American Association 
of Nurserymen) standards, the following is noted. There is no comparable grade for our Silver Seal. Only the 
heaviest and most select plants from the best 10% of our crop are used in this grade. Plants in our Gold Seal 
brand are never less than a No. 1; plants in our Red Seal brand are never less than a medium or 1% grade, and 
often are heavy enough for No. 1. Plants in our RC3 bundles are light grade plants, roughly equal to a standard 
No. 2 grade or better, while plants in our RD5 are a mixture of light grade plants with branches too short for 
standard wrap, or with a heavy single cane, etc. 
Besides a size gradation, which, of course, is important, all plants possess an invisible quality which is often far 
more important than physical size or shape and that is life or vitality. This is the quality (if you wish to call it 
that) without which no plant can grow. Our every effort is guided towards protection of this vitality. We believe 
SEAL-KRAFT processed plants possess as near 100% of their natural vitality as it is humanly possible to achieve. 
Proof of this is found in the fact that replacement of SEAL-KRAFT packaged plants is normally negligible. 
IMITATIONS: Because serious misunderstandings and severe losses have been experienced by several firms (that 
we know of; many that we don’t know probably) as a result of misinformation, the following statements are made. 
All packaged plants sold by C. E. Wilson Nurseries of Jacksonville, Texas, and Wilson’s Nurseries of Manchester, 
Connecticut, are completely protected by the patented SEAL-KRAFT process—the original wax coating process— 
and bear the SEAL-KRAFT trade mark. Conversely SEAL-KRAFT packaged plants are grown, processed, and 
packaged only by C. E. Wilson Nurseries of Jacksonville, Texas, and Wilson Nurseries of Manchester, Connecti- 
cut. We have absolutely no connection with any other nurseries bearing the Wilson name or any other name. 
BULK OR BARE ROOT ROSE BUSHES: In addition to our packaged plants we are in a position to supply 
rose bushes in bulk, bare root (not individually packaged). Our cold storage and shipping facilities are unexcelled 
and enable us to make shipment of good strong plants in the best of condition anytime from lst of October to 
1st of May. Write for our special price and variety list. 
SHIPPING SEASON: Fall planting can be accomplished any time after October 1st and since fall is the best time 
of year for planting in the South, more and more consumers are purchasing their plants at this time. Stores are 
advised to take advantage of this trend and increase their plant sales by ordering shipments for October and 
November. Our shipping season starts October 1st and shipments can be made anytime thereafter. Also, because 
of our cold storage facilities, shipments can be extended through April thus increasing the length of the selling 
season. 
SHIPPING FACILITIES: Our complete handling, storage and packaging facilities are unexcelled. Because our 
stock is in storage at all times we can ship freshly packaged stock on short notice, usually the same day order 
is received. Our location in Jacksonville, which is served by three railroads and four truck lines, enables us to 
select a routing that will insure fast delivery. 
TERMS: Orders should be made out in multiples of 6 of a variety. Deluxe Silver Seal in all instances and Gold 
Seal Brand where so specified on orders will be packed 12 to a carton suitable for display use. Otherwise, orders 
will be shipped in convenient size cartons with quantities as indicated in price schedules. All prices quoted are 
wholesale prices, net 30 days from date of invoice and are F.O.B. Jacksonville, Texas. Prices are for immediate 
acceptance only, All stock is offered subject to being unsold on receipt of order and without liability to us should 
the stock be injured in frost, hail, fire or other cause beyond our control. 
FREIGHT AND STORAGE ALLOWANCE: When quantities on an order make a full carload (approximately 
10,000 units) stock will be shipped somewhat in advance and will be placed in cold storage for withdrawal when 
and as needed by customer, thus providing nursery fresh stock throughout entire selling season. In such in- 
stances FULL FREIGHT AND STORAGE CHARGES WILL BE ALLOWED. This same arrangement will be made 
whenever all orders from various firms in any locality combine to make a carload shipment possible. To effect this 
saving, all orders should be forwarded as far in advance as possible.
