bAT ENTERED ROSES 
WHAT THEY MEAN TO THE RETAIL NURSERYMAN 
All growers of Patented Roses are acting in the capacity of agents for the 
patent holders. We quote, therefore, from our several license agreements: 
“These patented varieties of roses are sold under license from patent own- 
er.” In these license agreements, we, as growers, are bound to sell only 
to retailers who abide by the price schedules recommended by the patent 
owners. 
Nurserymen stocking a line of these Patented Roses are thus protected 
from price cutting by any and all competitors. This is really a sound rea- 
son for the Retail Nurseryman to stock a good selection of patented 
varieties. 
Rose fanciers are well informed of these new varieties thru extensive in- 
formation published in the many editions distributed by the American 
Rose Society. Also these patented sorts are placed before the rose buying 
public in the form of many fine catalogues, with accurate descriptions and 
color reproductions of practically all patented varieties. This will aid you 
in increasing your sales.
