Dear Rosarians: 
Another year has passed in which we have been privileged to 
enjoy you, our Rose Friends. Please feel free to call on us when- 
ever we may be of assistance to you in growing better roses. 
Cordially, 
CLYDE and RAMONA STOCKING 
It is our pleasure to present this little booklet of roses to you. We 
have endeavored to describe the newest introductions as well as the 
more familiar varieties as we see them. As a member of the All America 
Rose Selections, we are in a position to test the new introductions three 
vears before they are released, thereby giving you the advantage of 
our testing. We hope you will get as big a thrill from seeing new 
roses for the first time as we do. 
PINTO TAG 
We are pleased to announce that our nursery has been the first one 
in Northern California to receive this award. This tag signifies that 
the nursery has been given a clean bill of health, and that the stock 
may be shipped into a number of the bay area counties without further 
inspection.
