LAMBERTUS C. BOBBINK, Founder and President 
ITH practically seventy years of pleasurable experience in the growing and dis- 
semination of many varieties of plants, both old and new, the thought has come 
to me what a full life may be lived by those interested in nature, and were it pos- 
sible to eae back the clock, I would, I feel sure, have no hesitation in again traveling the 
same road. 
In this great number of years many changes have occurred, but the love of plants for 
their beauty, companionship and utility still persists and grows ever stronger. In fact, 
life depends on plants, whether they be the lowly grasses consumed by our cattle, medicinal 
plants from which many of our drugs are manufactured, or the stately Oaks, Rhododen- 
drons, Azaleas, Roses and Hardy Perennials, all of which add to the well-being and happi- 
ness of the human race. 
Often I gain the impression from our many friends that they regard my firm as specializ- 
ing only in Roses. Whereas it is a fact that we were the first firm in the United States to 
grow two-year-old, field-grown, budded plants on hardy Multiflora understocks, and only 
a few thousand were at first produced, Roses today are grown by the million using the 
same method of which we were the pioneers. However, Roses are not our only love; our 
efforts to produce better plants extend into the fields of Coniferous Evergreens, Rhododen- 
drons, Azaleas (outdoor and tender types), Andromedas, Hollies, Flowering Shrubs, Shade 
and Flowering Trees, and Hardy Perennial Plants. In our approximately 8 acres of green- 
houses a host of other members of the plant world are grown. 
We have attempted in our more than fifty years of existence to bring to American 
gardeners, and in fact to gardeners everywhere, well-grown quality plants. Even today in 
these troublous times we are receiving requests from such places as China, Australia, India, 
Brazil, Argentina, and many others from plant-lovers searching for better plants for 
better living. 
EVERBLOOMING HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Prices as noted, less quantity discount of 10% for any 50 or more of these Hybrid Tea Roses 
ROM the Iong list of thousands of varieties we and others have 
brought mto commerce over a period of many years, you will find in 
cause practically all of them are found dependable under the widest range 
of soil and climatic conditions. 
this section only those that have survived the test for plant-vigor and 
blooming habits in most parts of the United States. 
The Everblooming Roses give beautiful flowers over the Iongest season, 
beginning about ten weeks after they are planted in spring and continuing 
right up until late frosts. Those planted in the fall produce their finest 
blooms the first year in early summer and continue throughout the season. 
Practically all Everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses are fragrant at some time 
of the day. Most of them are reliably hardy all over the United States if 
protected in winter as recommended on the cultural instructions that ac- 
company each shipment. 
We have purposely omitted reference to comparative plant-vigor be- 
Planting Directions: Average 15 to 18 inches apart each way. This 
does not mean that Hybrid Tea Roses must be planted in a bed by them- 
selves. It is true that when they are planted in quantities, then one should 
keep them together to simplify maintenance. However, delightful effects 
are obtained by planting groups of 3 to 5 near the edges of shrubbery 
borders, or wherever it may be suitable for you to enjoy the lovely Roses 
even though it may be in partial shade. 
Most of the tested varieties in this section will thrive in an ordinary 
garden soil capable of growing other deciduous plants.
