branched stems.

Planting directions in each ship- 
Our roses are grown in the North and are, therefore, better adapted to northern con- 
ditions than those grown in the South. Production of good roses requires skilled 
laborers. These are not available in sufficient numbers to produce nearly enough plants 
to meet the increasing demand so good roses will, again this year, be in short supply. 
In order to avoid disappointment we urge you to place your order early. We 
will book orders as they are received against our existing supply and ship them at the 
No plants sent west of Illinois or 
south of Virginia. 
Please indicate on your order 
whether we may substitute varieties 
of similar color for the ones you have 
ordered.
