Spring and Summer Plants 
INDEX—Back Cover 
In issuing the 1949 Spring and Summer Plant catalog we again wish to say that our constant 
endeavor is to offer as complete a list of the better varieties of plants as possible. 
Most of the plants have been grown in pots where they have developed good roots. 
They 
can be transplanted to the garden with a good start over seedlings or plants grown directly from 
seed. 
Pot Grown Superb Tea Roses 
‘ 
The roses offered in the following list are POT GROWN, well-rooted, strong plants ready 
to bloom, and may be transplanted into the garden without the slightest setback, instead of 
waiting for dry, dormant plants to get started, and the chance of failure. They will bloom many 
weeks before the dormant stock and thereby lengthen our short season.
