Ny Rose Garden 
BY RUSSELL RAMSEY 
Here, midst my roses, I may come to worship 
Beauty, fragrance, sunshine, grassy sod. 
The sanctuary of a quiet cathedral 
Where I may rest, and be alone with God. 
Behind, I leave all evil, care, and sorrow, 
And from my roses humbly learn to pray— 
As in the breeze they wave a friendly greeting— 
That my life reflect some beauty every day. 
*Thank you so much!” 
May we thank you, our Rose Friends, for another year of cherished association and for your 
patronage. Your letters of comment are an inspiration to spur us on to try to give you more efficient service, as well as 
better roses, which we have been attempting to do for over twenty years. We shall be looking forward to hearing from 
you soon again. Cordially, 
It is our desire to create an interesting rose booklet with practical 
suggestions and one easily used. We shall appreciate all comments on 
this booklet in order to improve it in future years. 
We have tried to describe all roses as we see them in our gardens. 
From time to time, our impressions change as we study the different 
varieties, both in our All American Rose Selections Test Gardens and 
in our growing fields. Therefore we attempt to give you the advantage 
of our testing and study in this booklet. 
CALIFORNIA ROSES 
We are proud of our California grown roses and believe you will 
be, too, once you have seen them. Our pride does not end with their 
nativity, but is in their quality and selectivity as well. 
It is you, our friends, who make the Stocking Rose Gardens possible. 
We know it. We appreciate it. Our only way of showing appreciation 
is by giving you as fine a product as possible in a prompt and courteous 
way. We strive to measure up to this standard. 
Your satisfaction is our excuse for existing. We want your garden 
to have the biggest and the best. Our interest does not end with your 
purchase. Thus it is our privilege to strive to give satisfaction in service, 
quality, and dependability. 
PINTO TAG 
We are pleased to announce that our nursery has been the first one

THE ALL AMERICA 
ROSE SELECTIONS 
The roses carrying this distinctive emblem are the most outstanding 
rose introductions of recent years. New introductions are being judged 
constantly in all eighteen All American Rose Selection Test Gardens in 
the United States. 

The A.A.R.S. is an organization of nurserymen and hybridizers 
banded together for the specific purpose of selecting the best new intro- 
ductions each year. New roses are sent to the eighteen test gardens 
where they are tested over a period of two years before they are intro- 
duced to the general public. These roses are scored on thirteen basic 
points, such as form, disease resistance, etc. in these eighteen gardens 
which are located in as many different regions. At the end of two years, 
if any of the roses attain a high enough score, they are judged to be 
All America Winners. 
Thus roses carrying this distinctive honor are roses of proven 
abilities. 
We are happy to say here that we have one of these eighteen test 
gardens of which we are very proud. 
SHIPPING—Our new rose crop is available about the end of 
December, at which time we commence shipping and continue through 
the middle of March. Our orders are handled in numerical order. We 
shall ship your order as promptly as possible at the proper planting time 
for your locality. Great care is taken in filling orders as well as in 
packing them to insure their reaching destinations in perfect condition. 
If through delay in shipping, the bushes should appear dry, bury the 
bushes in a trench, cover them completely with earth and keep wet for 
four days. Wet peat moss may be used if preferred. We guarantee every 
plant to be true to name and to reach you in good condition. 
SUBSTITUTIONS—We never substitute unless advised to do so. 
It is our deepest desire to supply each and everyone with the desired 
varieties of roses. However, due to unforseen circumstances, such as crop 
failures and unknown demands, we cannot always supply all of the 
varieties you order. Thus to eliminate correspondence and delay, may 
we ask if we may substitute varieties of equal or more value in the same 
color range as ordered, using our knowledge of the adaptability of varie- 
ties to your region, as our guide? It is our desire to serve you and to do 
it well; thus we ask this privilege of substitution. Please designate (yes 
or no) such permission on your order. 
TERMS—In keeping with the general practice of nurseries through- 
out the country, may we suggest you send cash with your orders. In 
cases where substitutions are not desired, prompt refunds will be made 
in appreciation of your initial kindness to us.
