FORBES HYBRID TEA ROSES IN POTS

Here are five reasons for choosmg potted Roses versus dormant bushes. (1) AII plants are No. 1 grade, any 
smaller will not succeed in pots. (2) Our potted Roses have been growing in soil smce March 1, virtually equiva- 
Ient to dormant Roses planted last fall. (8) When set in your garden, potted Roses continue growth without 
loss of time or setback. (4) Before buying you can see that our potted Roses are radiantly alive and growing. 
This means no losses or failures. (5) In June you can select your favorites from the actual blooms themselves.
