IMPORTANT! 
Place your orders early— 
AT ONCE, if possible. Orders 
are filled in the rotation in 
which they are received, and 
if our supply of some varieties 
is low, the early orders always 
get the preference.

ALL-AMERICA ROSE 
SELECTIONS 
The All-America Award is 
the highest distinction bestowed 
in this country on the very best 
new Roses. Plants are sent to 
eighteen official test gardens 
and six demonstration gardens 
located in different parts of the 
country so that all major types 
of climate, soil, and other grow- 
ing conditions are represented. 
For two years, expert, impartial 
judges carefully check the de- 
velopment and growth of all 
Roses, scoring each one on 
separate and distinct qualities. 
The highest scores are then 
submitted to the National Rose 
Jury, which selects the winners. 
Gardeners can buy these new 
Rose varieties with confidence, 
knowing they are getting the 
very best.

SPRING PLANTING 
SPECIAL DISCOUNT~— Please Read Carefully 
6 to 11 plants, 5% off the each price 
12 to 24 plants, 10% off the each price 
25 or more plants, 15% off the each price 
NO DISCOUNT ON TREE ROSES @ NO FURTHER DISCOUNT ON COLLECTIONS 
NO FURTHER DISCOUNT ON THE 3 OR 12 PRICE OF ONE VARIETY 
Instead of listing in this catalog a great many inflexible ‘‘collections’ or 
“groups,” we have decided to let you make your own collections and still 
receive the benefit of a discount. 
The total number of plants in your order determines the discount to which 
you are entitled. However, should your order include one or more of the col- 
lections we do offer, or one or more varieties of which three or more plants are 
ordered, the discount cannot be deducted from the price of these since it has 
already been allowed. 
Example: An order calling for one Collection 12, three Peace, one Mission 
Bells, and one Capistrano is entitled to the 10% discount, but the 10% can be 
figured only on the each price of Mission Bells and Capistrano, since the price 
of the Collection and the three rate have already received the discount. 
Another Example: An order of six Roses, one each of six varieties, your choice, 
receives the 5% discount. Here the total amount of the entire order is eligible 
for discount since each plant is priced at the each rate. 
MUL-TEX 
labor Saver « Water Saver ¢ Beautifer 
We cannot praise the advantages of Mul-Tex enough. By eliminating hoeing, 
weeding and watering almost entirely, its value as a time and labor saver is 
obvious. Weeds will not grow in Mul-Tex, nor can they get a start to go through 
it. After covering the ground with Mul-Tex, the need for watering is over. 
Except in the hottest, driest weather over a prolonged period, Mul-Tex holds 
the moisture right up to ground level. The soil is cooler, and aération is no 
problem since air passes easily through Mul-Tex. 
The rich, dark brown color of Mul-Tex provides an ideal color background 
for any plant or flower. It is composed entirely of buckwheat hulls and can be 
worked into the ground in late fall to improve the soil structure, or it can be saved 
for another year’s use. It is better, however, to use fresh Mul-Tex each year. 
Mul-Tex is very easy to apply. The soil should be worked, weeded and raked 
as smooth as possible. Fertilization should be done at this time, before raking, 
to save time. Mul-Tex should be applied 1 to 2 inches thick. Then you can sit 
back and enjoy the largest, most perfect blooms and the healthiest plants you 
have ever had.
