Dear Property Owner: cee Le ai 4 
Thanks for the opportunity of telling you about FORREST KEELING MULTIFLORA ROSE 
for fencing. sceessnrtnichasuameiecseierysas 
I certainly hope to have the pleasure of acquainting you with the exceptional qual- 
ity of our stock -—'’the opportunity to convince you that it's Keeling Quality for the 
rapid establishment of the outstanding living fence. 
We're far short of an adequate supply of plants for spring sales - fall business was 
a little too good. So I will suggest that you determine your requirements and let 
us book your order just as soon as possible. Early spring planting is best and we 
want you to receive your plants just as soon as your soil can be worked. 
Our stock of No. 2 Size and "Country Club" Size plants is already exhausted. But we 
can still supply No. 1 plants - excellent for farm fencing - and the famous JUMBO 
grade - unsurpassed for a quick farm fence or for planting the home grounds with a 
protective, climb-proof barrier. 
Despite the limited supply, we are continuing to hold our prices to a minimum...... 
Size Per 100 Plants Per 1000 Plants

No. 1 $5275 | $45.00 $41.00 
JUMBO 9.30 T2e00 59.00 
No. 1 plants are branched 15 to 18 inches (before pruning). Jumbo plants are stocky, 
18 to 24 inch plants (before pruning) with extra heavy root systems. 
Plants are priced and will be snipped f.o.b. Elsberry, Missouri. Shipping charges 
via Express or Parcel Post are very moderate for shipping anywhere in the U.S. (Ship- 
ping weights per 1000 plants are approximately 36 lbs. for #1 and 65 lbs. for JUMBO. 
Remember, a Keeling Multiflora Fence is developed by spacing plants one foot or two 
feet apart in a single row. (We are convinced it is better to use our vigorous 
stock at a two-foot spacing than to use ordinary stock at a one-foot spacing. Never- 
theless, a one-foot spacing makes a more rapid, more impenetrable barrier.) Our 
planting instructions describe in detail the simple steps in planting and developing 
a Keeling Fence. 
Sincerely yours, 
ee

I guarantee that 95% of the No.1 and JUMBO size Forrest Keeling Multiflora Rose 
that you buy from this price list will live. 
If you will notify me before September 1, 1950 of the number over 5% which do not 
live, replacement will be made equal to 95% of the number originally purchased. 
No. 2 size will ordinarily give excellent survival but I limit the guarantee to 
85% because this smaller size is more vulnerable to adverse weather and site.
