The Rose is rightfully called the Queen of All Flowers. None other can equal its fra- 
grance, its colorful beauty, its grace, its freedom of bloom from spring to frost—each 
flower bringing its message of joy, cheer and beauty. 
Can you think of another hobby that will provide more pleasure and more beauty for 
you than growing roses? There is a thrill when you walk into a rose garden and smell the 
delightful fragrance of the beautiful flowers. 
Each year many thousands buy from this fascinating selection of glorious, hardy, ever- 
blooming roses. They will commence blooming 7 to 8 weeks after planting. PLANT 
ROSES EARLY, around the time when people are putting in early gardens. Plant 20 to 
24 inches apart. With each order we send Planting Instructions telling you how to plant 
and care for your roses. 
These are all strictly first quality, hardy, field-grown plants. This season they are ex- 
ceptionally fine, vigorous and husky. Some prefer to plant extra heavy bushes so we 
are making a special grade selecting the extra large, specimen plants, extra well-branched 
with extra strong root system. We also assure you that our regular 2-Year No. One 
grade will satisfy critical buyers. They are the kind which have made Inter-State roses 
famous all over America. The Standard 2-Year Medium (No. 14% grade) Plants are 
smaller than the 2-Year No. 1. They will bloom this summer and are a very good value.

C12 Allure (Plant Patent 886)—A new 
rose we are introducing this spring. Both 
we and Mr. H. C. Swim, the originator, 
think that it is the finest rose of its color. 
In the first place the plant is so healthy, 
vigorous and free-blooming, with glossy 
leathery foliage. It won a First Certificate 
at the Famous Bagatelle Gardens. The 
buds are large, pointed, perfect form and 
gradually unfurl to a very large, high-cen- 
tered flower with a pleasing fragrance. It 
lasts a long time. The color isa rich shining 
Neyron rose suffused with gold and tinted 
salmon. When fully open the flowers are 5 
to 6 inches across. They come singly on 
long stems, very fine for cutting. Has very 
few thorns. A wonderful rose with a great 
future. Pictured on page 43.
