In this little Rose book we are attempting to acquaint you with the better 
Roses that are available today. 
Gerard K. Klyn has been growing Roses here in Mentor, Ohio, for the last 
thirty years. Our farms are located along the shores of Lake Erie where the soil 
and climatic conditions are most favorable to growing A No. 1 Roses. Mr. Klyn, 
who grew Roses in Holland before coming to Mentor, supervises and rigidly in- 
spects all operations from the time the understock is set in the ground until the 
finished plant is dug. 
Gerard K. Klyn, Inc., spares no expense to grow Roses properly, dig them 
carefully, and pack them so they reach you in the very best condition. 
Fall is the ideal time to plant Roses. The plants are ripened off carefully and 
are freshly dug. You, as a garden lover, receive your plants full of vitality. Re- 
member, all our stock is grown here in Mentor, where we can supervise digging 
and handling. Roses planted in the fall will give you better blooms, and a greater 
number of them next spring, because they make new roots in late fall and start 
growing earlier the next year. 
Prepare the bed in advance, and when the plants arrive, it will take you only 
a matter of minutes to set them out. 
Place your orders early—AT ONCE, if possible, to avoid disappointment. 
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. 
Your plants will be shipped at the proper time for planting, usually around 
November 3. We will pay the postage on all shipments, and we guarantee the 
plants to bloom at the next normal flowering period after planting provided you 
follow our instructions. Full instructions will be found in each shipment.
