S.N.& S.CO’S PEERLESS HARDY ROSES 
STRONG TWO - YEAR - OLD POTTED PLANTS 
FOR THE COLD NORTHWEST — ALL PREPAID 
We are continuing our most satisfactory custom of offering only 
started pot- grown Roses (unless otherwise noted). While this 
makes the price a trifle higher compared with dormant stock, it 
affords our customers a better stock, quicker blooms and far more 
satisfaction. Our two-year-old field-grown Roses are put in large 
pots in January and grown in cool greenhouses. By May they are 
in full leaf, possibly showing buds, and the roots are well estab- 
lished in a ball of soil. Planting is easy and there is no check in 
srowth. We ship at the proper planting time.
