ROSES 


All our roses are grown by men who have had long years of experience in 
growing roses. The land on which they are grown is carefully selected for 
its ability to produce a very fibrous root system and strong vigorous tops. 
The buds are placed low on the understock thus eliminating “shanky” 
bushes and are nipped at just the right time te produce the maximum num- 
ber of low branched canes. ; 
Throughout the growing season they are fertilized regularly. After every 
rain or once per week, whichever would be most frequent, they are thoroughly 
dusted. 
By following this pattern we are able to hold the foliage on our roses 
throughout the summer. Consequently they continue to grow through the 
summer, storing up food for winter storage. 
They are dug only when thoroughly dormant and are transferred directly 
to iced cars for shipment to Shenandoah where they are carefully graded and 
placed in our modern cold storage until you request shipment. 
OUR ROSES ARE GUARANTEED TO PLEASE. 

All roses are tied No. 1 and No. 14%, 10 per bundle No. 2, 25 per bundle. We do 
not break bundles.
