Enjoy Better Results with Armstrong Roses 
If there is a short cut to successful rose growing, you'll find it only in planting the best bushes you can buy. And, you can buy none 
finer than those which are Armstrong-produced. The proof that they are better is simple—it lies in our files which are bulging with 
letters from pleased customers from North, East, South and West—everywhere in the country. Time after time these friends tell 
us that Armstrong roses are the best they have ever received from anywhere. 
The picture at the right shows a field of the plants we will be deliver- 
ing in late 1952 and early 1953. Photographed in June, they have 
nearly six months longer to grow so that at digging time they will be 
almost twice this size! When you plant them in your garden you'll find 
that these big, husky, well-rooted bushes will start faster and more 
easily and bloom more quickly. Our customers tell us that these bushes 
set out in the spring will invariably outperform less mature plants 
which have been set out in the fall. 
They Grow Anywhere 
For most of the soil and climatic conditions found in the rose growing 
areas of America, the special root stock and the inherent vigor of these 
California-grown plants make a combination that is hard to beat. 
fhat You Can Have 
and Quickly, Too 
In just a few short weeks after planting Armstrong roses you Can enjoy 
lots of bloom. This picture taken in our rose display garden shows 
some plants which had been set out less than three months earlier. 
The variety happens to be Buccaneer, our new brilliant yellow intro- 
duction for 1953. A few weeks earlier these plants had a lot more 
bloom on them than you see now. If you will look closely, you will 
see a great number of buds which will soon be opening to another 
glorious mass of bloom. 
By the way, if you live in Southern California or if you happen to be 
in this area, be sure to visit our display garden at Ontario. There are 
over 1200 plants of the finest rose varieties for you to see and enjoy. 
The garden is open to you at any time from April through November.
