Location of Nursery 
Our main nursery and packing house is located one mile east of the city center 
of Gresham on Powell Blvd., thirteen miles east of Portland, “The City of Roses.” 
Grading 
We observe the American Association of Nurserymen rules in regard to 
grading roses. A No. 1 must have three canes, two of which are 18 inches in 
length (climbers 24 inches); a No. 1%, two or more 15 inch canes; a No. 2, two or 
more 12 inch canes. This set of regulations applies to most varieties but an excep- 
tion is made of two inches per cane on a few of the lighter growing sorts. All 
others are classed as liners, which, when planted early in spring, will make good 
saleable stock for theafollowing year. 
Packing 
We pack light, but right. All our packing is done in pasteboard containers to 
save on transportation costs. Roots of plants are liberally packed in damp shingle- 
tow or peat moss to insure safe arrival at destination. In the case of rosebushes 
the packed weight per plant is approximately % lb., % lb., % 1b., for No.’s 1, 1%, 
and 2 respectively. We will be glad to trim tops back to any desired length to 
further save on shipping costs, which would be advisable in case the plants are 
to be potted for growing on. 
About Ordering 
All orders, including C.O.D.’s, must be accompanied with a one-fourth deposit 
on same. Our digging time on roses is generally the latter part of October depend- 
ing on the moisture content of the soil. We will be glad to book orders ahead for 
fall or spring shipment; the fact is, we can hold roses dormant till the first of May, 
if necessary. Order early to insure best selection of varieties. Give second choice 
where possible.
