ORIENTAL ROSE VINE 
(Convolvulus Japonica Flora Plena) 
An outstanding plant with a two-fold purpose — excellent as a 
ground cover for those hot, sunny banks and other open areas 
where a low-viny growth is wanted, or to cover that space between 
the house and sidewalk. Also ideal for covering fences and trel- 
lises where great height is not needed. 
Beautiful clear pink flowers are so large and fully double they 
resemble roses: these fully double flowers are two to three inches 
across and are produced in great abundance all summer long. 
BIG GIFT PLA 
To every customer who sends us an order before April 1st, 
1953 accompanied by cash in full at regular catalog rate (this 
doesn’t apply on bargains or special quotations), and who 
in addition sends us the names and addresses of three fruit 
growers, or purchasers of nursery’ stock, we will include without 
charge the following number of Oriental Rose vines. 
2 Oriental Rose Vine (Priced at $1.50) with cash orders 
between $5.00 and $10.00. 
5 Oriental Rose Vines (Priced at $3.50) with cash orders 
for $10.00 or more. 
We can handle and ship a $5.00 or $10.00 order with very 
little extra expense over a smaller order and we pass the saving 
on to you in this premium value. Let your neighbor help. 
Two persons may combine orders and divide the premium if 
shipped to one person. 
These root-hardy vines literally bloom themselves upward as 
they grow to a height of about six feet. Once established, these 
plants will take care of themselves and reward you with beauty 
throughout the growing season. Roots should be planted 12 to 
18 inches apart and about one to two inches deep. 
PRICE: 41, to 6-inch roots, with 4 to 6 eyes, 75c each; 3 
for $2.10; 6 for $4.00; 12 for $7.00. 
NTING 3.627. 
Be sure to send the three names and addresses with 
your order (Use space provided on the order sheet.) The 
gift positively will not be sent unless customer complies 
with this condition. This offer open until April Ist, 1953. 
Our supply of the Oriental Rose Vine is too limited to make this 
offer effective after April Ist. On all cash orders received after 
April Ist, when accompanied by three names referred to, we 
will include the Oriental Rose Vine if still available: but if not, 
we will include additional nursery stock of our own selection ag 
to variety and value. 
No special bargain collections are included in this gift 
planting offer. Nor cash orders where a special reduced 
price has been quoted.
