Gentlemen: 
Did you send those Roses to these people? 
The first lot went to Mr. L.A. Boldthen in the 
cold part of Minnesota where they were reported 
doing well after several winters as cold as 35° below. 
And then there is that collection that went into 
the Miami area to Mrs. Pauline Bagnal who writes; if 
anyone inquires you may tell them that Sub Zero Roses 
will grow beautifully in Miami. They outgrow and out 
perform the more tender sorts. 
But the lot planted in the Central United States 
at a University campus in association with the local 
Rose Society, and including a large number of the 
best of other popular varieties, were the basis of a 
report that summed up hundreds of other reports; by 
telling of so much satisfaction with Sub Zero Roses 
that all others would be discontinued and the entire 
Rose garden would consist of Brownell Roses. 
Why such a drastic decision? 
Because they grow more, bloom more on better 
bushes and look better all summer long and until frost. 
Even if you didn't send any of these; wouldn't 
you like to please your customers with more Roses 
like that. 
Now is the time to send in your order, from the 
Fall crop before shortages come up. 
Sincerely, 
Ws My 2 af
