Pictured at the right is one of 
our fields of roses which will be 
harvested and delivered to you 
during the late fall of 1953 and 
early winter of 1954. Grown in 
the beautiful Santa Clara Valley 
which is known as the “Valley of 
Heart’s Delight”, these bushes 
with their sturdy canes and well- 
developed root systems will pro- 
duce plants for you next season 
which will grow vigorously, 
bloom profusely, and bring much 
delight into your hearts. The 
photograph was taken in early 
July as the plants were complet- 
ing their first bloom. Already 
waist high at this time, they still 
had five months to continue their 
growth and fully mature before 
being dug, processed and shipped 
to eager customers all over the 
country. 
We cordially invite you to fol- 
low the map at the left to visit 
our growing fields, test gardens, 
and sales yards. The fields are 
generally in good bloom from 
June thru September. Our half 
mile of fence covered with climb- 
ers will not be as colorful this 
coming season since we are re- 
placing many of the older varie- 
CKING- ties. There will still be plenty of 
Sf GARDENS color though, especially in May 
and June.
