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, 
1954 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.
