RED ROSES 
RED RADIANCE. The most widely planted 
everblooming rose because it is so easy 
to grow. Free blooming, healthy and 
hardy. Nice buds. 
ETOILE DE HOLLANDE, Many regard this 
as the finest of all non-patented dark 
red roses. Lovely, dark-red buds. Good 
grower. A red rose that will not disap- 
point you. 
CRIMSON GLORY. Formerly a patented, 
high-price rose, but the patent has ex- 
pired. This is one of the two highest 
rated roses in the world, and well de- 
serves all the high praise that has been 
bestowed upon it. Large, urn shaped 
buds are followed by well-formed flow- 
ers of striking vivid crimson. Don’t fail 
to include Crimson Glory in your rose

PARAFFINED or 
WAXED ROSES 
Grayway Rose Bushes are NOT 
Waxed or Paraffined 
Our experience with waxed rose bushes 
has been that when the hot Texas sun 
hits and melts the wax during the sum- 
mer, it causes the injury or death of 
thousands of rose bushes. Waxing is fine 
to keep the bushes from drying out during 
the winter, both at the nursery and after 
planting, but what is to be gained by this, 
if the melting wax kills them later? 
We may decide to wax the outer por- 
tions and tips of the canes—but if we do, 
it will be only that portion of the canes 
that should be pruned away just as

Field-grown 2-year Bushes 
growth starts in the spring. If you should 
get any bushes from us with the ends of 
the canes waxed, be sure to cut off this 
waxed portion long before hot weather— 
do it shortly after growth starts in the 
spring. We hope to have a new p'an 
whereby we may avoid even this slight 
use of wax. 
PRUNING FOR PLANTING 
Dr. A. F. DeWerth, Prof. of Floriculture, 
Texas A. & M. College recommends prun- 
ing newly planted hybrid tea (nearly all 
of our bush roses are H. T.) to about 6 to 
12 inches (4 buds should be left on each 
of 4 or S stems). 
We usually cut canes to anywhere from 
12 to 18 inches before shipping; so you'll 
need to prune them more, perhaps, at the 
proper time
