Greetings 0 0 « Fo 4M Our Prieuds aud Customers 
It is our pleasure to present our new catalogue for 1955, our 
fifty-seventh year of furnishing gardeners and plant lovers with qual- 
ity plants in a continued endeavor to help beautify our country. 
Truly, the gardener who prepares the soil and plants derives 
many pleasures: The inspiration of the flowers turning their faces 
to the sun; the first green growth appearing through the last snows 
of winter; the trees and plants swaying and dancing in the breeze. 
Green life is forever renewed with satisfaction and pleasure for 
all who love nature. Enjoy your garden away from all the trials 
and disturbances of the day. There is real happiness and relaxa- 
tion in your garden. None so contented as he who can enjoy the 
fruits of his labors from the good earth. 
Here at Bobbink & Atkins we have for many years offered large 
stocks of quality plants including Roses, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, 
Flowering Shrubs and Trees, Perennials and Ground Covers. We 
trust it may be our privilege to supply you with plants to give you 
years of enjoyment. 
We also have pleasure in introducing to you for the first time 
our new, glorious, everblooming Climbing Rose, Ruby Glow, and our 
beautiful new Pyracantha, well named “Sensation”, both of which 
we hope you will want to plant and enjoy. 
With all good wishes for success and happy gardening. 
BOBBINK & ATKINS. 
 Ad- America ROSE SELECTIONS 
In 1938 a group of nationally known Rose nurserymen founded the non-profit organization 
named All-America Rose Selections. There are now over 26 Rose Test Gardens from coast to 
coast where impartial Rose experts judge and score the new hybrids over at least two year 
periods. Thousands of un-named varieties have thus been tested but only a comparatively 
few are finally selected for the highest and most coveted distinction in rosedom which is the 
og 
AARS award. Since the founding of this organization, of which we are proud to be charter 
members, awards have been made to all the varieties on these two pages.
