Geautify Your Garden with the Would s 
FALL 1955 + SPRING 1956 
Our rose bushes are all good, healthy, field grown. Each bush is labeled true to name. If any prove 
otherwise, we will gladly replace them. 
All but a few varieties of our rose bushes are budded on Odorata root stock. From tests conducted in 
many sections of the country, this root stock has proven the best, as hybrid-tea varieties budded on 
it outgrow and live longer than any other root stocks. We grow all the rose bushes offered for sale 
in this catalog at our nursery at Stockton. We also exercise the greatest of care in digging, packing, 
and shipping so that they get to you in the best condition possible. 
We will replace any bushes that you receive from us that were damaged in shipping if notified within 
ten days, but do not replace good bushes that are planted and do not grow as there are too many 
soil and climatic conditions involved over which we have no control, 
The first Spring after planting rose bushes, remove only old flowers, leaving all stems and leaves possible. 
All our rose bushes, if given proper care, will bloom for you the first Spring and will continue all Summer 
and Fall. Climbing roses bloom very little the first year, but will be covered with bloom the second 
Spring.
