ROSE SPECIAL

At digging time some roses get mixed and the names are lost. If you want Good roses at a lesser price we will sell this kind or roses of our own selections at $5.00 per doz. or 6 for $3.00.

While we specialize in roses we also grov7 a general line of hardy nursery stock that is suit- able to our climate.

We have old fruit trees transplanted that will give results, a select stock of berry and small fruits, extra choice transplanted two year old Logans, etc.

Evergreens and broad leafed flowering ever- greens of our own growing.

Paeonies in many varieties both devided or clumps, they bloom before the roses and take very little care.

Iris, (the poor man’s orchid). They require very little or no care, especially good for steep banks that wash.

YES— WE DO

Practical landscape designing and planting. If you have landscape problems let us help you solve them. Will call on you by appointment.

We guarantee our stock true to name, and to live and will replace free, any stock that proves otherwise, providing the stock had been given proper and judicious care and we are notified by July 1st.
