We devote twenty large greenhouses to the growing of roses in pots, turning out nearly half million of plants annually. In addition to this we are the largest growers of two-year old field grown hardy roses in America, our plantings the present season covering over twenty acres, and numbering over 300,000 strong thrifty plants, that are well worth traveling miles to see, during June and July when they are a blaze of bloom.
