A Kosc Garden Planting Scheme 



BEES, LTD. 



Bees, Ltd., have from the very beginning centred 

 the whole of their policy and energy in catering for the 

 wants of the amateur gardener. As to whether they 

 have been successful or not may be gauged from the 

 fact that they are now the largest growers of Roses in 

 the world. On their 400-acre Rose and plant farm in 

 North Wales, even in pre-war days, it was no un- 

 common sight to see from 800,000 to 1,000,000 Roses 

 in various stages of development. It, therefore, goes 

 without saying that their policy has earned the recog- 

 nition of the discriminating grower. 



Bees, Ltd., are not only growers, they are raisers. 

 During the past two years they have put on the market 

 12 new seedling Hybrid Tea Roses, six of whidh have 

 received awards from the National Rose Society. 

 Special attention is drawn to the fact that all Bees* 

 New Roses are Hybrid Seedlings, obtained by cross- 

 ing two varieties, and are, therefore, fixed. Unlike 

 some of the yellow forms of Mme. Ed. Herriot, which 

 are " sports," they do not revert or go back to the 

 parent form. 



Other interesting features of the way Bees, Ltd., 

 cater for the amateur Rose grower are the Special 

 Collections of Roses based on the National Rose 

 Society's Selections, and the unique natural photo- 

 colour pictures which are reproduced in their cata- 

 logues, which are described by many people as works 

 of art. 



With the object of making this book as useful as 

 possible, the Editor has secured from Messrs. Bees 

 two planting schemes for two small Rose gardens as 

 per plan on opposite page.
