HOW TO GROW ROSES 



For Screen Planting and Borders, or Beautifying 

 the Unsightly 



Almost every lawn might be improved, if some uncomely 

 object or portion in the rear were screened from view. The 

 right kind of roses will do it, and give you something beauti- 

 ful instead. There are two ways to do it: (i) put up a trellis 

 and train over it the roses named in the above section; or 

 (2) if it be a low screen, you need only to plant the tall, 

 erect-growing Rugosa roses. And if you want a luxuriant 

 growth, dig the ground deeply and give these roses plenty 

 of rich nourishment.

These eight varieties, if set in one group, should be placed 

 at least 2 to 3 feet apart. 



Wonderfully pleasing effects may be obtained for screen- 

 ing out undesirable objects or views by the erection of trellis 

 formations. These may be made of various designs and 

 materials; but, for roses, wood seems to be preferred. Over 

 these train the roses recommended on pages 68 and 69.
