Blooms and Plants in Abundance 101 



can get good young growing plants, and either 

 keep them in pots or set them in rich deep soil 

 about 12 X 12 inches, or 12 x 16 inches each way.

 autumn. But they may be put in in the fall. 

 A heavy soil, with plenty of well-rotted cow 

 manure, is best. 



Bridesmaid, a large pink flower, and Papa 

 Gontier, a good red, Perle des Jardins, yellow,

 and flower freely month after month. By all

 glorious of all everblooming yellow Roses, and 

 others of the Noisette type, too tender to be 

 planted outside in the northern states, will thrive 

 under glass. 



Even with a smgle medium-temperature house 

 Roses can be had the year round — and I'd rather 

 have the clustering golden masses of the Noisette
