WHAT TO PLANT 



they should be unpacked and planted care- 

 fully. Your care of them begins the minute 

 they are landed on your property, and they 

 must not be neglected in the rush of build- 

 ing and other work on a new place, or the 

 returns next Winter will not be what they 

 ought to be.

GRADING STICK 



This illustration represents the meas- 

 ure designed by Wm. H. Elliott of 

 Brighton, Mass., for use in grading 

 Roses, and is very useful, especially for 

 beginners; it also insures a standard 

 length in all grades. The measure is 

 of wood tapering to 1 in. wide at the 

 top ; the bottom has a brass plate screwed 

 on 3i/ 2 in. wide by 1% in. deep. Any 

 Rose which measures below the cross 

 (X) marks goes into the lower grade. 



The A. T. Stearns Lumber Co. of 

 Neponset, Boston, Mass., will supply one 

 of these measuring devices to any Rose 

 grower on request.
