R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE. 



Spring is the best season in which to plant Roses. The soil should be deep and deeply dug, and it should be 

 enriched with a liberal dressing of old rotten manure and some ground bone. The plants should be set so that the 

 roots will be nine to twelve inches below the surface; when there are fibrous roots these should be separated and 

 laid out horizontally, never bent or doubled over.
