HENDERSON'S FAMOUS ROSES 



FOR AUTUMN PLANTING 



Field Grown Two-Year-Old Dormant Plants 



We start digging and shipping roses about October 20th 

 They are packed in damp sphagnum moss, and as the roots 

 are not exposed to the air, the plants reach our customer? 

 fresh and full of vitality. 



Roses can be planted in the fall 

 as long as the ground is free from 

 frost. Many rosarians prefer fall 

 planting because the plants then 

 receive the advantage of an early 

 start in spring. Thes^ roses are 

 budded low, and when planting 

 the bud or union should be placed 

 just below the surface of the soi 

 Be careful to spread the root? 

 out well.
