 under Flower Seeds make excellent 

 neutral-colored ground covers for rose

 summer baking. Try them this year.

*?t*tet ROSES 



The quality and quantity of blooms you get, 

 of course starts with the best bushes you can 

 buy . . . the top-grade, vigor-packed, 

 Number 1, northern-grown plants offered 

 on these pages, for example. The care from 

 this point is the other deciding factor in 

 growing successful roses. Feeding and pro- 

 tecting against insects and disease are two 

 major factors, and we repeat below the 

 descriptions from our Fertilizer-Insecticide 

 pages, two products, which we recommend 

 for these purposes. We suggest that you 

 order them, together with a good spray gun, 

 when you order your roses. 

 Red Barn Rose Food. Especially balanced 

 food for roses. Contains the essential ele- 

 ments to vitalize the entire plant, adding 

 color and vigor as well as building up resis- 

 tance to disease. Long-time favorite. 5 lbs. 

 $1.10. 



Rose Dust. A control maintaining proper 

 toxic ingredients to kill many sucking and 

 chewing insects on roses. Mildew, black-spot 

 and some blights are kept in check by added 

 fungicides. Can be used as spray or dust. 

 Lb. $1.25; 4 lbs. $3.90.
