SPRING 1911. 
NEW FLORAL GUIDE, 
A “Reliable Beautiful Primer of Rose Culture” 
| 
“After years of Rose growing in places far apart, I think it not so much the soil 
or the climate as the care and skill of the cultivator that win success.”” 
The above sentence is quoted from a recent article entitled ‘‘Some Experiences ” by Rev. F. Page Roberts, President 
of the National Rose Society of England, which has a membership over 3000. 
OW TO GROW 
ROSES 
is a little book that 
has grown out of our years and 
years of experience in growing 
and selling Roses for America’s 
millions. Roses for beds and 
bouquets, for arbors or terraces. 
For the North and the South or 
wherever you live and for what- 
ever purpose. 
Here’s a book will tell you how 
to select and indeed which to 
select, how to prepare your beds, 
to plant the Roses and then how 
to care for them, what they need, 
cultivating, fertilizing, spraying, 
mulching, pruning, winter pro- 
tection, etc. 
An invaluable treatise to 
anyone who courts success and 
worth many times its cost.

Gentlemen:—Allow me to thank you 
for the copy of your little book ‘‘How 
to Grow Roses.’’ Within its covers 
you have placed all the information 
necessary to help the beginner to be 
successful in growing Roses. The 
selection of varieties for the various 
sections of our country is excellent 
and could not be improved. 
Your cultural directions are of the 
best, brief and to the point; they will 
prove of great benefit to your custom- 
ers, and if followed closely will give 
them many beautiful Roses in return. 
Allow me to say that the stock you 
have sent me has given me unfailing 
satisfaction. Very truly yours, 
PETER BISSET, Rose Grower.
