TWO SPLENDID SETS FOR THE NORTH 



We reiilize that great numbers of people who Hve in the northern states think ihat they cannot yrow 

 I\o^es t)n account of the severe winters; but Roses can be grown in any climate, provided the right kinds 

 are planted, and we ha\e listed below twenty sturdy, vigorous kinds, most of them deliciously fragrant and 

 all of them free bloomers when they become established. Try both sets. 



THESE NEED NO PROTECTION 



The Roses in this set will grow and bloom profusely in the coldest 

 climate and need no winter protection, though some protection will 

 hrip the plants to bloom better the next summer. These are not 

 betiding Roses, and if planted together should be at least from 2)4 

 to 4 feet apart.

PROTECT THESE FOR WINTER 



The hardiest of the everblooming Roses are listed here, and all 

 should live through the most severe winters if protected as follows: 

 Before frost, hill the earth around the plants to about 8 or 9 inches 

 on the stems. When frozen, cover with strawy manure or leaves, 

 about 6 inches thick, and on top of all place a little roof by nailing 

 boards together in this way A. This sheds the rains and prevents 

 moisture collecting around the plants.
