A ROSE FOR EVERY PLACE AND PURPOSE 
past oe “The success of the Rose in this country is very largely a question 
aS; : of the selection of adaptable varieties.’’—DR. LIBERTY H. BAILEY. 
The next page (7) will help you, no doubt, to avoid selecting those Roses not 
5 OS well suited to your climate, and to a choice of the right ones for your locality. That 
y= is very important. Having received your Roses, do you yet realize in how many 
different ways they may be used, what clever, original, and decorative arrangements 
snes SA may be employed to make your home beautiful? 
Let us note the climbing Roses, for example. It is difficult to imagine a home with grounds at all 
that is too small for at least one climbing Rose. A climbing Rose that covers the entire side of a house may 
need only two cubic feet of soil to grow in. (Please note in passing the rose-embowered house on page 19.) 
The ingenuity of our readers will conceive a greater variety of uses than the few examples pictured on this 
page. A much more complete treatment of the subject will be found in our book, ‘‘How to Grow Roses.” 
1. For Trellis. For covering a trellis, select from the climbers, pages 17 to 21, inclusive, and espe- 
cially those on page 18. A trellis may be made of wood, wire, or other materials, and may be used 
about the house, porch, or garden, or for a screen. 
2. For an Archway. Use the same varieties as for above. ‘‘Dig deep while sluggards sleep,”’ and 
you'll have Roses galore. The archway is most effective over a pathway or entrance. 
3. Pergola. A pergola, like an open tunnel, made up of a series of connected arches, should be covered 
with the same varieties recommended for arches, and is a great addition to any garden.

If your fences are already in place, why not cover them with Roses, for this can be 
done for a slight additional expense. From a single bush, like Dr. W. Van Fleet, you can 
get hundreds of perfect, large, long-stemmed blooms every year, that city folks are glad to 
get for $2 per dozen. These large-flowered hardy climbers make canes I0 to 15 feet 
long in a season, and bloom the second season after planting. 
| 5. Banks or Stumps. Any ugly or unsightly objects, from stumps to buildings, may 
XD Sain be transformed into bowers of beauty. Expense is trifling, compared with the satis- 
Uf faction. The hardy climbers, and especially Wichuraianas, are best for this purpose. 
Grow Your Own Decorations for Weddings, Recep- 
sili tions, Commencements, and Celebrations 
af \y No At the dedication of the National Rose Test Garden at Washington, D. C., 
Benjamin Hammond, then President of the American Rose Society, called at- 
tention to the beauty and appropriateness of a background such as there 
shown for a wedding ceremony. In the book ‘‘How to Grow Roses” is 
told of a most charming Rose-garden near Paris which is the setting for a 
permanent open-air theatre. Have you experienced the satisfaction of 
having plenty of Roses from which to cut for festal occasions, for decora- 
tions, for showering rose petals on guests to be honored, for carpeting 
their pathway with velvet flowers ? | 
Shall we do less than the ancients and fail to use 
God’s great gift of beauty to crown life’s important 
events. For uses like these Roses lend themselves as 
does no other flower. 
A Lecture on Roses 
During the past twenty years our President, in his study of the Rose, te 
has visited important Rose-growers and Rose-gardens throughout this ¥¢ 
country and Europe. He kodaked as he went, and in consequence now 
has possibly the most lovely and complete collection of colored lantern 
slides of Roses and Rose-gardens to be seen anywhere. 
They are well worth seeing, and in 
telling about them and his Rose jour- 
neys, and the best Roses and their 
care, Mr. Pyle relates much of inter- 
est and value, that is worth hearing.
