Ask Us to Plan the "Layout" for Your Rose-Beds 



You can have a show like this from June till frost from two sets of the "Star 25." See page 15. 



EXPERIENCE is a great teacher. For thirty- 

 seven years we've "learned by doing." It has 

 become a genuine pleasure to use the experience 

 thus gained in service for our clients. Of course, 

 you'll enjoy making your own plans, but when you 

 have something especially large or important, 

 remember that we make no charge for giving advice 

 or suggestions, or even for helping you to plan your 

 entire layout. We cooperate with Landscape Archi- 

 tects in the selection and arrangement of Roses. 



We know so well the behavior of different Roses, 

 height of growth, color-tones that go together or do 

 not, that we can help both the Landscape Architect 

 and you to get better harmony and a nappy effect. 

 Careful planning brings its own reward. 



If you desire professional advice for renovating 

 an old garden, or regarding the planning, planting, 

 culture, or care of a new one, perhaps you will 

 write to us. You may even wish us to arrange for a 

 special visit. We plan and plant new Rose-gardens.

HOW TO GROW ROSES 



// 



NEW. 17th Edition. Enlarged 

 and entirely rewritten 



By Robert Pyle, Past President American Rose Society. Dr. J. Horace McFarland, Editor for 

 American Rose Society. G. A. Stevens, Secretary American Rose Society 



These three prominent American rosarians have combined their life-long experiences 

 in Rose-growing to produce this latest and most practical Rose book. 



210 pages; 32 illustrations in natural colors of many of the most beautiful Roses; 30 photo- 

 graphic reproductions of Roses and Rose-gardens; numerous line drawings to illustrate the text. 



Questions forever arise about Rose-gardening that need an immediate answer. How 

 and when should my Roses be planted? What is the best way to prepare the soil? What 

 fertilizers should I use? Drainage? How far back should I prune my everblooming Roses? 

 What about the climbers? How should I treat my Rose bushes for mildew, black-spot, 

 rose-bugs, etc.? These are but a few of the everyday questions that often must be answered 

 at once — somehow. 



"How to Grow Roses" solves this problem completely for it contains up-to-the- 

 minute information on every phase of Rose-growing. Every effort has been made to 

 adapt this volume to serve those who want to know how to grow Roses. 



"CI IMBING ROSES" * s t ^ ie new 1^33 companion book to "How to Grow Roses." It is quite as complete and 



^ — beautiful, with its 64 illustrations in color and black. Written by G. A. Stevens, it tells, 



in plain words, what Climbing Roses are, and how to get the most out of them. $2 postpaid. You need both books. 



"How to Grow Roses"
