Multicolored. See illustration above. An American 

 Rose which is proving itself one of the finest garden 

 varieties in existence. The plant is very tall, with 

 good foliage, and produces its beautiful fragrant 

 flowers singly on long stems — a cutting Rose par 

 excellence. The shapely buds open to high-centered 

 flowers of scarlet-yeflow, cerise-pink, and flame 

 which last well. 25 petals. On October 29, 1934, the 

 American Rose Society awarded this Rose the 

 Gertrude M. Hubbard Gold Medal as the best 

 American Rose disseminated during the past five 

 years. 75 cts. each.f 



• E. G. HILL. H.T. Crimson. See iflustration 

 below. After a lifetime of producing new Roses, Mr. 

 Hifl thought enough of this beauty to permit it to be 

 named for himself. The flowers are large, fufl, fra- 

 grant, brifliant crimson, and splendid for cutting. 

 Vigorous plants very busily engaged in producing 



their perfectly formed fragrant flowers.

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 pre- 

 pare 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"

 pletely 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
