A ROSE FOR EVERY PLACE AND PURPOSE 



For Trellis 



"The success of the Rose in this country is very largely a question 

 of the selection of adaptable varieties."— DR. LIBERTY H. BAILEY. 



The opposite page has helped you, no doubt, to avoid selecting those Roses not 



well suited to your climate, and to a choice of the right ones for your locality. That 



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 



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 17.) 



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 15 to 19, inclusive, and espe- 

 cially those on page 16. 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. 



4. Fences. First of all, plan for a substantial support, and choose, according to taste, 

 from the long-branched climbers on pages 15 to 19, but especially on pages 16 to 19. 

 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 10 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 

 be transformed into bowers of beauty. Expense is trifling, compared with the satis- 

 faction. The hardy climbers, and especially Wichuraianas, are best for this purpose. 



" HOW TO GROW ROSES " *?8g« 



A cloth-bound book, 121 pages — 16 full-page color plates. 80 instructive illustrations 



If you simply wanted something to read, without any idea of getting instruction about 

 growing Roses, you might turn to this book and be delightfully entertained for an hour or 

 so. In this way it is an unusual Rose book; for in it you will find how the famous 

 "attar of Roses" is made, how to make Rose beads, something about "the Red Rose 

 Church" at Manheim, and also about the most beautiful Rose-garden in the world. 

 To a lover of Roses there is more than this; for a beginner is told how to 

 begin, how to establish ideals, and get' started right; after which comes the valu- 

 able "Calendar of Operations," telling when and how to prune, spray, fertilize, 

 and otherwise care for Roses the year round. There is a chapter on 

 "Where to Plant Roses," and others on drainage, soil, and fertilizers. 

 You are told how to handle the plants when you receive them and 

 the best way to mulch and protect them during the winter. Further 

 on is a most valuable list of 158 Roses, with instructions for prun- 

 ing each one. The book ends with a comprehensive list of "Roses 

 Arranged in Classes," that should be of value to any lover of "the 

 Queen of Flowers." Price, $1, postpaid.
