Captain Christy Roses 
ROSES 
Roses thrive best in a medium light, clay soil. Before planting 
prepare the soil by spading and thoroughly working over to a depth 
of about 18 inches, fill in well-rotted stable manure while spading and 
work it carefully into the soil. After the plants are set, for best results 
cut all branches back to within 3 or 4 inches of the top of the ground. 
The new growth coming out will make a much nicer head than if the 
plant were not pruned, and the bushes will bloom all the better. 
We strongly recommend shipping Roses by Parcel Post. Should you desire 
us to ship Rose Plants by Parcel Post, add 5 cts. per plant when remitting.
