There are many ways in which a dozen good Rose 
plants can be placed on the home grounds to add beauty 
and interest. Hybrid Teas, are usually spaced 18 to 24 
inches apart, though some growers plant as close as 15 
inches and others like a very wide spacing; 18 inches is 
ordinarily the most advised. At that spacing, ‘‘Our 
Selection”? dozen could be used to form a single-row 
border 18 feet long, along the sides of a garage, along a 
walk, driveway or property line, or to mark a division of 
areas, such as for separating the lawn from the vegetable 
or perennial garden. 
For a double row or bed, the 12 Roses can be well 
grown in an area 3 by 9 feet. Using three rows of plants 
for a bed of different shape, the area would be about 
414 by 7 feet. Plant 9 inches away from edge of bed. 
In warmer climates or where Roses grow more vigor- 
ously and a 24-inch spacing is preferred, the dozen Roses 
would need a third more space.

2-year-old, field-grown, No. 1 Standard Star 
Roses, ne two alike in the same set. Post- 
age prepaid on all orders received before 
April 10. 
[BS THIS particular Spring of 1946, “Our Selection” 
sets should prove to be the most sought-after sets 
in this catalog. Why? Because they offer such ex- 
cellent values. Frequently they include higher- 
priced kinds. There is sure to be a wide range as to 
colors (no two alike). 
In our storage cellars are some excellent varieties 
not in our catalog this year because there are too few 
plants. These varieties may be drawn upon in filling 
orders for ‘‘Our Selection”’ sets. 
When the time comes to fill orders for the sets in 
which varieties are named in advance, this year there 
is almost bound to be some change required to replace 
one or more kinds that by then will have been all sold. 
That spells disappointment. Not so with these 12 or 8 
sets which are “Our Selection.”’ Every Rose will be 
separately labeled with a celluloid Star Jabel, and each 
and every plant wili be guaranteed to bloom. 
If these bushes are planted in a Jocation that has at 
least frve hours of sunshine daily, either morning or 
afternoon, and in soil that will grow good vegetables, 
the veriest amateur is assured of quantities of ex- 
uisite blooms from these Roses from June until hard 
rost. This, too, under simple common-sense care 
such as would be used im an ordinary vegetable garden. 
There is no need to be frightened at the idea of growing 
Roses. They are sturdy plants with a will of their own 
to live and bloom, and the present-day hybrids are 
adapted to living under varied conditions.
