BESS LOVETT — Our Favorite Red Climber 



Spray Your Roses 



For best results with Roses one should spray the 

 plants frequently during the summer. It is a slight 

 bother perhaps but one is well rewarded by having 

 much finer blossoms and beautiful foliage. 



Powdered sulphur sprinkled on the plants once 

 every two weeks will control mildew. A frequent 

 spraying of the plants with Black Leaf 40 will kill 

 plant lice or aphis which are a common rose pest. 

 A thorough dusting of roses with a mixture made up 

 of one part lead arsenate, one part tobacco dust and 

 nine parts dusting sulphur is a fine preventative as 

 well as a cure for most all rose diseases. "Pomo- 

 green" is n dust that is very effective for black spot 

 and mildew. Can be obtained in cans at most hard- 

 ware stores. 



Start spraying the roses in early spring and repeat 

 at intervals of ten days or two weeks throughout the 

 summer.
