ROSES. 



CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. 



In selecting a spot for a Rose bed, do not 

 choose one where they will be shaded by trees 

 or buildings, as the Rose delights in an open, 

 airy situation, with plenty of sunshine. Roses 

 are very partial to a clay loam soil, but will do 

 well in any ordinary soil if enriched with 

 well-rotted barnyard manure. In preparing the 

 bed, dig it up thoroughly to the depth of 12 or 

 15 inches, as Rose roots penetrate deep when 

 they have a chance. In forming the beds do not 

 elevate them above the level of the ground sur- 

 rounding, as they will suffer less from drouth, 

 x^fter the plants have been set out, keep the soil 

 loose to the depth of an inch or two by frequent 

 stirrings. An occasional soaking with weak 

 manure water is a great help to them. 



THE NEW ROSE— BABY RAMBLER. 



The flowers are borne in clusters, 30, 40 



and 50 flowers to a cluster. They are in every 



way just like those of the Climbing Crimson 



Rambler, and are produced perpetually. We 



have closely watched this new Rose in our 



greenhouses since November, 1903, and they have never 



been without flowers from that time until the present day. 



We had a large bed in our grounds at Western Springs, and 



there the plants were constantly in bloom until November, 



even in the hottest weather. This is a remarkable 



record. We have grown thousands of varieties of Roses, 



but have never met one that possessed all these remarkable 



qualities combined. — Vaugh Seed Co.
