The wonderful beauty and fragrance of Roses make them the most popular of flowers. Everybody likes and admires them and

 by any gardener who can grow good flowers of any kind. Of course, show blooms and specimen stufl' are for the expert only. On ex-

 Roses and can supply many of the newer sorts which are not listed here. Send us names of varieties not listed, which you would like 

 to have, and we shall be pleased to quote prices. 



Planting and Care of Roses. Roses should be planted in good, rich soil. Dig the hole big enough to accommodate the roots 

 without coiling or bunching them, and set the plant so that its collar is just even with the surface. Make the soil very firm about the 

 roots, treading it if necessary. Cut the tops off about 8 inches above the top of the ground. Keep the bed thoroughly cultivated around 

 the bushes the entire season. Each following spring they should be pruned 10 to 12 inches.
