Roses for 1920. 
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING.—See that your ground is well loosened and fer- 
tilized before planting your Roses. 
Press the soil firmly around the plants with your 
foot and do not plant them too deep, just a trifle, perhaps, deeper than they were in 
the pots, and water after planting. 
While we are prepared to fill all orders for field-grown Roses at any time, we advise 
our patrons to reserve their orders until November ist, as this will give them an oppor- 
tunity to become better matured, and can be transplanted to better advantage. 
If sold out of any variety of plant we will substitute another, equally as good, unless 
expressly instructed to the contrary.
