NEW GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE.

SPACE REQUIRED. — It don't require as much space to plant iooo Roses as might be expected. 

 Plenty of people have ample room who never think of it. For the best effect the first season the Ever- 

 Blooming Roses may be planted rather less than one foot apart each way. A bed 22 feet long by 10 feet 

 wide holds 250 Roses nicely. A circular bed 10 feet in diameter holds 100 Roses, and one 16 feet in diam- 

 eter holds 250. If you wish beds of separate colors let us know size of beds and colors wanted, and we 

 will see that you get the best sorts for the purpose. For Prices of different sized beds see page 12.
