Culture of Roses 



Roses prefer a rather heavy soil and sunny exposure, though 

 a location giving some shade during the heat of the day is 

 Ideal. However, any ordinary soil well worked-up with well- 

 rotted stable manure and bone meal will grow Roses, provid- 

 ing there is good drainage. Roses do not like wet feet. The 

 beds should be dug to a depth of at least eighteen inches and 

 deeper If possible. 



Set plants two feet apart (narrow beds are best) and two 

 inches deeper than the graft. Fill hole half full then All 

 with water to settle dirt around roots and prevent air pockets. 

 Allow water to drain, then flll with dirt and cover with light 

 mulch of Peat Moss, or well-rotted manure. Top dress with 

 bone meal Spring, Summer and Autumn. 



To combat insects use a force spray of water on clear 

 mornings adding from time to time soap suds and Black Leaf 

 40. For Mildew, dust with Sulphur on clear mornings when 

 dew is on foliage. Black Leaf Spot can be controlled with 

 Bordeaux Mixture or Kaylox. Excellent for a first spray in 

 the Spring.

How to Plant and Care for Perennials 



The secret of success with Perennials is an enriched soil 

 with good cultivation and careful watering. 



Groups of three or more of a variety will produce the best 

 effect in a border, using as a rule the taller growing varieties 

 as a background. If planting near Shrubs which will rob the 

 bed of nourishment, keep about three feet away. 



Plant In Spring or early Fall, providing Winter protection 

 for late plantings, especially Anemones, Campanula, Digitalis, 

 Hollyhocks, Chrysanthemums, Stokesia and Tritoma. 



Dig beds at least 12 to 18 inches deep and where possible 

 work in a liberal supply of well-rotted manure. Heavy soils 

 can be improved by the addition of Peat Moss and light soils 

 will retain a greater supply of moisture. Sheep manure and 

 Bone Meal are excellent fertilizers. 



After ground is frozen apply a mulch of tobacco stems, 

 strawy manure, oak leaves or any good light litter. This will 

 prevent alternate thawing and freezing which always causes 

 damage. 



Bed Preparation 



Small suburban homes are greatly handicapped owing to 

 the scarcity and high price of well-rotted manure, and en- 

 riched soil, with the result that their efforts meet with small 

 success, through no fault of their own. Experiments have 

 shown that this may be overcome through heavy applications 

 of Peat Moss, combined with soil sheep manure, bone meal 

 and muriate of potash.
