Captain Christy Roses 



ROSES 



Roses thrive best in a medium light, clay soil. Before plant- 

 ing, prepare the soil by spading and thoroughly working over to 

 a depth of about 18 inches, fill in well-rotted stable manure while 

 spading and work it carefully into the soil. After the plants 

 are set. for best results cut all branches back to within 3 or 4 

 inches of the top of the ground.
