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 inte 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.
