POT GROWN PLANTS FOR SHIPMENT DURING MARCH, 

 APRIL, MAY AND JUNE 



Our Pot-grown Roses axe superior to the Roses usually sent out because they sxtt 

 cut back and potted early in the fall, giving ample time for root action and to 

 allow the plant to grow naturally. They are sturdy and compact and when sent 

 by express with the soil on the roots transplanting scarcely checks their growth. 

 In planting, it is only necessary to make a hole a little larger than the ball of 

 earth on the plant. After it is set in, firm the soil well around the roots, other- 

 wise the dry air will shrivel them up and prevent their development. 



Never set the plants out should the ground be wet and soggy, but wait until 

 it is fairly dry. After planting give the soil a thorough soaking, and should the 

 earth around the plant be dry it should be thoroughly saturated with water a day 

 or so before planting.
