PLANT DEPARTMENT. 

 Roses for 1918. 



DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING. — See that your ground is well loosened and fer- 

 tilized before planting- your Roses. Press the soil firmly around the plants with your 

 foot and do not plant them too deep, just a trifle, perhaps, deeper than they were in 

 the pots, and water after planting. 



While we are prepared to fill all orders for field grown Roses at any time, we advise 

 our patrons to reserve their orders until November 1st, as this will give them an oppor- 

 tunity to become better matured, and can be transplanted to better advantage. 



If sold out of any variety of plant we will substitute another, equally as good, unless 

 expressly instructed to the contrary. 



FORMULA FOR DISEASE OF BLIGHT ON ROSE BUSHES.— V 2 ounce sulphate of 

 copper, iy 2 ounces ammonia. Dilute in five gallons of water and spray the plants once a 

 week for about 4 weeks. For insects use tobacco water. We find this to be a safe 

 remedy. 



For Thrip on all blooming plants, roses, etc., use powdered sulphur; powder the 

 plants thoroughly with it. There is no danger of it affecting the plants nor the flowers. 



We strongly advise shipping by Express whenever practicable; this will 

 enable us to send much stronger plants and guarantee safer delivery. If 

 ordered by mail add 20 per cent, of the value of plants to cover postage. 

 When postage is not included we will send by express at purchasers 

 expense.
