COMPLAINTS. When the goods reach you, if there is any complaint it must be made

PLANTING 



The plants should be put in the ground immediately upon their arrival. If it is impossible 

 to do this they can be kept in a cellar or in a moderately warm place protected from the wind 

 and the sun. Set them ui)right to admit free circulation of air and be careful not to allow the 

 roots to become dry. 



When ready to plant remove the Sphagnum Moss which is placed around the roots to keep 

 them damp. Then plant them a trifle deeper than they were growing in the pots before shipping. 

 This can be determined by an examination of the plants for there will be a mark on the stem 

 left by the soil in which they were grown. Plant them in a natural position and give plenty of 

 water. Shade for a few days if the sun is hot. 



Dingee pot grown own root Roses can be planted at any season of the year because they are 

 ready to send forth new growth and new roots at all times. 



DISEASES AND INSECTS 



Mildew and Black Spot are the two diseases which give the most trouble to Rose growers. 

 Mildew is shown by a grayish crinkUng appearance of the leaves and usually occurs after a change 

 in the temperature. It can be checked to a certain extent by sprinkling the leaves with powdered 

 ■sulphur imme<liatcly after it appears. If tliis does not check it, dissolve one ounce of potassium 

 ■iulphuret in two gallons of cold water and apply as a fine spray. Black Spot is a fungus disease 

 appearing as a black sjKit upon the leaf which eventually turns yellow and falls. One of the 

 best preventives is spraying in April with Bordeaux Mixture before the foliage has developed. 

 j \nother remedy for this disease is Fungtrogen which is offered elsewhere in tliis catalog. 



Insects can be controlled and have to be controlled to have proper results from the Roses. 

 It Ls a simple matter to check the ravages of insects by spraying. Elsewhere in this book will 

 be found tested sprays for the various kinds of bugs — Insectrogen, Black I^eaf 40, Tobacco 

 5oap, etc.
