As the result of careful experi- 

 mentation upon fleld-grown

 a Rose food, carefully balanced, 

 and having a bone meal base, the 

 use of which will result in vig- 

 orous, free-flowering plants.

 cite a growth of soft wood, on 

 the contrary, strong canes, a 

 maximum of bloom, and sub- 

 stantial root growth will fol- 

 low its use. 

 "Peerless" Rose Food is not of- 

 fered as a cure-all, but rather 

 as a complete fertilizer that 

 will bring renewed vitality to 

 Roses.
