Hardy Garden Roses 



THE beauty of the Rose is so widely appreciated that the popu- 

 larity it now enjoys and the demand for Hardy Garden Roses 

 are annually increasing. In old-fashioned gardens, in borders, 

 along garden walks or on arbors the sweet perfume of blooming roses 

 is a source of constant delight to all who grow them. 



The varieties listed under the heading of Bush Roses are very use- 

 ful when grouped among shrubbery; but the Hybrid Perpetual, Tea 

 and Hybrid Tea varieties will do best if planted by themselves. Almost 

 every house has space for a small rose garden; the beauty and enjoy- 

 ment that they create beget a love and devotion that one never forgets. 

 All of our Hybrid Perpetuals, Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses are budded on 

 Manetti stock. It has been found that many varieties of roses grown 

 on this stock are more hardy and bloom more profusely and are far 

 better than if grown on their own roots. (Budded roses should be 

 planted sufficiently deep so that the junction of the bud with the stock is 

 from two to three inches below the surface of the earth.) 



Our potted roses have been pruned, and will need no further care 

 in this respect the first year. The quality of bloom depends a great deal 

 on pruning, so in future years do not fail to have your plants properly 

 pruned early in the Spring. Tea Roses do not require as severe trim- 

 ming as the Hybrid Perpetual and climbing roses. 



Spring orders for the Hybrid Perpetual, Tea and Hybrid Tea, 

 Moss and Miscellaneous Roses will be filled with potted plants, 

 like the illustration. These potted plants have been properly 

 pruned, carefully started and will arrive in the best possible 

 condition to give you an immediate effect. Fall orders may be 

 filled with either potted stock or strong plants freshly dug 

 from the open ground.

 ready to be boxed for shipment. 

 The flower pot has been removed 

 and a neat paper one substituted; 

 thus insuring arrival with a big 

 ball of dirt about the roots, which 

 reduces the risk of transplanting 

 to a minimum.
