Hardy Garden Roses 



THE beauty of the Rose is so widely appreciated that the popularity 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.ja.- source of constant delight to all who 

 grow them. 



The varieties listed under the heading of Bush Roses are very useful 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 enjoyment 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, bloom 

 more profusely and are far better than if grown on their own roots. {Budded roses should be planted suffi- 

 ciently 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 trimming as the Hybrid Perpetual and climb- 

 ing 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 at our option with either potted stock or strong plants freshly 

 dug from the open ground.
