FOR PERMANENT OUT-DOOR PLANTING 



J 



In preparing a Rose Bed, select a sunny location guarded from cold north winds, if possible. Dig out the beds to a 

 depth of two or three feet and about three feet in width; then refill the trench with a mixture of soil (any good fertile soil will 

 do), and well rotted cow manure, making provision for good drainage if location is not naturally drained. Time should be 

 allowed for this filling to settle, the final top surface being an inch or two below the edges of the bed. Do not raise the 

 surface of Rose beds above the surrounding surface. They suffer less from drought when left level with the turf. 



Plant your roses in the center, being very particular to press and tamp the soil firmly around the roots; and 

 soaking the bed thoroughly at the finish. The Everbloomers may be set 18 inches apart, the Hybrid Perpetuals about 2 feet. 

 After the plants have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of an inch or two, by frequent stirrings. An occasional 

 soaking with weak manure water is a great help to roses of all sorts. 



Protect for the Winter by covering bed at least 6 inches with leaves or manure; a binding surface of dirt, cornstalks 

 or boughs on top. A convenient method is to confine this dressing by an enclosure of 12-inch chicken wire.

FIELD GROWN HYBRID 

 TEA ROSES 



The magnificent, perfumed Hybrid Teas, which add so 

 greatly to the pleasurable aspects of our summer gardens, 

 are marvels of color, form and blooming capacity. We offer 

 a selected list of the hardier Varieties which can be furnished 

 this fall in strong, two year stock. This class of roses is 

 not so hardy as the "Jime Roses," Hardy Climbers, etc., and 

 should be carefully protected against the severe cold of winter. 

 American Beauty. Probably the widest known and most 



prized cut flower among all American Roses. Deep pink 



approaching crimson, of exquisite form and fragrance and 



large size.
