ROSES-Choice Hardy Garden. 
D OSES FOR GARDENS are a specialty at the nursery, our sales amounting to many thousands 
•TV annually. The plants are strong, field-grown bushes, large enough to make a sturdy growth and 
produce a profusion of bloom right away. This grade of plants is very popular with our customers. 
Our roses should not be confounded with the department store articles often offered. Our roses 
are all selected Strang field-grown dormant plants dug fresh from the open ground and securely packed 
for each order. 
The love of roses is universal and fortunate it is that the most beautiful ones live out 
of doors and thrive in ordinary gardens. Be liberal with the fertilizer in preparing 
your rose gardens; they will return many fold in the way of luxuriance and profusion 
of blooms. 
Garden Hybrid Roses. 
Strictly Hardy. 
This class of roses blooms profusely in 
June and at intervals throughout the 
Summer and Fall. The popular hardy 
garden roses mostly belong to this class 
and are always satisfactory. 
Do not allow roses to suffer from want 
of plenty of fertilizer, as they are gross 
feeders, and only when they have plenty 
to feed on can they be expected to pro- 
duce best results.
