Roses 
Our bushes are all STRONG, FIELD-GROWN, 2-YEAR-OLD plants on their 
own roots, and are not to be compared to the cheap bushes often offered which are 
budded on short lived foreign stocks. 
Plant them ^ inch deeper than they stood in the nursery and in the richest, best 
soil obtainable. Trim off nearly all the top and they will do much better than if it was 
left on. Use powdered sulphur for mildew, arsenical for eating insects and tobacco 
infusion or strong soap solution for lice.
