May's Roses For Indoor and Outdoor Culture 
The Beauty of These Roses Beggars Description— Their Grace of Form and 
Delicacy of Color and Fragrance Defy Competition 
OUR LIST of roses comprises the very best of the home grown varieties and 
the latest European introductions that are of superior merit and of 
marvelous beauty. Our methods of rose growing are thos 
which produce the finest and hardiest stock. The young 
plants are never forced; they arc grown in a cool situa^ 
tion, thoroughly well rooted in sand, then potted 
up and kept growing slowly. Under this treat- 
ment they develop in a natural way, put fori 
an abundance of fibrous root; become strong 
and hardy and in every way superior to 
stock which has been forced into unnatura" 
and weakened growth by a high temper- 
ature. They will ship any distance in 
perfect condition, commence growing 
as soon as they are transplanted, and 
produce an abundance of bloom 
during tlie entire season. 
HOW TO GROW ROSES 
ROSES u<iU gro'.v in any sunny 
position, preferably one that 
is sheltered from north winds. 
The best soil for them is sod 
from an old pasture and well 
rotted cow manure, which 
should be about 2 feet deep in a 
bed in which drainage has been 
arranged for. The best time to 
plant roses is in the spring after 
all danger of frost is past or in the 
fall after the leaves arc gone. 
After planting firm the soil down 
well about the roots and water 
thoroughly if the soil is dry and 
cultivate weekly during the summer. 
In October cut back the canes care- 
fully and cover, to insure protection 
against the cold.
