ROSES. 
Our assortment of this queen of all plants is large and consists of all 
the approved and free blooming varieties both new and old that we 
can recommend to our patrons. Roses require plenty of manure 
and good cultivation. All the old and dead branches should be cut 
away each spring and at least half of the previous seasons growth. 
They will be more vigorous and produce more and much finer flowers 
if protected in winter with straw or some loose litter. 
Success in growing roses depends largely upon keeping the plants 
free from insects. As soon as the thrip or fly appears, syringe the 
plants daily with a strong solution of steeped tobacco stems, (one pound 
of stems to five gallons of water) or a solution of whale oil soap, (one 
Pound to eight gallons of water) until they disappear. If applied milk 
warm it will be more effective. To make sure of not injuring the 
foliage, syringe the plants with clear water about twenty minutes or 
half an hour after applying the solution. Bugs which eat the flowers 
should be picked off. Insects which eat the leaves can be destroyed by 
applying White Hellebore when the foliage is damp.
