The Rose is the queen of all flowers-—its beauty, daintiness, and 
fragrance appeal to all flower lovers. The list of Roses offered below 
will make it possible for everyone, even in the severe Northwest, to 
enjoy their beauty and charm. 
The greatest care was used in making the selections we offer you— 
they are the very best from many hundred varieties. Do not confuse 
them, therefore, with the tender kinds offered at cheap prices that 
usually disappoint. We offer 2 -year field-grown plants. 
In planting, it is advisable to cut back Roses about one-third. Non¬ 
hardy varieties should have tops tied up with straw or burlap and 
added protection given with straw, leaves or strawy manure. 
Green aphis or lice on Roses may be controlled by the use of Black 
Leaf 40 (Sulphate of Nicotine), Acme Aphis Spray and Evergreen will 
control many insects. These are described on page 73. 
ROSA RUGOSA—Eskimo Beauties 
Don’t let any one discourage you from growing these beautiful, hardy 
Roses, even in the cold, bleak climate of the Dakotas, northern Minne¬ 
sota and Wisconsin. They will grow where no other Roses can hope 
to thrive, and without winter protection. These rugged shrub-like plants

I cannot say too much about your Fruit Trees, which I bought of 
you. Every one grew. I am proud of them and they have made won¬ 
derful growth in spite of the drought of the past two seasons. That’s 
not all-—six of the trees bore fruit last summer. The Yellow Transparent 
had seven large yellow prize-winning apples; one Haralson had three big 
apples and the Whitney Crabs had more. The Cherry trees had delicious 
cherries the second year. 
Your fruit trees proved they are hardy because we have very hot 
and dry summers and very cold winters. I have planted fruit trees 
bought from nurseries around here from time to time, without success, 
so I have good reason to be proud of the Farmer Seed and Nursery 
Company’s fruit trees. My advice is to buy nursery stock from your 
firm and they sure will grow.
