A Few Practical Suggestions 
It is always a pleasure for us to assist with the selection 
and arrangement of varieties whenever a Rose-garden is 
being planned. A good idea is to send in a rough design 
showing the proposed dimensions of the beds or the space 
available, and we can then suggest a planting-list to show 
spacing, etc. All rose colors harmonize very well indeed, 
so it is only necessary that at least four or five of a variety 
be used where solid beds are being planted. In other 
words, do not plant a long list of one each of a variety in 
the same bed. For the beginner, however, and one who 
wants to learn about Roses, the different varieties offered 
in our valuable collections will give you an idea which will 
be your favorites and which ones do best in your certain 
locality. Surely if we found that some varieties did better 
than others, those are the ones that we would order in 
quantity when our next purchase is made. 
After all, the great majority of Rose-lovers are in search 
of varieties that will give them an abundance of flowers. 
Nor does it matter whether they were introduced in 1910 
or 1930 so long as the color is clear and defined, the form 
of bud and open bloom is good, and a strong stem is 
produced on a vigorous plant. Even in some of our finest 
Municipal Rose-Gardens or in the notable private gardens, 
the varieties giving the best account of themselves and 
which really form the backbone of these gardens are the 
very ones here described. 
The spacing of Hybrid Teas should be considerably 
closer than we generally see them. Then the general garden 
effect will not be that of a well-hoed piece of soil, but a 
luxurious mass of plants and foliage from which the ex¬ 
quisite Rose arises. In other words, Roses always look 
better and do much better when planted closer—14 to 
16 inches apart—in groups of at least three to five of each 
variety selected. 
Rose-beds should never be raised and mounded but, as a 
matter of fact, the surface of the finished Rose-bed should 
be several inches lower than the surrounding lawn or walks. 
Our Nursery is free from pests, insects, and diseases, 
being thoroughly inspected by both State and Federal 
horticultural authorities many times throughout the 
year.
