Roses for the Garden 
The Rose has been aptly called the “Queen of Flowers,” and they are among the easiest to raise to perfection. Roses thrive 
best in clay loam well enriched with rotted manure. They should have an open, airy situation unshaded by trees or buildings. 
Old and decayed branches and at least half the previous season’s growth should be cut away early each spring, and a little 
cutting back after the first blooming will insure more late flowers. The so-called tender Roses must be carefully protected in 
winter by covering them with leaves and evergreen boughs. 
We have listed here in the Rose section of this catalog roses that have given entire satisfaction to the purchaser in the past. 
While every one has their likes and dislikes in roses we feel sure that the ones we have listed will please those who may 
purchase them.
