SOUTH'S LEADING ROSE NURSERY

Special Group Prices to Garden Clubs 
Because it is easier to handle large orders than small ones, we can afford to make special 
reductions in prices to Garden Clubs whose members group their orders, or to any number of 
Rose-lovers who group together for the purpose of securing favorable prices on Roses. If one 
hundred or more Roses are ordered to be shipped at one time, you are entitled to the 100-lot 
prices quoted at bottom of page 23. 
Dixie Rose Nursery is a member of the American Rose Society. Because it endorses the 
work of that organization, it will give one annual membership in the American Rose Society to 
every Rose group or individual which orders 100 or more Dixie Rose bushes this season, to be 
shipped at one time. Membership in the American Rose Society is an honor and a privilege. 
Among other advantages, each member receives a practical book on Rose-growing called “What 
Every Rose-Grower Should Know.” 
A Rose-Garden Completes the Ideal Home 
Every home should have at least fifty to a hundred Roses in the garden. Roses are fast becoming 
the most popular flower in America, as they have long been the best loved. The popularity of Roses 
is growing by leaps and bounds, and Garden Clubs and Rose Societies devoted to the culture of this 
lovely flower are being formed everywhere. Many of these Garden Clubs and Rose Societies have 
planted Municipal Rose-Gardens for the benefit of every citizen in the community. The American 
Rose Society will help in all undertakings of this kind by giving advice and suggestions. Plans and 
reports of municipal Rose-garden activities are available. We shall be glad to give further infor¬ 
mation on request. 
Early Winter Planting in the South 
Late fall is the best planting-time in the South because growth ceases for only a few weeks 
in midwinter. Bushes planted before winter comes make good root-growth and are ready to 
begin growing vigorously when spring opens. In the southern states, Roses may be planted at 
any time in winter when the ground is not frozen, but particularly from November i5 to Feb¬ 
ruary 15. If possible, prepare the ground several weeks in advance before planting, to allow plenty 
of time to settle before the Roses are planted. It is also well to protect newly planted Roses by 
hilling the earth up around them the first winter. 
“I purchased from you in March, 1932, one of your Climbing Talisman and I believe that I have the finest 
plant of that variety in this state. Last spring we had from 30 to 50 blooms at one time—all large fine buds with 
stems from 10 to 18 inches in length.”—Mrs. Felix P. Clay, Montgomery, Ala.
