ROSES 
HYBRID TEA, OR EVERBLOOMING 
This selection will produce a mass of Roses to cut from, the entire season. The plants are two- 
year-old, and the varieties are the very best for outdoor culture; invaluable either for display or 
cutting and are hardy with protection. 
Being almost as hardy as the June Roses, they can be treated in a similar way with regard to 
pruning. 
SUGGESTIONS FOR SPRING PLANTING OF ROSES 
The soil should be thoroughly cultivated and a liberal supply of rotted manure added. In plant¬ 
ing, dig a hole sufficiently large to accommodate the roots when spread out on the bottom of the 
hole. In filling in the soil, shake the plant lightly in order that the soil may mix between the 
roots. Fill in the soil and firm it in order that the plant may be solid. Be sure to see that the lower 
parts of the lower branches are below the surface of the soil. Do not plant in a mound, the surface 
should be level. Cut back the branches to within 4 to 6 inches of the surface of the ground. With 
this treatment the best results may be obtained.
