HARDY CLIMBING AND OTHER ROSES 
23 
Roses should be planted in the spring just as 
soon as the ground can be worked, and carefully 
handled, as they are plants that need attention 
when planted. Select a good sunny location where 
the soil is well drained, and should the soil be 
heavy or clayey, some sand should be put with it. 
A good plan is to take out the soil from 18 inches 
deep to 2 feet, and in the bottom place from 10 to 
12 inches of well-rotted cow manure and sod, then 
place the black dirt that was taken out on top of 
this.

The following varieties are highly valued for 
training over arbors, trellises and verandas; also 
as screens for unsightly objects, such as old build¬ 
ings, fences, walls, etc. They grow ten to twelve 
feet high.

shell pink and holds a long time without fading.

buds. No garden is complete without one or two 
Moss Roses. Colors, Red and White. Each 50c 
HYBRID TEA ROSES (Ev-erbloomlng Varieties), 
These roses are not so hardy as those mentioned 
above, therefore require more protection during 
the winter months. They possess a delightful 
fragrance and beautiful shades of colors, being 
such free bloomers during the entire summer which 
makes them desirable for cut flowers.

be set out until the sun has warmed and dried the 
ground well. Each 25c and up,
