PALMER SEED COMPANY, ST. LOUIS, MO. 
HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSES 
Roses are ready for ‘delivery from March 1st until May 15th. After May 15th, 
when growth has started, we supply 2-year-old plants in 5-inch pots. 
Our bushes are all hardy, two-year-old, field-grown stock. Northern Grown. 
CULTURE: Roses grow best in an open, sunny position. Dig the soil thoroughly, 
working in well-rotted manure or bone meal in a good quantity. Be careful to keep 
the roots from exposure to the air. When the bushes arrive, sprinkle them and heel 
in until the hole is dug to receive them. Place the bush in position, spreading the 
roots and fill in with fine soil, making it firm with the heel. Cultivate freely during 
the summer. An application of bone meal at monthly intervals is advisable. During 
the hot summer cover the beds with a layer of peat moss two inches thick. This will 
prevent the ground from drying out and becoming baked. In late November draw the 
soil around the plant to a height of 1 foot. This will serve as a winter protection. 
We ship plants by express only. No C. O. D. orders sent.
