Spraying Dormant Plants 
Give your Rose plants a clean bill of health late in the fall before protecting for the winter 
and again early in spring before growth begins. Use either lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture 
at recommended dormant strength. 
The reader should not allow the foregoing to discourage him, as with a well-prepared soil, 
strong, vigorous plants to start with, and a little watchfulness to nip in the bud any attack of insect 
or disease, he will have little to fear. It is the indifferent, indolent grower, and the planter of green¬ 
house-grown Roses that have been raised among tropical conditions, whose plants suffer severely. 
Detailed information about how to plant Roses properly is sent with each order. 
After roots have been spread out and the hole partly filled with soil, be sure to tramp firm. 
Winter protection is thoroughly explained in a circular sent with each order. 
A Few Practical Suggestions 
It is always a pleasure to assist with the selection and arrangement of varieties whenever 
a Rose-garden is being planned. A good idea is to send in a rough design showing the pro¬ 
posed dimensions of the beds or the space available, and we can then suggest a planting-list 
to show spacing, etc. All Rose colors harmonize very well indeed, so it is only necessary that 
at least four or five of a variety be used where solid beds are being planted. In other words, 
do not plant a long list of one each of a variety in the same bed. For the beginner, however, 
and one who wants to learn about Roses, the different varieties offered in our valuable col¬ 
lections will give you an idea which will be your favorites and which ones do best in your certain 
locality. Surely if we found that some varieties did better than others, those are the ones 
that we would order in quantity when our next purchase is made. 
The spacing of Hybrid Teas should be considerably closer than we generally see them. 
Then the general garden effect will not be that of a well-hoed piece of soil, but a luxurious 
mass of plants and foliage from which the exquisite Rose arises. In other words, Roses always 
look better and do much better when planted closer—14 to 16 inches apart—in groups of at 
least three to five of each variety selected. 
Rose-beds should never be raised and mounded but, as a matter of fact, the surface of the 
finished Rose-bed should be several inches lower than the surrounding lawn or walks. 
Our Nursery is free from pests, insects, and diseases, being thoroughly inspected by both 
State and Federal horticultural authorities many times throughout the year.
