Roses 
Iii making up our list of roses for our 1936 trade, we have 
endeavored to keep many of those listed in our 1935 catalog 
as we believe that the collection offered by us last year was 
really the cream of the popular-priced roses with which we are 
familiar. We are, however, adding a few of the latest introduc¬ 
tions which we believe have merit and which we know will 
give the utmost satisfaction. 
A light clay soil is the best for roses, but they will grow well 
in any good garden soil. For profusion of bloom they should be 
well fertilized and given plenty of water during the dry sum¬ 
mer. In the fall hill up the earth and cover with mulch after 
the ground is frozen, and in the spring prune back to within 
eight or ten buds. All budded roses should be planted so that 
the union indicated by a crook in the stem is below the ground. 
Dormant roses should be well watered and the tops 
cut back to about six inches in height and protected 
from the sun until the buds show growth, for the failure 
of most roses to live is due to a lack of moisture. 
If possible, please give second choice of a variety as, 
unless advised to the contrary, whenever our stock of 
a variety is exhausted, we will make a substitution as 
near to color and habit as possible. 
Prices on roses are for dormant plants which we can furnish 
until about May 1st. After that time we can supply potted 
plants for June blooming. These will be at an increase of 15 
cents per plant. 
HYBRID TEA OR EVER-BLOOMING ROSES 
These will give an abundance of bloom from June until 
frost. They should be liberally fertilized every year and given 
some protection from the sun and frost during the winter.
