joint where the understock and the top join 
together should be placed one inch below the 
soil level. Too deep or too shallow planting is 
not conducive to success. 
FERTILIZERS. Well rotted or decayed 
barnyard manure, preferably cow manure, is pos¬ 
sibly the best and safest fertilizer to use around 
roses. Apply around the plants on top of the 
soil after planting; or during the winter season 
on old rose beds. Allow to remain on the top 
until the first cultivation then working it lightly 
into the top soil. 
A small portion of hardwood ashes worked 
into the top soil once a year will improve your 
roses. 
If manure cannot be procured, have bone-meal 
In limited quantities or Vigoro applied as direc¬ 
tions say, this will provide a very good substitute. 
In no case allow fertilizers to come in direct 
contact with the roots. 
CULTIVATION. Roses should be cultivated 
every week or ten days. Keep the soil worked 
up loose for an inch or two on the surface, 
never disturbing the roots. A thorough soaking 
of the soil once a week when no rain has fallen 
and a cultivation the next day will keep your 
roses in good condition. Never let the rose bed 
dry out. 
We wish you the best of success with your 
Rose Garden.

Coniferous Evergreens 
The conifers or cone-bearing Evergreens embrace a wide variety of planting 
material, almost all of them with needle or scale-like evergreen foliage, and resistant 
to low temperatures, We offer in this group the Cedrus, Cupressus, Juniperus, 
Pinus, Retinospora and Thuya or Arborvitae. They are the magnificent aristocrats 
of the plant kingdom. 
The many shapes and colors and their wide adapability along with the fact 
that their beauty is continuous, makes Coniferous Evergreens desirable for Land¬ 
scape beautification. For your convenience we are grouping the Coniferous Ever¬ 
greens according to their approximate habit of growth.
