One important factor of Rose success is early preparation of the ground. 
Select the location for your Rose-beds as early as possible and prepare the 
soil as indicated on page 21, so it will be aired, will settle, absorb the early 
warmth of the sun, and become line and mellow. Plants in such worked- 
up soil start earlier and more quickly recover from the hardships of trans¬ 
planting. 
The supply of new varieties is often very limited. Make your selection 
and order your Roses as early as possible; your dealer will deliver at the 
time best suited for planting in your location. 
How to Order 
Jackson & Perkins Company operates exclusively at wholesale and makes 
no sales direct to the public. Their new varieties are sold by nurserymen, 
florists, seedsmen, and dealers everywhere. 
Communicate with your usual dealer and if he does not have on hand 
the kinds you want, he can secure the plants from us. If there is any serious 
delay, write us with a list of your selections and we will take up the matter 
with him or refer you to someone who can furnish you.
