IRISH HOPE ROSE. Described on page 10 
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. 
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. 
Detailed information about how to plant Roses properly is sent with each order. 
Winter protection is explained in a circular sent with each fall order
