OUR ROSES ARE BUDDED ON HARDIEST STOCK 
The varieties we list are all hardy, with winter protection. 
As a popular service, we cut back and root-prune your Roses,— 
ready to plant. This also cuts down transportation expense. 
CULTUBE. Before planting - , consider these simple 
instructions: Sunny location protected from boisterous, cold 
north winds. The soil should be clean and mellow ; contain¬ 
ing some clay for body and some gravel or peat for porosity, 
with thoroughly worked-in fertilizer—well-rotted manure being 
the best. Dig the holes deep and big enough so that the roots 
may be naturally spread out, resting upon and enveloped by a 
generous amount of the prepared soil filler. Make Sure all the 
fibrous roots are firmly packed into their new home, by sifting 
and tamping. Do not mound the surface, as that would divert 
rainfall and applied moisture. Be particular to soak the fresh 
planting, and never allow it to dry out, or the soil to cake. 
“Ever-blooming” Roses require about 18 inches planting space; 
June Roses, about 2 feet. The climbers need some kind of 
trellis support. The Rugosas, Hugonis and Native types are 
used just the same as shrubs; the Baby Ramblers in massed 
beds, or as borders and for low hedges. 
In comparing prices, all we ask of you is to give quality and 
grade their true value. Our old customers will understand.

We presume 
most of our 
patrons under¬ 
stand that Tree 
R oses consist 
of a single up¬ 
right stem top- 
grafted to some 
reliable varie¬ 
ty. This re¬ 
veals all the 
foliage and all 
the bloom in a 
rounded clump 
at the top of a 
S^-foot stem. 
They are very useful 
as borders to walks 
in a formal garden, 
or in any location 
where the show of 
bloom is desired at an 
elevation of about 5 feet. 
Our supply this year is 
of the best character 
and quality in years, 
well apportioned among distinct popu¬ 
lar varieties. We offer them in separate

small foliage; % inch dou¬ 
ble, rose-pink flowers con¬
