Planting Instructions 
Few plants respond so readily to good care 
and culture as the rose. But few will survive 
under more adverse conditions. Or, though 
your bushes may grow, do not expect best re¬ 
sults unless you woudl give them thought and 
care throughout the year. Our plants are packed 
well in damp moss to arrive in perfect condi¬ 
tion for immediate planting. If not planted 
immediately the roots should be kept moist 
and stored in cool place until planted. 
DR. VAN FLEET —Flesh pink, double, and 
borne singly. 
Grafted on standards 4 to 5 feet high. Beau¬ 
tiful straight standards that will be matched 
for height and packed carefully. 
Plan these in connection with your beds of 
bush roses. You will be delighted with the 
effect. Each $2.50, 4 for $9.00. Shipped only by 
express or freight, not prepaid. Packed weight 
about 12 pounds.

Select a place that has not less than one-half 
the day’s sun, more or full sun is better. Dig 
the soil to a good depth to know that the plant ! 
will have good root room and that a layer of ) 
hard pan or tight earth does not exist just below 
the plant to hold water and injure during the I 
winter months. Enrich the soil with well rot- I 
ted manure and sand if necessary to create a 
friable condition. Some clay in the soil is de¬ 
sirable for its mineral content, provided enough 
sand and humus are added to make the soil 
workable. 
Dig large holes, spaced 18-24 inches apart. 
Spread out the roots and fill in with loose earth. 
Run water in the holes while filling in to bring 
soil in better and closer contact to the roots. 
TREE ROSES 
CRIMSON RAMBLER TREE DRUSCHKI DOROTHY PERKINS 
Cut back tops to about 10 or 12 inches. Do not 
plant too deep. Plant only to the depth the 
plant originally grew. This may be readily 
seen by the color of the bark, or just below the 
branches. 
During the growing season the plants should 
be fed with a good complete commercial fer¬ 
tilizer worked into the to,p soil around the 
plant; small quantities monthly is best. 
Dust the plants frequently with dry sulphur, 
containing about one-fifth arsenate of lead, to 
keep down mildew. Watch the young shoots for 
Aphis and use a spray containing either nico¬ 
tine or pyrethrum. 
Space does not permit more detailed instHic- 
tion and only a general outline is intended. 
Your interest and good judgment are after all 
the most important factors and will pay you 
a thousandfold for every effort spent.
