Here Are Simple Hints for Growing Prize-Winning Roses 
GLORIA MUNDI 
Time to Plant —We advise Fall planting when 
and where possible. You should be guided by cli¬ 
matic conditions in your section and the experience 
of successful local gardeners. We usually begin 
shipping about October 1 and continue until April 1, 
but find late Spring plantings do not survive the 
first .Summer as well as the earlier plantings. 
.\.ny good soil, in a sunny location, and away from 
trees and shrubbery is right for Roses. The soil 
should be spaded or plowed deeply, and all plant- 
food placed as far down as possible or broadcast on, 
but avoid having fertilizer or plant foods in direct 
contact with the roots. 
Should watering be required in dry weather, be 
sure to soak the soil thoroughly. A light sprinkling 
is almost useless. Good cultivation and loose top¬ 
soil, or a mulch of peat moss, is surely as important 
as watering. 
Mildew and black spot may be controlled with a 
mixture of 9 parts dusting sulphur to 1 part arsenate 
of lead applied weekly with a dusting gun or muslin 
bag. 
When cutting the blooms, be sure to let two leaves 
remain on the branch {See illustration). 
We cannot control cultivation, soil conditions, or 
moisture, therefore we regret to say that 
WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE PLANTS 
TO LIVE 
Roses must have ample drainage. If soil is heavy, excavate to depth of 12 inches, put 
4 inches of coarse cinder in bottom and add 8 inches of good loam with some clay. The 
addition of well rotted cow manure is advised.
