As long as they exist ROSES will retain their 
dominant grip upon the affections and appreciations 
of flower lovers. 
Dormant roses should be well watered and the 
tops protected from the sun until the buds show 
growth, for the failure of most roses to live is due 
to lack of moisture. 
We can supply field-grown dormant plants at 65c 
each, $5.50 per 10; extra heavies at 75c each 
$6.50 per 10.
