In Fruit Culture, It Pays to B e Thorough. The Big 
Out Door Roses 
Roses require rich soil with plenty of vegetable fiber in it in order to do 
their best. They must be partially protected anywhere in New York State and 
similar latitudes. Barn manure is best for roses and it must be put about them 
in the fall when they are dormant. Only slight coverings are necessary, such 
as boxes, barrels and the like, stood over the bushes to keep away the extreme 
cold and snow from breaking them down. All broken and diseased wood must 
be cut away each spring and the new branches cut back about in length. Our- 
rose bushes are not be compared with the cheap trash offered by department 
stores; and at the price we ask for them—25c each or $2.50 per dozen—are real 
bargains. Most every bush will bloom freely the first year set out. We offer a 
smaller grade of plants at 10c each; $1 per dozen. Add 5c for each rose plant 
if by mail.

work and almost as long to fill the 
small order as the larger one. 
As an inducement to make your 
order as large as possible, we
