“X'L” Hardy Field-Grown Roses 
OUR ROSES ARE BUDDED ON HARDIEST STOCK —The va¬ 
rieties 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 expenses. 
_CULTURE. Before planting, consider these simple instruc¬ 
tions: Sunny location protected from boisterous, cold north 
winds. The soil should be clean and mellow; containing 
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 ap¬ 
plied 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. 
In comparing prices, all we ask of you is to give qual¬ 
ity and grade their true value. Our old customers will 
understand.

cupped, lasting, slightly fragrant; burnt orange streaked 
with red.

An outstanding, vigorous, free-flowering variety with 
long-pointed buds, and long-lasting double, fragrant 
flowers. Oriental red shaded orange-cerise, the inside of

The very hardiest and most free blooming red rose. 
Used widely for cemeteries, filling stations, city park ways 
and school yards. Abundant foliage of bronze-green. 
Always covered profusely with its red bloom—so red that 
at a distance it has the flame of cannas or geraniums.

The rose of many Gold Medals. A combination of shad¬ 
ings of gold, apricot, yellow and deep pink or old rose.

There is no more brilliant and out-of-the-ordinary 
color in Roses than is found in this variety. The gen¬

the petals and look as though they had been pencilled 
on.
