Inter-State Everblooming Roses 
Inter-State roses are so well known all over 
America that it hardly seems necessary to say any¬ 
thing about them. The roses we will send you this 
fall, we sincerely believe, are the finest produced in 
the United States. In fact we are so sure of this that 
we make this most unusual guarantee— 
When you receive the plants, if you are not 
entirely satisfied, write us and we will refund 
every cent you paid us for the roses. You need 
not return the rose plants, just keep them. 
We believe this is the greatest guarantee ever 
made and could not be made if we did not know 
positively that our rose plants will please you. 
Roses for Fall Planting 
Roses can be planted successfully in the fall if you 
follow carefully these instructions. Plant on ground 
which is well drained. If there is any doubt about 
drainage, then dig down 30 inches and put in a six 
inch layer of clinkers and coarse cinders. Then put 
in six inches of rich fresh cattle manure to which 
you can add 5% of its weight of super-phosphate. 
Then put in six inches of clay loam mixed half and 
half with rotted manure. This will then leave a hole 
ready for planting the roses. When planting the 
roses use any fairly rich soil, a clay loam is prefer¬ 
able, but do not use any manure of any kind in this 
top planting layer. It is best to make the bed several 
weeks before you are ready to plant so that the soil 
can settle. 
Of course you do not need to go to all the above 
trouble, but if you want the very finest blooms and 
want your bed to last, it is well worth the extra work. 
After the roses are planted, setting them 14 to 16 
inches apart, (be sure the dirt is pressed very firmly 
about the roots, and if the ground is dry, you must 
soak the entire bed very thoroughly), then bank soil 
around the plants at least eight inches high and fill 
the hollows between plants with manure (cow man¬ 
ure if possible). When the ground is frozen, cover 
the whole bed with straw, marsh hay, hardwood 
leaves or any rather coarse leafy material. This is 
to protect the bed from alternate freezing and 
thawing. 
This may seem like quite a lot of effort, but the 
results will be so exceptionally wonderful that next 
summer you will write us and tell what glorious roses 
you are enjoying. 
We offer two sizes of rose plants. Both are strictly 
hardy, 2 year field grown budded plants. The 2 Year 
No. 1 Selected Plants are the finest it is possible to 
grow. These roses have made Inter-State roses fam¬ 
ous all over America. The 2 Year Standard size is a 
smaller plant. These are a great value at their lower 
price for they are genuine Inter-State roses. You 
have your choice of exactly the same varieties as 
in the 2 Year No. 1 size.
