A ROSE FOR EVERY PLACE AND PURPOSE 
“ The success of the Rose in this country is very largely a question 
of the selection of adaptable varieties.”— DR. LIBERTY H. BAILEY. 
The opposite page has helped you, no doubt, to avoid selecting those Roses not 
well suited to your climate, and' to a choice of the right ones for your locality. That 
is very important. Having received your Roses, do you yet realize in how many 
different ways they may be used, what clever, original, and decorative arrangements 
may be employed to make your home beautiful? 
Let us note the climbing Roses, for example. It is difficult to imagine a home with grounds at all 
that is too small for at least one climbing Rose. A climbing Rose that covers the entire side of a house may 
need only two cubic feet of soil to grow in. (Please note in passing the rose-embowered house on page 26.) 
The ingenuity of our readers will conceive a greater variety of uses than the few examples pictured on this 
page. A much more complete treatment of the subject will be found in our book, “How to Grow Roses.’’ 
1. For Trellis. For covering a trellis, select from the climbers, pages 23 to 28, inclusive, and espe¬ 
cially those on page 26. A trellis may be made of wood, wire, or other materials, and may be used 
about the house, porch, or garden, or for a screen. 
2. For an Archway. Use the same varieties as for above. “Dig deep while sluggards sleep,” and 
you’ll have Roses galore. The archway is most effective over a pathway or entrance. 
3. Pergola. A pergola, like an open tunnel, made up of a series of connected arches, 
should be covered with the same varieties recommended for arches, and is a great 
addition to any garden. 
4. Fences. First of all, plan for a substantial support, and choose, according to taste, 
from the long-branched climbers on pages 23 to 28, but especially on pages 26 to 28. 
5. Banks or Stumps. Any ugly or unsightly objects, from stumps to buildings, may 
be transformed into bowers of beauty. Expense is trifling, compared with the satis¬ 
faction. The hardy climbers, and especially Wichuraianas, are best for this purpose. 
6. Tree Roses are more fully described on page 9. We cannot begin to tell in this 
small space all the great variety of uses of the Rose. For complete information, 
we recommend that you refer to our book on the subject, “How to Grow Roses.”

“HOW TO GROW ROSES 
By ROBERT 
PYLE 
Pergola Effect 
A cloth-bound book, 121 pages—16 full-page color plates. 80 instructive illustrations 
If you simply wanted something to read, without any idea of getting instruction about 
growing Roses, you might turn to this book and be delightfully entertained for an hour or 
so. In this way it is an unusual Rose book; for in it you will find how the famous 
“attar of Roses” is made, how to make Rose beads, something about “the Red Rose 
Church” at Manheim, and also about the most beautiful Rose-garden in the world. 
To a lover of Roses there is more than this; for a beginner is told how to 
begin, how to establish ideals, and get started right; after which comes the valu¬ 
able “Calendar of Operations,” telling when and how to prune, spray, fertilize, 
and otherwise care for Roses the year round. There is a chapter on “Where to 
Plant Roses,” and others on drainage, soil, and fertilizers. You are 
told how to handle the plants when you receive them and the best 
way to mulch and protect them during the winter. Farther on is a 
most valuable list of 158 Roses, with instructions for pruning each 
one. The book ends with a comprehensive list of “Roses Arranged 
in Classes,” that should be of value to any lover of “the Queen of 
Flowers.” Price $ 1 , postpaid. 
MAKES A LOVELY PRESENT 
My “How to Grow Roses” arrived. My 
appreciation cannot be expressed in words. It 
will always be one of my precious belongings 
and I think I shall have to order one for a 
present and share my pleasure with someone 
else.—Mrs. Geo. E. Andrews, Norton, Mass. 
For Stumps or Rockeries
