CULTURAI^ DIRECTIONS —Plant as 
soon as possible after unpacking, keep¬ 
ing the roots moist and protected in the 
meantime. If the plants have dried out 
excessively during shipment, bury them, 
tops and all, in most earth before 
planting. 
Roses do well in almost any soil, and 
prefer a fully exposed sunny position. 
Before planting, the earth should be 
spaded to a depth of 18 inches and if 
possible a small amount of w'ell-rotteo 
manure mixed thoroughly with the top 
soil. Manure which is fresh or nearly so, 
must not be in direct contact with the 
roots. 
Rose bushes should be given a heavy 
pruning in the Winter season from No¬ 
vember to February, while dormant, or a 
little later in the Spring in colder sec¬ 
tions, All small twiggy growth should be 
removed, leaving only several large 
stalky canes. Another lighter pruning is 
advisable in the middle of Summer, 
when the plant is usually dormant for a 
short time between blooming periods. 
Roses require a large amount of 
water, particularly in regions of light 
rainfall, and should never be allowed to 
dry out during the growing season. The 
foliage need not be moistened except for 
an occasional sprinkling in the early 
morning to wash off the dust. Roses will 
respond to liberal applications of fertil¬ 
izer, and a mulch of well-rotted manure 
on top of the ground will serve the pur¬ 
pose of feeding the plants and keeping 
the ground moist. 
If wanted by mail, add 10c per plant 
up to 3 plants and 5c each for four 
plants or more to cover postage and 
extra packing. Express shipments will 
allow for more packing around the roots 
and we suggest having them expressed 
rather than mailed. 10% may be de¬ 
ducted from the listed price when order¬ 
ing in quantities of 6 or more roses.

the finest white roses 
grown. The buds are long 
and pointed with the 
outer edges gracefully 
rolled. Free blooming 
and fragrant. Each 50c. 
CONDESA BE SASTAGO 
—This is one of those 
brilliantly colored roses 
which draw the Ohs and 
Ahs from everyone who 
sees the rose for the first 
time. Cup shaped, bi-col¬ 
ored flowers, glowing 
orange color on the in¬ 
side of the petals and 
bright yellow on the out¬ 
side. Makes a startling 
color flash. Not very 
double but very fragrant. 
Each 75c. 
COEUMBIA (H. T.) —It 
is a big Rose. The color 
is a true pink, about the 
shade of a perfect Shaw- 
yer, deepening as it 
opens to glowing pink. 
Each 50c. 
BAME EBITH HEEEN 
—An engaging soft rose 
pink and the immense 
flowers are delightfully 
scented. The plant is 
very vigorous. Each 50c. 
ETOIEE BE HOEEANB (H. T.) — Flower 
bright red, of medium size, fairly full, 
delicately perfumed; growth vigorous, 
upright. A rose of great future. Each 
50c. 
FEU JOSEPH EOOYMANS — Remar.k- 
able for its long pointed buds of glow¬ 
ing orange buff and moderately double 
yellow flowers. Fragrant and excellent 
for cutting. Exceptionally fine. Each 50c. 
GOEBEN OFHEEIA (H. T.) — This is a 
sturdy, stiff-stemmed grower, with beau¬ 
tiful foliage, quite closely set, and 
glossy. The flower is of medium size 
from a beautifully formed bud of bright 
golden yellow. Profuse bloomer. Each

KAISEBIN AUGUSTA VICTOBIA — 
Probably the best creamy white rose 
grown for garden purposes in Arizona. 
Each 50c. 
MABGABET McGBEBY — Another rose 
that offers a distinctly new color in 
roses. Large brilliantly colored double 
flowers of an entrancing shade of Orien¬ 
tal red, passing to carmine-rose. A rose 
that keeps for a long time. Each 50c. 
EUEU —This dainty little Rose has al¬ 
ways been a great favorite because of 
the great quantities of dainty, long, 
slender buds of coral-apricot with which 
the bush is covered at all times. There 
is not a Rose more exquisitely formed 
in the bud stage than Lulu, and an as¬ 
tonishingly large number of Rose lovers 
will put Lulu at the very top of their 
list of Roses. Each 50c. 
MEBMAIB — This magnificent Rose is 
indispensable in every garden where 
there is room for it. It can be grown 
in almost any form desired—either as a 
climber on wall or fence, as a pillar 
Rose, or just as a big rambling bush, 
and in every case it makes a great mass 
of the most beautiful glossy evergreen 
foliage. Each 50c. 
COUNTESS VANBAE— One of the very 
finest pink Roses. Its long tapering 
buds of salmon-pink, richly shaded with 
copper and gold tones, are richly per¬ 
fumed, and the Countess produces con¬ 
tinually many of these beautifully 
formed, long-stemmed, lovely blooms. 
Each $1.00. 
CATAEONIA— We do not think there is 
any Rose which has a more brilliant and 
unique coloring than this new Spanish 
creation. We are not sure just what to 
call the color, whether it be vermilion, 
orange-scarlet or bright red with an 
orange underglow — but certainly it is 
entitled to those overworked adjectives 
— brilliant, vivid and unique. A rather 
spreading vigorous bush with handsome 
foliage, and the flowers, while lacking a 
bud, make a glorious open bloom, full- 
petalled and long lasting, and possessing 
a delightfully fruity fragrance. Each 
60c. 
J. OTTO THIEOW — The buds of this 
variety have just about the most perfect 
form of any rose grown and they open 
out into a full lasting flower which 
keeps well. Color is rose-pink, similar to 
Rose Marie, but the flowers are larger 
and are on stilfer stems. Each 50c. 
Add 10c per plant up to three plants 
and 5c each for four plants or more if 
desired by mail. This covers postage and 
extra care in packing. Order early. 
EBITH NEEEIE FEBKINS — The flow¬ 
ers are two-toned, orange-buff inside the 
petals and a rich salmon or coppery- 
pink outside, the orange tint giving a 
bright glowing effect to the entire bloom. 
The long stems are splendidly shaped, 
have excellent stiff stems for cutting, 
and are produced in great quantities on 
the strong, vigorous bush. Each 60o. 
MBS. SAM McGBEBY —A beautiful and 
distinct combination of vivid shades— 
coppery orange, heavily flushed with red 
on the outside of the petals. Delicately 
perfumed and an all-round splendid var¬ 
iety. Each 60c.
