Neosho Rose Garden Attracts Attention 
“In this locality the market is flooded with 
inferior nursery stock which sells at a low 
price and is worth less. As a result my 
rose garden with your good 2-year-old 
Neosho field grown roses attracts the at¬ 
tention of everyone who sees it. Some of 
my roses measured over 5 inches in di¬ 
ameter, and my dozen plants.-bought from 
you last year have been a solid mass of 
bloom for the past month. On one Talisman 
bush I counted nine large roses and four¬ 
teen buds all at the same time. Am always 
glad to recommend your Company to my 
friends.”—J. M. McCANN, Independence, Mo. 
Says Neosho Plants Are Sturdy and 
Easy to Grow 
“I received my order of plants and, as 
usual, they are sturdy plants and were 
carefully packed. I would like to take this 
opportunity to express my satisfaction with 
everything I have ever bought from you; it 
is all healthy stock and consequently easy 
to grow.”—Mrs. Sam Allen, Sapulpa, Okla.

orous habit. You can’t go wrong on this 
one.

the Radiance family, with lovely shell

form, with shadings of soft salmon, 
sweetly perfumed. One of the best.

pink, flame, scarlet and yellow with 
broad, thick petals; very fragrant.

ment over Talisman.

grance. There are more Radiance roses 
grown and planted than any other 
dozen varieties put together. 
Red Radiance —The same good habit 
and blooming qualities of Radiance, but 
a bright cerise-red in color. 
Talisman —A glorious multi-colored 
rose, unfolding its broad thick petals 
from the beautifully pointed bud. Vivid 
cerise-pink, softly flamed with yellow, 
orange and scarlet. Delightfully fra¬ 
grant. The most vivid color yet pro¬ 
duced in roses. 
Directions for Successful 
Rose Culture 
These directions were furnished by 
William Buehler . . . who lost only 
17 out of 350 2-year-old hardy, field 
grown, Neosho rose plants . . . during 
the terrible drought of 1934. His plants 
produced over 12,000 blooms and a cane 
growth 3 to 4 ft. high. This is the 
procedure he followed in planting and 
caring for these roses last summer. 
He selected a well-drained site with 
plenty of sunlight, scattered well- 
rotted cow manure 3 inches deep, one- 
half pound of lime and one pound of 
bone meal to each square yard of sur¬ 
face and spaded this in to a depth of 
fifteen inches. 
Beds were culti¬ 
vated lightly after 
each rain, taking 
care not to go over 
lVz to 2 inches 
deep. 
He mulched 
with peat moss 
during July and 
August and gave 
them a good, 
thorough soaking 
once a week and 
sprayed the plants 
only every two 
weeks.
