Remember the time you started on that longed-for trip to 
Mexico? Or California? Or the time you bought your new car? 
You didn’t keep on vaguely promising yourself that “some 
day” you would do it. You just made up your mind and the 
thing was done. So it is in growing the New Roses—your 
first step is to say to yourself, “This summer I am going to 
grow some of the New Roses”—and the rest is not at all 
difficult. The little sketches on the next page will give you 
some idea where to plant your Roses, and then you can select, 
from the color pages which follow, just the ones that would 
please you most. When the Roses arrive, you can follow the 
simple directions given on the last few pages. Even the person 
who has never grown flowers before may achieve success by 
following these simple instructions. 
A Few Beds Provide Plenty of Flowers 
It is surprising how many Roses can be grown in a small 
space. A 7-foot bed will accommodate a dozen plants which 
will supply daily a number of blooms for the house. Standard 
space between Rose plants is 14 inches, and it is easy to esti¬ 
mate how many plants are necessary 
for the beds or complete garden you 
have in view. Or, if you wish, a 
few Roses may be planted as a part 
of an informal border.
