HAKDY ROSES, BEDDING AND CLIMBING 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Dormant plants should be planted in the early spring, which will insure bloom the first season. If the location is not exposed, we would recom¬ 
mend late fall planting, with some winter protection, as advised in instructions under “Protection.” 
LOCATION 
Roses thrive in any rich soil, which is well drained (they will not thrive in very wet soil). They should always be planted in an open sunny* 
exposure, giving them all the sunlight possible. 
PROTECTION 
All Hybrid Roses give better results if protected in the winter. The use of coarse manure, leaves or evergreen boughs, as a light covering about 
the plants, will accomplish the purpose. This should be removed in the early spring. 
EVERBLOOMING BEDDING ROSES 
Prices 60c. each; $5.00 per 10; $45.00 per 100. 
The Roses in this class are especially valuable for their free and continuous blooming qualities, and more desirable than the June blooming Roses. 
This class will produce an abundance of bloom from June until October, and we recommend them particularly on this account. 
By consulting the following list, one can stock his garden or border with plants which will have a succession of bloom from early spring until 
late in the autumn. About all the plants we grow are strong field-grown, the only exceptions are a few species which transplant better by being grown.
