ROSES 
1 lie Rose is the most popular flower of today and is found in nearly every garden. Our Roses are home¬ 
grown and the varieties we offer have all been tested and proven satisfactory in every way. 
Our plants are all budded. They are far superior to own-root plants, are more vigorous, and produce 
better and larger flowers. In order to grow good Roses, follow these directions. They will grow well only 
in open sunny positions. Prepare the beds in autumn, if possible, so they will be nicely settled and ready for 
early spring planting.. Dig out the soil to a depth of from 2 to 23T feet and see that they have good drain¬
