RHUS 
Sumacs are numerous, in variety and 
uses. Particularly sought for the bright 
Autumn coloring of the foliage. Ideal 
for groups, clumps, background or plant¬ 
ing in, or around rocky places.

Rhus Laciniata (Cut-leaved Sumac) 6-8

popular. Grows upright and bushy, foli¬ 
age dark green, deeply edged. Blossoms 
in May, bright yellow, sweet, spicy- 
scented. Will thrive in any good soil.

ROSES 
In spite of the failures some¬ 
times reported in growing roses, 
the rose still remains the Queen of 
flowers. The chief trouble lies in 
roses winter killing. This can be 
overcome : first — by growing 
strong healthy tops and roots by 
proper feeding during the sum¬ 
mer; second—by covering or pro¬ 
tecting them in the winter with a 
loose straw mulch. 
Following is a list of the hardier 
varieties we grow successfully. 
Hardy hybrid perpetuals, produc¬ 
ing fine cut flowers all summer.
