HARDY EVERBLOOMING HYBRID TEA 
We offer below a very select list of the better roses of the 
day. Some of these are recent introductions that have created a 
great deal of favorable comment. Others are good standard 
sorts. Roses delight in a light, rich, warm soil with partial 
shade. The soil should be well drained and well cultivated, but 
a good water supply is desirable. Keep the old dead wood cut 
out of the rose bushes and spray often for both insects and 
disease. For mildew use Sulfodust; for leaf spot, Fungi Bordo; 
for chewing insects, Arsenate of Lead; and for aphis, Black 
Leaf 40 or Nicotine Dust. All of our roses are hardy field 
grown two-year-old stock and most of them are own root 
growth.

About Plant Shipments.—If your plant order amounts to 
$1.00, the prices quoted are postpaid with no charge for pack¬ 
ing. On orders for less than $1.00 worth of plants we are 
forced to charge extra for postage and packing. And to simplify 
matters we make a standard charge of 15c to cover packing 
and postage on any order of less than $1.00. 
We do not ship any plants out until April 1st and some 
of the more tender kinds are not ready then. We will make 
shipment as soon as the plants are ready or reserve your order 
for later shipment if you wish. Most of the soil is removed 
from the roots, and damp moss substituted. We ask our cus¬ 
tomers who wish these plants to make their reservations as 
early as possible in order that we may make preparations for 
taking care of their needs.
