Hardy Roses 
/CHOICE HARDY GARDEN ROSES are a special feature of our business, many 
thousands of them being sold annually. Most experienced buyers of roses prefer 
strong, field-grown stock , all ready to make a good showing of both vigorous growth and 
blossoms. This is the only grade we offer. 
Distance Apart to Plant. Rose gardens are usually most effective when planted 
in beds or borders wide enough to allow for at least three rows of plants. This is, of course, 
subject to local conditions. If planted in beds seven feet wide this allows for three rows 
set 2 l /2 feet apart and a margin of a foot for outside borders. A rose bed ten feet long 
and seven feet wide will call for one dozen roses if planted 2]/ z feet apart each way. A 
rose bed twentydive feet long requires thirty plants. It is desirable to place the strong¬ 
est growing varieties in the center row. If the border is in the foreground of a fence, 
wall or other dividing line, the strongest growing roses should be planted in the back 
row, also climbing roses should be planted in the background about six feet apart, and 
trained over some support. This will add to the effect and the climbing roses will not 
interfere with the others. It is desirable, when a number of roses are used, to plant 
enough of each kind in a group to produce a solid effect of color. 
If desiring advice on Rose-Gardens, we will be glad to have you inquire of us for 
general information. We are sure we can assist you.

Hybrid Tea and other Perpetual Blooming Roses 
These roses are the product of crossing the hybrid-perpetual-roses with the tender 
tea-roses. They are, as a class, not so strong growers as the hybrid-perpetuals, and not 
quite so hardy to extremes of winter, but will repay any extra care they may demand for 
protection. The flowers have all the refinement of the tea-roses in color, texture and 
fragrance, and bloom quite freely during the summer. There is now no excuse for not 
having in the Northern gardens a profusion of beautiful roses during the entire summer, 
and as fine ones as anywhere in the world.
