Ch oice fiardy Roses. 
—— 
T HAT the Rose is the universally favorite flower 
there is no question, and that most of the more 
desirable varieties will thrive luxuriantly in al¬ 
most any garden without any protection, is a fact that 
should be appreciated. Roses prefer to be high livers, 
and if we look for the most from the rose garden we 
must see that the plants are not deprived of plenty of 
plant food. Previous to planting out Roses, the ground 
should be thoroughly enriched, preferably by the use 
of a liberal supply of well-rotted manure mixed thor¬ 
oughly with the soil. After planting, and each suc¬ 
ceeding fall, apply a generous mulching of coarse 
manure about the plants; This serves as a winter 
protection and greatly adds to the fertility of the 
ground. This mulching should be spaded in among 
the plants the following spring. Luxuriant growth 
and quantities of blooms are the reward for properly 
planted and cared for Rose plants, 
Our Roses are all strong field-grown plants ready 
for planting out, aod can be depended on to grow 
vigorously and quickly produce an abundance of.
