SUMMER BEDDING ROSES FOR CUT FLOWERS 
Mr. Florist, You Have No Excuse To Be Without Roses During Any Day of the Summer, and Plenty of Them 
T HK PLANTING of Roses in the garden for summer cut flowers has become in recent years a large business. We sell as 
many as twenty thousand plants to one concern for this purpose. The best proof that it is profitable is the fact that the 
. . nrms who first made the trial are increasing their plantings, while many others are going into it. You say, “How shall we 
wimer tiiern? We reply to let your wheels revolve fast enough to realize that you can buy Roses as cheaply as you can buy 
oamas and Geraniums, and should you fail to winter the Roses, no serious loss is sustained. Another thing, the Tea and Hybrid 
Jea Koses will produce more blooms twice over than any Geranium. No florist has an excuse for being out of Roses through¬ 
out the entire summer season, and your blooms will be finer than any ever cut under glass. 
HOW TO OBTAIN THESE RESULTS

Marechal Niel’s at New Orleans 
If our friends at New Orleans will take our two and one- 
fourth-inch pot plants of Marechal Niel in January or Feb¬ 
ruary, shift them into a four-inch pot. plunge outside in 
old manure, stake and water as needed, and shift into larger 
pots as required, they can have every three and one-half 
cents they buy of us up into a $1.00 plant by September and 
October. In this way you never have the fatality when 
planted out that occurs in the Layered Banksia that are 
budded, and you get a much superior growth. Try this plan.

Dear Sirs: Just thought, you'd like to hear of our won¬ 
derful success with G. & R. Roses for this summer. I 
have one thousand Cochet Roses from four to six years old, 
and then I have about one thousand which you sold me this 
March and April. This latter bed I have spared when pos¬ 
sible, hut am writing to say that I have picked one thou¬ 
sand perfect buds every day for ten weeks. Have sold thir¬ 
teen thousand of these to an Atlanta Arm during the month 
of August, and with the others, supplied my retail trade. 
Have fed them often with commercial fertilizer, hone meal 
and cotton seed meal. I am giving them a mulch now of 
stable manure and charcoal. Our irrigation has been grand, 
and I know how much people enjoy hearing good of their 
products, so thought I would tell you, as I am very proud 
and grateful for my success. 
Please send me a list of the most profllic Peonies. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. HENRY MEINERT.

I wish you could see some of the cut flowers I am getting 
from Paui Neyrons (tall as my head), K. A. Victoria, etc.—lit 
tie 2 %-inch plants a year ago, now taller than my head, and 
some of them with bases of shoots three inches thick 
did wonders here the past year. " *

they have grown in one year for me. There are no Roses like 
yours. I know, because I have tried others. Yours truly
