ROSES 
Fall planting of Roses is preferred by the more experienced 
growers. The important requirement is that the w'ood must 
first be well-matured and thoroughly ripened. Planting work 
should, therefore, be deferred until well into November. The 
plants should be hilled with soil high enough to cover at least 
9 inches of the wood. When this freezes, cover with a good 
coating of manure or leaves or straw. The point is to keep the 
ground frozen throughout the winter and thus prevent the 
spasmodic freezing and thawfing which causes winter injuries. 
We offer here just a few of the very best varieties. Plants are 
two-year, field-grown, and first-class in every respect. Please 
write for prices on varieties not listed here.
