Gole!i Quality, H&i&i 
Are Offered at Reasonable Prices 
Cole's Roses have the reputation of being the best that it is possible to produce. They will give the kind of results every flower 
lover is looking for. The prices at which these Roses are offered are very reasonable, considering their exceptional quality. Good 
gardeners invariably are not interested in low-priced offers, which mean inferior quality that must prove disappointing in the end. 
HYBRID TEA ROSES 
We offer only roses grown here on our own 
nursery- Roses grown in our locality are recog¬ 
nized as being the finest quality Roses pro¬ 
duced in America. 
We send out only two-yeor-old XX guar¬ 
anteed grade, which is top quality, and our 
select grade A is just as old but the plants are 
not quite as large. Both grades will give good 
results the first season. 
We offer only the very choicest and most 
popular varieties of Tea Roses. We recommend 
this collection for general planting. 
Care and Culture of Roses 
Unpack your Roses immediately. You will 
find them cut back a little. Cut them back 
to within 6 or 8 inches of the union and plant 
them so that the union (or bud) is just below 
the surface of the ground. If the season is 
well advanced hill the dirt up around the plant 
to a height fo 6 to 8 inches. This will protect 
the lower eyes on the canes from becoming 
dried out. After a period of two weeks (the 
roots have then become established) remove 
the dirt. Be sure to have your ground prepared 
before your Roses arrive. Never work clay soil 
when it is in a muddy condition. 
Many of our customers prefer fall planting 
of Roses which has been proven to be just as 
satisfactory as spring planting. In this case 
much the same procedure is followed, except 
that you do not cut back the Roses at the time 
of planting, but mound up the soil about the 
plant to the height of ten or twelve inches and 
with the approach of freezing weather cover 
the entire bed with a light mulch of straw, 
leaves or cut grass for additional protection. 
Early in the spring before growth starts re¬ 
move the mulch and level down the hills, cut 
out all weak shoots and cut back the main 
shoots to within six or eight inches of the 
ground or to sound wood.
