How to Plant 
ROSES 
Don’t know any one thing that is so abso¬ 
lutely perfect—color, fragrance, continuance 
of bloom, as the rose. If I was dictator, I’d 
see that everyone had a rose garden. Now-a- 
days, the home grown rose looks so much like 
its greenhouse sister you can’t tell them apart. 
I sell only big 2 vr. field grown hybrid teas, 
the best in the world—all state inspected and 
approved. They’ll bloom from June to frost 
every month of the year. Buy the best. 
K. A. VICTORIA—This is a favorite white rose for 
the middle west. The buds and half open glisten¬ 
ing white flowers are as fine as any you’ve seen in 
a greenhouse. Foliage exceptionally shiny and 
glossy. Superhardy and always in bloom. 
CALEDONIA—A large, double white, full high cen¬ 
tered and a vigorous healthy variety. 
EDEL—A very fragrant pure white big double rose 
I consider one of the choicest. Buds are faintly 
shaded with ivory.

Plant in rich, well 
drained soil about 18 
inches apart. Prune 
back to about 5 in. and 
mound up dirt 5 or 6 
inches deep until buds 
swell (10 days) and 
then remove. From then 
on they’ll grow like 
weeds. In winter, hill 
up dirt around each 
plant and cover with 
straw.
