Roses have become the most popular flowers 
and plants in the garden. With all the new 
varieties one may select any color or com¬ 
bination of colors they may desire. 
While we do not grow our own Roses, we 
take great care to get plants that are grown 
as near as possible to our local conditions. 
Therefore, we secure our Roses from one of 
the largest rose - growing specialists in the 
country. They are located only fifty miles 
west of Syracuse. 
We carry only No. 1, two year, field grown, 
budded plants, thus assuring as far as possible, 
the strongest of plants which will bloom well 
the first season. All our Roses are guaranteed 
to grow the first summer and to be true to 
name. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROSES 
When you receive your Rose plants they should be 
planted at once, if possible. If not, the package should 
be moistened without uncovering the roots and kept 
in a cool place, or unpacked and laid in a trench, 
covering up practically all of the branches as well as 
the roots and kept wet until they are planted. 
To Prepare the Bed—It should be dug at least 18 
inches deep and filled with good soil and rotted 
manure mixed well together and well packed down. 
Roses will be trimmed and ready for planting when 
delivered. They should be planted about two feet 
apart. 
The plants which we furnish are all budded and it 
is very essential that they be planted so the bud is at 
least two inches below the surface of the ground, 
after it has been leveled off. Have the hole large 
enough so as not to crowd the roots and pack the soil 
firmly down as it is filled in. Do not allow any 
manure to get against the roots of the plant. Put 
fertilizer on top after planting and allow it to stay on 
until the plants have started to grow good; then it 
can be forked into the ground. 
Keep Well Watered
