Note the bt utiful cluster 
of blossoms which come in a beautiful shade of warm 
pink. This shrub produces a wealth of flowers, each 
cluster practically a tailor-made bouquet. The foliage 
is healthy, of the pretty Rugosa type, and the shrub 
is entirely hardy in the Middle West without cover. 
It will reach a height of about 4 ft. developing into 
nice bush form. Therefore, very valuable in landscape 
work, for background in the rose bed, as groups by 
themselves, or in between regular flowering shrubs. 
Being practically everblooming it will be highly attrac¬ 
tive throughout the growing season. Nice 2-year No. 1 
field grown shrubs, 50c each; 3 for $1.25; postpaid. 
To get your roses to deliver the greatest number of 
flowers during the blooming season water heavily in 
dry weather. An application of well rotted barn 
manure in early spring worked lightly in the soil, or a 
top application of Vigoro (according to directions) will 
be most effective. It will produce a stronger growth, 
and with proper pruning more flowers. Pruning takes 
place after every blooming period, removing all faded 
blossoms and their stems back to the nearest branch 
bud. Always prune in late fall or early spring (except 
Rugosa and Hugonis) cutting the 
plants way back for more new bloom¬ 
ing canes from the ground up. Roses ^ 
that need covering over winter are jgmm 
cut back before covering; cover after figi* 
leaves have fallen.
