FARR QUALITY ROSES 
Farr Roses arc two-year-old, lield- 
grown plants of the specimen grade illus¬ 
trated to right. Every Farr Rose plant is 
guaranteed to bloom this year, except climb¬ 
ing varieties. See the Farr Free Replace¬ 
ment Guarantee, page 19. 
Where to Plant 
Roses are best located in beds or gardens 
by themselves. If you have a choice, locate 
the Rose-bed where sunlight will not flood 
it until midday. Avoid low, poorly drained 
soil. The best soil is a rich clay loam, but 
Roses do well in almost any ground if it 
is fertilized, drained, and cultivated. 
How to Plant 
Complete culture and planting instruc¬ 
tions are supplied with order acknowledg¬ 
ments. 
We recommend Tri-ogen as the complete 
Rose spray. See page 19 for prices 
When to Plant 
Dormant Roses must be ordered early. 
They must be shipped before the leaves 
appear, during early April. Our Cloverset 
Potted Roses can be transplanted safely 
at any time but cannot be supplied beyond 
our truck delivery radius. 
A Peck of Soil with Every Plant 
(For local shipment and delivery only) 
The Cloverset Rose Pot at upper right 
contains two and one-half times as much 
soil as the tapering clay pot which is not 
large enough for the roots of a real Rose 
plant. The Cloverset Rose Pot has ample 
room and soil for a root-spread and 
development which will produce the finest 
first-year bloom and ultimate plant 
vitality.
