The diagrams show the proper depths and method of planting 
shrubs, flowers, roses, and bulbs. Rules for successful planting: 
1. Dig hole larger than root system. Fill loose, fertile top soil 
around the roots. The loose fertile top soil is more nutritious 
and enables the new, tender roots to grow. 2. Fill hole about 
two-thirds full, firm or pack soil, then water until completely 
saturated. Fill remainder of hole with dry soil.

DIRECTIONS 
FOR PLANTING 
AND GROWING ROSES 
Follow simple directions in picture 
and you will succeed with our hardy 
roses and enjoy an abundance of 
bloom. A well drained soil is essen¬ 
tial. With heavy soils adequate drain¬ 
age should be provided. Plant below 
the bud or where the branches start. 
This is usually about 2 inches deeper 
than they grow in the nursery row. 
After planting, mound up about 6 
inches high around top of plant. Cut 
off top of rose bushes 1 or 2 inches 
above top of mound. Do not remove 
mound for at least ten days. Plant 
roses in beds 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Water well when planting. Fertilize 
with manure or any good commer¬ 
cial fertilizer about two weeks after 
roses have been planted. 
PLANTING FLOWER SEEDS 
Plant or cover seed 3 times diam¬ 
eter of seed. If seed is % inch in 
diameter, plant % inches deep. Fine seed, sow or broadcast on top of ground, 
rake soil lightly after sowing. Keep continuously moist until seed germinates. 
Best to cover seeds with a light mulch of straw, leaves, or burlap to keep 
hot sun from drying out the seed. Remove mulch or burlap soon as seed 
germinates. Dig and rake soil thoroughly before seeding.
