ROSES—HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW THEM 
(1) Buy from a reliable source. 
(2) Avoid buying “cheap roses.” You will be disappointed. 
(3) Cut rose bushes back to 9 inches when planting. 
(4) Do not mix any fertilizer with soil. 
(5) Mound dirt up on bushes when planting; let stay about five days, 
and remove dirt. 
(6) Buy those roses known as Monthly blooming, or Ever blooming, 
for Southern growing. 
(7) Put fertilizer on top of ground in late winter. (Well decayed cow- 
lot fertilizer is best.) 
(8) Keep roses well watered, not sprinkled. 
(9) Spray with sulphur to keep down black spot; and spray with 
Black Leaf 40 to keep down green lice. 
If you will follow these directions you can grow good roses, with good 
strong, long stems. 
SPECIAL NOTICE—You will be besieged with advertising of all sorts. 
Newspaper, catalog, radio, etc., offering roses for such ridiculous prices 
as ten for a dollar, postpaid. If you fall for this kind of advertising, you 
can expect no results; your good judgment should tell you that no reliable 
firm can sell you ten or a dozen roses for $1.00 and pay transportation, 
and send you stock that you will be satisfied with.
