and spreading- 5 to 6 feet. Perfectly hardy, retains a good, showy 
foliage throughout the summer. The sparkling buds begin to swell 
in April, a beautiful picture for several weeks, and finally when the blossoms 
open in June the bush looks like a shimmering mound of gold. Nice 2-year 
No. 1 shrubs, 45c each; 3 for $1.10; postpaid. 
Fclrimo Rcw-fiitv Rocoo Beautiful shrubs of the Rugosa Rose type, 
DcUUly nOaca having the pretty Rugosa foliage, and per¬ 
fect hardiness; needs no protection over winter anywhere. Very fine in the

for planting in cemeteries. The flowers appear in very pretty, showy clusters, 
double, and continue to appear through the greater part of the summer.

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 
cut back before covering; cover after 
leaves have fallen.
