F orty-Acre 
Rose Field 
(RIGHT) 
Here’s our forty-acre, sandy loam field, that 
has never been in roses before. It has plenty 
of humus and is free from roses disease. This 
field holds 524,604 cuttings. Other fields bring 
our total to much above this. 
The ridge smoothed and marked, the cut¬ 
ting planter’s only duty is to stick the cutting 
at the clearly defined intersection of the disc- 
blade slit and the horizontal 8-inch line of the 
rolling marker. Thus the cuttings are planted 
in perfectly straight line with accurate spacing. 
tious Harvesting and Packing Can Defeat You 
The Shortest Distance Between Two Points is a Straight Line—From Our 
Fields—To Our House—To YOU 
A Busy Scene In One 
Corner of Our Pack¬ 
ing Plant 
(RIGHT) 
Our Nursery Inspection Bureau lists some 
400 East Texas rose growers and jobbers. Prob¬ 
ably less that a dozen of these growers have a 
nursery house for the protection of rose bushes 
as they are being prepared for shipment. 
The old adage “When you get sick send for 
a doctor” is still good advice. We want to add— 
“and be sure you don’t get a horse-doctor.” 
Not a man in the packing house scene has 
been with Dixie less than eight years; the head 
packer has packed roses for twenty years. Each 
of the four key men is a rose expert in his own 
right.
