ROSES 
As long as they exist, Roses will retain their dominant grip on 
the affections and appreciations of flower lovers. 
Dormant Roses should be well watered and the tops protected 
from the sun until the buds show growth. The failure of most 
Roses to live is due to lack of moisture. Give your Rose-plants 
the care they deserve and you will be well repaid. 
EVERBLOOMING HYBRID TEA ROSES 
Few plants give greater satisfaction than the modern everblooming Hybrid Tea Roses. 
We can supply extra-heavy field-grown dormant plants until May 1, at 75 cts. each;
