ROSES 
Every Variety a 
Standard of Quality 
S OME of the finest rose gardens in the United States are in New England, proving for once and all that an abundance 
of beautiful roses may be had by anyone who is willing to give them a little space and reasonable care. 
We have chosen the varieties carefully for beauty of bloom, health, and vigor of growth. The ground in which they 
are to be planted should be prepared as for a good crop of vegetables, although extra deep spading and fertilizing will be 
an advantage if especially fine specimen blooms are desired. During the first year little attention will be necessary beyond 
constant cultivation and protection from their enemies, but the second year and after, they should be fertilized regularly.
