DEPENDABLE GARDEN ROSES 
By all means have Roses in your garden—Roses to cut and 
Roses are not difficult to grow. Ordinary garden conditions, a 
soil that will grow good vegetables, and reasonable care will pro¬ 
duce surprisingly good blossoms from June until heavy frosts. 
No flower approaches the Rose in continuity of bloom or has its 
appeal as a cut-flower. Many new varieties have been added in 
recent years, increasing the color-range and at the same time 
making it possible to select varieties that can be grown without 
bring indoors where they may be enjoyed more intimately 
too much cultural attention. The beginner, however, will do 
well to consult one of the many good books available, such as 
“How to Grow Roses,” and join the American Rose Society. 
Multiflora Japonica is the best rootstock; it produces strong, 
fibrous root-systems and is thoroughly at home under our New 
England conditions. With few exceptions, our plants are grown 
on this stock.
