FARR QUALITY ROSES 
Farr Roses are two-year-old, field- 
grown plants of the specimen grade illus¬ 
trated to right. Every Farr Rose plant is 
guaranteed to bloom ibis year, except climb¬ 
ing varieties. See the Farr Free Replace¬ 
ment Guarantee, page 19. 
Where to Plant 
Roses are best located in beds or gardens 
by themselves. If you have a choice, locate 
the Rose-bed where sunlight will not flood 
it until midday. Avoid low, poorly drained 
soil. The best soil is a rich clay loam, but 
Roses do well in almost any ground if it 
is fertilized, drained, and cultivated. 
How to Plant 
Complete culture and planting instruc¬ 
tions are supplied with order acknowledg¬ 
ments. 
We recommend Tri-ogen as the complete 
Rose spray. See page 19 for prices 
When to Plant 
Dormant Roses must be ordered early. 
They must be shipped before the leaves 
appear, during early April. Our Cloverset 
Potted Roses can be transplanted safely 
at any time but cannot be supplied beyond 
our truck delivery radius.

POTTED ROSES—Plus 15c 
(For local call or delivery only ) 
After April 10, Roses are usually sprouted 
and can no longer be handled safely with 
bare roots. Orders are then supplied with 
Cloverset Potted Plants for 15 cts. per plant 
additional. Cloverset Pots contain a peck of 
specially prepared soil or 2 Yi times as much 
soil and room as the clay rose-pot. The pots 
are made of roofing paper and are removed by 
tearing or cutting after setting the plants in 
their place. Roots are not cramped and will 
therefore spread naturally and assure per¬ 
manent success.
