ROSES 
All plants offered at two-year field-grown bushes. Cut back the top so 
only two or three of the stronger canes are left six inches long, and plant a 
little deeper than they grew in well-drained rich soil. Sun until about 2 p.m. 
then shade, is the ideal exposure. 
QUANTITY PRICES. Almost as much work and expense is used in filling 
and packing an order for one bush as several, so we can give cheaper rates on 
larger quantities except the patented varieties. 
On orders for 5 to 10 plants deduct .5c per plant 
On orders for 10 or more plants deduct.10c per plant 
CLIMBING ROSES
