Roses — For Landscapes and Bouquets 
There are no flowers giving such a profusion of bloom over such a long period of time as our fine 
Roses. The varieties listed are well suited to southern conditions and will give a maximum of flowers 
throughout the season. 
At our very low prices, you can have a fine large Rose-garden, featuring varieties that are tested 
and proven as good growers and prolific producers. Your friends like Roses, too, and it’s nice to be 
able to give joy to others by sending them a beautiful bunch of Roses now and then. 
Planting and Care 
Bush Roses bloom on new growth, and when planting your Rose bushes they should be cut 
back to about 8 inches in height. This will give you a good lot of new growth and result in more 
bloom. Roses are heavy feeders, and should have plenty of fertilizer. Stable or dairy manure worked 
into the bed before planting are excellent, and the application of 5-7-5 commercial fertilizer or 
Vigoro about every 60 days during the growing season will keep the bushes healthy and blooming 
well. Small amounts of commercial fertilizer should be used, about 2 ounces at each application. 
Give Roses good drainage and in dry weather water them well. 
In setting the bushes, make the holes large enough to spread the roots out naturally without 
crowding, fill in about half way with well-pulverized soil, then water thoroughly. Finish filling in 
and pack well, so that the bushes are tight in the ground. 
Prices on all Roses: 6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.00; 50 for $7.50

favorites. A strong, vigorous grower pro¬ 
ducing brilliant red flowers. 
Red Radiance. The No. 1 Rose for the

great quantity of blooms it produces all 
through the season, even in the hottest part 
of the summer.
