BUSH ROSES 
Roses are easily grown, but never plant 
them carelessly. Plant them in a hole that 
is large enough so as not to cramp the 
roots. Place the soil about the roots; add 
plenty of water and pack firmly. A little 
well-rotted manure, mixed with the soil, is 
very beneficial. Don't expect roses that 
are planted in April or May to start grow¬ 
ing in a week or ten days; give them at 
least three weeks to start. 
A full page of No. 1 Roses. When 
we say NUMBER ONE, we mean 
that the roses have strong unwaxed 
canes and a mass of vigorous roots 
containing many small fibrous roots 
that enable the plant to get the much 
needed start when first planted. We 
would also like to call your attention 
to the fact that early plantings bring 
early flowers. Hot weather plant¬ 
ings are never as good as when 
planted during the cooler spring 
weather.
