HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
Planted too deep. 
Hybrid Perpetual Roses 
Massive June-Blooming Varieties 
These Roses are bigger, stronger, and hardier than the Hybrid 
Teas. They are essentially cold country Roses, and delight in cool 
weather in spring and summer. Their magnificent blooms are pro¬ 
duced in early summer and again in late fall, surpassing all other 
Roses in brilliance of color and in fragrance. 
Dormant plants, 75c each; potted plants, ^1.00 each. 
Frau Karl Druschki. The most famous white Rose in existence. Buds 
are pinkish, but the delightfully shaped flowers are pure, snowy 
white. Continuous bloom and beauty make its lack of fragrance 
unnoticeable. 
General Jacqueminot. An old favorite with double, pointed flowers 
of scarlet-crimson. 
Mme. Albert Barbier. Full, cupped large blooms of buff, salmon, 
and yellow. 
Mrs. John Laing. Symmetrica], smooth flowers of soft, glowing pink, 
deliciously sweet. 
S. M. Gustave V. Brilliant crimson-pink blossoms of good size and 
rich fragrance. 
Correct planting depth. 
Planted too shallow.
