ROSES 
Growing and distributing Roses of best quality is one of our special- 
ties. 
We believe we have a very complete list of the finest and most highly 
recommended roses. We have added new varieties as we learned them 
to be of value and discarded others as they proved unsatisfactory in this 
climate. We staunchly maintain that any rose listed hereunder can be 
made to successfully bloom and winter here in Minnesota with “just ordi- 
nary’’ care. We do advise cutting back to 6 inches all but the Rugosa 
types in the fall and mounding over with loose earth or sand. They should 
be planted in a well spaded clay loam soil and if necessary spray sev- 
eral times in the summer with an ordinary fly sprayer filled with any 
one of the commercial sprays. We use the Acme All Purpose spray. It 
can be secured anywhere and at small cost. Just mix a batch of this in 
a jug and uSe from this as you need it. 
These roses are all grafted on hardy roots and are not the kind you 
pick up at bargain prices. The ‘‘bargain roses” that you find in chain and 
department stores at lower prices are usually rooted cuttings or ‘Bench 
plants” that have been discarded after a season of bloom in a greenhouse. 
Prices on All Roses, 50c Each, any 5 for $2.00 
(Unless otherwise quoted) 
Please note: Our roses are all two year No. 1 field grown and should 
bloom 30 days after you plant them. Visitors to our nursery may secure 
these roses grow _ng and even blooming in specially prepared paper pots 
containing proper type of soil and fertilizer. You plant these (pot and 
all) without any chance of loss. These are sold from April 1 to November 
1 at 75e each or 3 for $2.00. (These cannot be shipped.)
