EVERGREENS AND OTHER 
ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS

plete; varieties for every section in the South, Southwest and 
Gulf Coast sections. The plants we list are young stock, 
full of life and vigor. They are shipped balled in damp 
sphagnum moss. Plant carefully day received. Remove 
moss before planting. Water well. Stake to keep wind from 
blowing vlants around. You will get a lot of pleasure and 
satisfaction watching these young plants grow and develop 
into lovely specimens. The five best plants for general 
beautification of home, we think, are as follows: Bakers 
Arborvitae, Pfitzers Juniper, Yellow Jasmine, Abelia, Wax-

ROSES —HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY GROW 
THEM 
(1) Buy from a reliable source. 
(2) Avoid buying ‘cheap roses.” You will be dis- 
appointed. 
(3) Cut rose bushes back to 9 inches when planting. 
(4) Do not mix any fertilizer with soil. 
(5) Mound dirt up on bushes when planting; let stay 
about five days, and remove dirt. 
(6) Buy those roses known as Monthly blooming, or 
Everblooming, for Southern growing. 
(7) Put fertilizer on top of ground in 
(Well decayed cowlot fertilizer is best.) 
(8) Keep roses well watered, not sprinkled. 
(9) Spray with sulphur to keep down black spot; and 
spray with Black Leaf 40 to keep down green lice. 
If you will follow these directions you can grow good 
roses, with good strong, long stems. 
SPECIAL NOTICE—You will be besieged with advertising 
of all sorts. Newspaper, catalog, radio, etc., offering rosés 
for such ridiculous prices as ten for a dollar, postpaid. 
you fall for this kind of advertising, you can expect no re- 
sults; your good judgment should tell you that no reliable 
firm can sell you ten or a dozen roses for $1.00 and pay 
penaperraties: and send you stock that you will be satishied 
with.
