DIRECTIONS 
For Replanting Planted or Potted Roses 
Replanting the planted Roses in our Cloverset Pots is very 
simple indeed. The Pots are removed from the plants and the 
ball of soil set in the bed so the soil level in the Pots is about 
one inch below the ultimate level of the soil in the bed. Always 
pack the soil tight around the roots of any kind of plants. This 
is done to force the air spaces out of the soil around the roots. 
After this a generous watering to thoroughly soak the soil down 
to the bottom roots is. all that is necessary. 
Directions for Planting Dormant Roses 
After the bed has been worked fine, each bush should be located 
and a hole dug large enough to accommodate the roots and deep 
enough that the crown, or bud, be one inch below the soil surface. 
After all the plants have been set, the bed is carefully and 
thoroughly watered. 
Watering is most important and the failure to do so properly is 
responsible for many failures with Roses. Remember the roots are 
twelve to eighteen inches below the soil surface, and it takes lots 
of water to soak the ground to that depth. 
We have found that in planting Dormant Roses, a protective 
covering over the canes for ten days to two weeks is very bene- 
ficial. The drying action of the sun and wind is thus prevented 
until the root action starts, when the covering is removed and 
full exposure to light and air is given. Burlap sacks, split, or 
canvas are good for this purpose or the soil may be hilled up 
around them. 
NOTE 
During March and up to April Ist we can supply Dormant 
Roses in all the sorts listed in this catalog. As it is impossible 
to get root action to start and make plants grow after the days 
get warm we do not offer dormant stock after date mentioned 
above. During the dormant season we pay postal charges on all 
Roses sold. After April 1st, when planted Roses only are supplied, 
the transportation charges must be paid by purchaser. 
YOU ARE INVITED to visit our Rose Gardens any time and 
help us enjoy the beautiful blooms produced from May till Noy- 
ember by the 150 varieties of Roses listed in this book. Come any
