CONIFERS AND BROADLEAF EVERGREENS 
The list of Ornamental Evergreens we offer is quite com- 
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 mow 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- 
leaf Ligustrum. These should be planted around the house 
as foundation planting. Arizona Cypress is the best all 
around evergreen to plant on the lawn as specimen, or for

ROSE BUSHES 
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 late winter. 
(Well decayed cowlot fertilizer is best.) 
(8) Keep roses well watered, not sprinkled.
