TOP-NOTCH ROSES for Your Garden 
Here is the pick of the crop in new Rose varieties. Of course, we are 
anxious that you should have Roses of superior quality, form, color and 
fragrance, so we have carefully selected varieties offered on these pages. 
The Rose, Queen of Flowers, now more than ever gives us new Inspiration 
and a desire for beauty at a time when confusion reigns everywhere. Our 
suggestion is plant more Roses. 
Growing Roses need offer no problems if you prepare the soil well in 
advance of planting. Dig to a depth of 18 inches and incorporate well- 
decomposed stable manure with the soil or use some complete fertilizer. 
Prepare the bed and allow it to settle for several weeks before planting. 
» You will find the plants which we send you unusually vigorous with 
well-developed roots. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate these 
roots without crowding. The plants should be set deep enough that 
the bud is just beneath the surface of the bed. Fill the hole with well- 
prepared soil and firm it thoroughly with your feet. Before the ground 
freezes in the fall, hill the soil up around each plant to a height of 8 mches. 
This bit of extra caution will help to carry your Roses over in good condi- 
tion. Spring-planted Roses need the same treatment of hilling up the soil 
until new growth starts. This caution protects the plants from undue 
exposure to wind. 
Just a word of advice—spray or dust regularly to keep your Roses in 
healthy condition. This extra effort will more than repay you with an 
abundance of bloom and sweet fragrance.
