PLANT ROSES this Spring 
For Health, Happiness, Inspiration 
EVER has there been a time when Anjerica needed to get closer to Mother Earth than now. 
Other than vegetables and fruits you need that inspiration that only a Rose can give. From 
early June until frost their endless pageantry of color, fragrance and form, entrance the inmost 
recesses of our soul to give courage and perseverance to carry out that sacred task which is before us. 
Many Roses which succeed in the North and other parts of the country do not do so well in Ken- 
tucky. Almost every Rose listed has been tested on our grounds and proved satisfactory and dependable. 
We have discarded or do not carry many which will be described favorably in other lists. Why spend 
money and time on doubtful kinds when you can buy our proved Roses? If properly sprayed and 
cultivated during summer, protected over winter, you will find a planting of Roses one of the most 
satisfactory expenditures for your garden. 
There are more than 2000 Roses in general cultivation, and to list any large percentage of these 
: would be out of the question. The list which follows is the result of our tests and represents the “Cream ;
