Paramount ROSES e« « -« 
E ARE still growing Roses, handicapped, like everyone else, by the shortage of labor and 
necessary materials. 
As you will note from the above picture, we have gone in for steer-feeding, mainly to 
produce meat, but also to obtain manure to improve the quality of our plants. If you can secure 
cattle manure each fall and place it around your Roses, after hilling up, you will vastly improve 
your garden. 
Considerable loss of plants was suffered after the winter of 1942-43. This was due mainly 
to the severe freezing after much rain, many plants actually heaving out of the soil. But we 
learned, too, that many persons did not have time to protect their bushes properly, and some 
even neglected them entirely. It does not pay to neglect your Roses or to be careless with them 
at any time during the year, as one little slip may wipe out your whole garden. 
We hope that our Roses continue to give satisfaction, especially during these trying times, 
and that they may help bring pleasure and 
that peace of soul that we all search for. 
May they he!p herald the dawn of Peace that 
the world prays for. 







WHEN TO PLANT ROSES 
Proper planting-time in the fall is 
from November 1 until freezing weather; 
in the spring, from early March, when 
the ground opens up, until April 30. 
Order early to insure your desired se- 
lection, and plant early each season for 
real Rose success. 
“Many are the hearls that are weary tonight, 
Wishing for the war to cease, 
Many are the hearts that are looking for 
the right, 
To see the dawn of Peace.’—KirrREDGE. 
Some day we hope that Peace, like the 
beloved Rose, will burst forth in all its 
glory and a better world will open before us.
