VESTAL’S ARKANSAS ROSES 
This has been a good year in the Vestal Rose fields and we have ready 
for you a crop of Rose plants of which we are justly proud. They are husky, 
healthy plants with splendid roots and will transplant with ability to go 
right to work. 
Every variety we offer has made good here and there are a reasonable 
number of the new ones together with those which have satisfied our 
customers for years. 
Vestal Roses are real bargains at the reasonable prices we ask. 
When im or near Little Rock stop in and visit. We grow a lot of many 
things and shall be pleased to show you around. 
Here are some instructions which may help you to grow extra-fine Roses 
Any good garden soil will grow good Roses. In 
planting a dormant Rose, dig a hole wide enough so 
that the roots can be spread out without bending 
and deep enough so the crown will be just barely 
covered when the bed Is finally leveled off. 
Set the plant and pack clean earth tightly around 
the roots, tamping solidly; when the hole ts nearly 
full of earth, pour in a bucket of water. As soon as 
this drains away, finish fillmg up the hole and hill 
up to the top of the canes with clean earth, peat 
moss, or sand—anything to protect the canes from 
sun and wind until the plant can form new roots, 
which will not be for two to three weeks. If you live 
where the ground freezes and are planting in the fall, 
leave the hills for wmter protection, removing as 
soon as frosts are over in the spring. Keep Roses 
well watered, especially the first few weeks; and keep 
them well fed—they will repay you generously. 
Where winter protection Is necessary, the most satis- 
factory method is a simple hilling up with clean earth.
