PLANT WYANT ROSES 
It may sound as if the diseases and insects are very 
troublesome and numerous on Roses but you will be sur- 
prised how easily your bushes can be kept healthy by 
following our recommendations. 
Wyant Roses are kept healthy in the nursery, so are full 
of life and vitality. They are the best that can be raised. 
They are called 2 years old but in order to give them the 
highest quality possible they are grown a full year longer 
in our nursery than in some others. Wyant Roses have 
three-year-old roots and strong tops. You should see their 
fine roots. What difference does it make to have a 2-year 
root or a 3-year root? Just this—there is almost no loss 
from transplanting one of Wyant Roses. They start easily 
and produce an average of 40 to 50 blossoms per bush a 
year. Wyant Roses are full of life and vigor. 
After you have had Wyant Roses you will never be satis- 
fied with something less good. You will find that Roses are 
not just Roses but there is a difference in them. Wyant 
Blue Blood Roses give the growth and blooms that you 
expect; they produce satisfaction.
