PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Roses do best in sunny location. They will do well in most any 
good garden soil. As a fertilizer, when planting give generous ap- 
plication, about one pound, of Bonemeal placed in the bottom of 
the planting hole with some barnyard manure. This fertilizer is 
forked in thoroughly so that the enriched soil contains no pure fer- 
tilizer—all being well mixed. The planting hole should be dug at 
least one foot wider than the normal spread of roots. Be sure soil 
is packed carefully in and among the roots, after they have been 
spread in a natural manner—not crowded together. 
All roses are shipped ready to plant. No pruning is necessary. 
Blood meal on Pasadena Tournament and Red Sweetheart is rec- 
ommended to produce smaller and daintier buds.
