Paramount ROSES e¢« e« -« 
EGULAR and thorough spraying is an important factor in growing good Para- 
R mount Roses. The above sprayer has a tank capacity of 300 gallons, pumps to 
500 pounds pressure and carries 32 nozzles, spraying eight rows each trip, with four 
nozzles to each row. The variety being sprayed above is Mrs. P. 8S. du Pont. 
We use Bordeaux Mixture for control of black-spot and mildew, adding arsenate of 
lead for the Japanese beetles, and Black-Leaf 40 for aphis, etc. Home gardeners much 
prefer Tri-Ogen, which gives full protection against all insect pests and fungous diseases, 
and does not discolor the foliage like Bordeaux Mixture. 
Roses are scarce all over the United States this year. Due to the shortage of labor 
and the very unfavorable weather last spring, all commercial Rose-growers were forced 
to reduce their plantings considerably. In fact, barely 40 per cent of normal harvest 
is expected this fall. 
As a consequence of our reduced plantings, we were forced to eliminate many varie- 
ties previously grown. However, our list still gives a wide selection in both color and 
popularity, as we retained only the best and most satisfactory kinds. 
We urge you to place your orders early, wherever you choose to purchase. Preferably 
plant this autumn and avoid the disappointment that is bound to befall latecomers 
next spring. 
# * - Proper planting-time in the fall is from November 1 
W HEN ro PLANT until freezing weather; in the spring, from early March, 
when the ground opens up, until April 30. Order early 
R O S K S to insure your desired selection, and plant early each 
season for real Rose success.
