Climbing 
ROSES 
The spectacular show produced by even 
one Climbing Rose makes this class espe- 
cially desirable for every home. If you 
have only a few feet of ground space you 
can have a Climber by supplying support 
for it to grow upon. Cimbers can be 
trained on fences, pillars, or against the 
side of a house or garage. We offer here 
the hardiest kinds, which will grow with 
little protection. By all means have a 
Climbing Rose in your garden; and if you 
have one we guarantee you will want more.

HOW TO PLANT ROSES 
Rose-beds should be prepared well in advance of the 
arrival of the plants. 
Roses require sun, at least half of the day. Protection 
from strong winds is also desirable. The beds should be 
placed where the soil is naturally well drained, or drainage 
should be provided. The soil should be good garden loam. 
If it is poor, remove the top 8 to 10 inches, spade up the 
bottom, mixing in some good manure, and replace the top 
portion with good top-soil, letting it settle well before planting. 
The Roses should be planted about 12 to 15 inches apart 
each way, varying the distance somewhat, depending on 
the vigor and spread of the varieties selected. 
All Roses should be planted as soon as received. But 
the bundles can usually be kept intact for a week, if kept 
in a cool, dark place. If delayed in planting for more than 
one week, remove the plants from the bundles, and hill 
them in carefully in a shady and moist place, until wanted. 
When planting in the fall, no pruning is necessary, but cut- 
ting back to 6 to 8 inches can do no harm. Immediately 
after planting, hill the soil around each plant for at least 
6 inches. 
In planting in the spring, trim the branches back to 4 to 5 
inches. If planting late in the spring, when it is warm, and 
it often is after the middle of April, hill the soil up slightly 
and keep the plants shaded from the sun for several weeks, 
and water well each day. 
Full planting directions are sent with each shipment, 
and one should read them carefully before proceeding 
with the job. 
The best spray for Roses is TRI-OGEN,a complete insect 
spray and fungicide. It stimulates plant-growth and is 
harmless to foliage or blooms. It is convenient, easy and 
pleasant to use and is triple acting. It can be purchased 
at most seed stores or in any garden department of general 
stores. If you cannot secure it locally, please write to us 
and we will secure it for you.
