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 is nearly 
full of earth, pour m a bucket of water. As soon as 
this drains away, finish filling 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 winter 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. 
This year we are not sending out any orders C. O. D. The reason is that 
the increased charges for C. O. D. shipments add too much to the cost of the 
plants (at least 36c). Please do not ask for C. O. D. shipments. 

e The Vestal Guarantee e 
We guarantee to the full amount of the purchase price, the purity and quality of all 
Vestal Seeds, Bulbs, Roots, and Plants ordered from this catalogue; and we also guar- 
antee to the full amount of the purchase price, the safe delivery of everything you order. 
We do not guarantee continued growth. At our prices it is impossible for us to guar- 
antee growth or to be responsible for stock after delivery to our customers in good con- 
dition. So many factors over which we have no control govern the life and growth of 
plants, after they leave our custody, that we do not feel that we should be held responsible 
for their growth.
