EASY TO PLANT “OUT-OF-SEASON” 
It is now possible to plant almost every item in this 
catalog the year around. By planting our surplus sup- 
ply of bare root stock in containers when the dormant 
season is ended (about April Ist) we can supply strong 
“Roeding’s Quality” plants and trees to set out in sum- 
mer and fall. 
There are certain advantages to summer planting. The 
weather is more agreeable for gardening and the soil 
is warmer; plants ‘‘take hold’’ quicker; you can select 
by foliage and by flower (important with roses if you 
like to buy them in bloom). The only disadvantage is 
that we may exhaust our supply of varieties in great 
demand during the bare root season. Types of plants 
grown in containers for summer planting heretofore 
available only in the dormant season are: 
Roses 
Fruit trees 
Berry plants 
Grapevines 
Deciduous flowering trees 
Deciduous flowering shrubs 
Deciduous shade trees 

Prices are slightly higher for plants in containers than 
for bare root stock. Of course we always have for year- 
around planting nursery stock that is dug with a ball 
of soil on the roots, or grown in 5-gallon or 1-gallon 
containers, such as Evergreen Trees and Shrubs, 
Vines, Citrus Trees and Standard Roses.

SIX GOOD RULES FOR 
PEST CONTROL 
. Identify the insect or disease attacking the 
plant. Your county agricultural commissioner 
or farm adviser can help you. If more con- 
venient, write to us giving details and en- 
closing affected portion of plant. 
. Select the remedy from the information given 
on this page. 
. Use the manufacturer’s instructions shown 
on the container. 
. Follow up! One treatment will not suffice in 
most cases. 
. Don't let the bug or disease “get ahead” of 
you. Take immediate action and follow up 
until exterminated. 
. Spray or dust thoroughly. Be sure that all 
portions of the plant subject to injury are con- 
tacted. 
KEEP THESE ON HAND 
A simple spray kit may be assembled by pur- 
chasing a bottle of oil emulsion (Volck), a bottle 
of contact insecticide (Blackleaf '’40"’ or Extrax), 
a bottle of fungicide (Bordelo or Greenol), a 
package of good all-purpose dust, a package of 
lead arsenate and an ant-control kit (Fresnol). 
A 2%2-3 gallon tank sprayer completes the 
equipment. Other materials may be purchased 
as the specific need requires.
