ROSES “The Queen of Flowers” 
Throughout many centuries the Rose has been rightly regarded as the “Queen of 
Flowers.” This feeling is entirely justified as, indeed, there is scarcely any other 
flowering plant which, in return for so little money and effort, can return such an 
abundance of beauty and charm over such a long season. 
CULTURE—We cannot go into the details of Rose culture here, but upon request 
by telephone, mail, or in person, we shall be pleased to furnish our many customers 
and friends with our “Rose Culture” pamphlet which thoroughly explains the method 
of planting our potted Roses, and how to prune and care for them in general. 
All of our Roses are strong, budded, two-year-old, field-grown plants. They are 
A No. 1 grade plants, the best grade available on the horticultural market today. Being 
field grown, the plants have developed in a natural way and are of far superior stranzth 
and vitality than stock which has been developed into full growth under glass. 
All Roses offered here have been tried and tested at. our nurseries before offer-. 
ing them to you. We have found them to be of excellent quality and completely satis- 
factory in every way. 
HILLSDALE PLANTED ROSES 
Already Planted and Started for You 
Undoubtedly the greatest innovation 
ever offered the rose buyer is the in- 
vention of the rose pot which enables us 
to offer our roses already growing and 
_ blooming. 
This new and modern way of selling 
roses eliminates all danger of the plants 
not starting after being re-planted in your 
garden, and insures the buyer of exactly 
the rose desired. 
These roses are growing in pots filled 
with a specially prepared soil and heavily 
fertilized to insure rapid and permanent 
growth and bloom. Hillsdale roses can be 
planted in your garden any time during 
the growing season, Spring, Summer or 
Fall, without showing even the slightest 
All Our Roses Are Planted in These Containers wilt to foilage, buds or blooms. 
and a Healthy Growing Condition 
DIRECTIONS FOR REPLANTING POTTED ROSES 
The re-planting of Hillsdale potted roses is very simple indeed. The pots are 
slit and carefully peeled off from the soil. The ball of soil is then set in the bed so 
that the soil level in the pots comes about one-half inch lower than the finished levei 
of the soil in the beds. Always press the soil firmly around the roots of any kind of 
plant. This is done to force the air-space out of the soil around the roots. After this 
a general watering to thoroughly soak the soil down to the bottom roots is all that is 
necessary. 
For those who can plant their roses early—we are offering dormant Plants at a 
reduced rate. These dormant plants are of the same grade and quality stock as 
our Potted Roses. They will grow and bloom as good if planted early. They should 
be all in the ground before April 15th After April 15th only our famous Potted Plants 
will be available. 
DIRECTIONS FOR REPLANTING DORMANT ROSES 
After the bed has been worked fine, each bush should be located and a hole dug 
large enough to accomodate the roots and deep enough that the crown, or bud, be one 
inch below the soil surface. After all the plants have been set, the bed is carefully and 
thoroughly watered.
