Watering is most important and the failure to do so properly is responsible for 
many failures with Roses. Remember the roots are twelve to eighteen inches below 
the soil surface, and it takes lots of water to soak the ground to that depth. 
| We have found that in planting Dormant Roses, a protective covering over the 
canes for 10 days to 2 weeks is very beneficial. The drying action of the sun and wind 
is thus prevented until the root action starts, when the covering is removed, and full 
exposure to light and air is given. Burlap sacks, split, or canvas are good for this 
purpose, or the soil may be hilled up around them. 

OUR ROSE-GARDEN WHERE YOU CAN SELECT YOUR PLANTS 
ROSES—HYBRID TEA 
There are thousands of varieties of them including all that can be desired in form, 
color and fragrance. There is not a single purpose demanded of the rose which the 
Hybrid Tea cannot fill. They are equally at home in the informal border or the beds 
of a formal garden, and wherever they are one receives a full season of exhibition sized 
blooms. The Hybrid Tea is certain!y unsurpassed as a cut flower for house decoration 
or for the buttonhole. 
The varieties we offer have been carefully chosen as those best representing the 
Hybrid Tea Roses, and most adaptable to our weather conditions. 
All Roses in this list, $1.25 euch for potted plants, $1.10 each for dormant plants, 
except where priced otherwise.
