ROSES 
While Roses have for ages been known as the “Queen of Flowers,” they are adaptable to the 
simplest garden. Make a real Rose-garden if you can, but if not, find room for at least a few climbers 
and Hybrid Teas. 
Any good garden soil with a half-day’s sunshine will grow Roses. Dig the hole large enough to 
hold the roots without crowding; set the bush so that the crown comes just at the soil surface. Pack 
the soil well around the roots and water copiously 
. As the season advances, keep the plants sprayed 
well with Tri-Ogen to ward off insects and diseases. 
The varieties we offer are the backbone of most Rose-gardens. That is, they are not the newest, 
but years of trial by growers all over the country have proved them to be reliable.
