MINIATURE ROSES 
Tiny Perfection 
Small flowers which are under one inch in diameter when fully open. They have a quality 
with which no other ordinary rose can compare. Bushes no higher than 12 inches are 
covered from June until fall with a profusion of tiny flowers. Though just as hardy as the 
average hybrid they grow well indoors as a pot plant. They are excellent for edging rose 
beds or for a choice spot in the rockery. The tiny flowers, when cut, can be used in cor- 
sages Or boutonnieres and make attractive small arrangements.

CULTURE 
OF ROSES... 
This may be, for some, the first planting of roses. There are some sugges- 
tions for planting and care which are worth following for healthy and lux- 
uriant blooming plants. 

DWARF ROSE, TOM THUMB 
(Patent No. 169, Conard-Pyle Co.) 
SUGGESTIONS FOR ORDERING 
Our rose prices are for 2-year-old, No. 1 bushes of selected 
quality, and include postage or express to you. C.O.D.s are not 
accepted. We guarantee our roses to be true to name and to 
arrive in good condition. In case of error in naming or arrival in 
poor condition, we will replace plants free of charge, but under 
no circumstances will we be liable for more than the original pur- 
chase price. We will not make substitution unless requested 
(please indicate yes or no in place provided on order blank) . Please 
use the enclosed order blank and send your order early while 
stocks are complete. Orders are entered as received against our 
field counts. Shipment is made as roses are dug and graded. Some 
varieties will be ready in late fall, others not until January. We 
will ship all orders as soon as stocks are complete, or if the larger 
portion is available early, we will back order the remaining roses. 
On arrival, a rose shipment should be promptly unpacked and roots plunged 
in deep water over night and then heeled solidly in moist earth. This restores 
the moisture lost in transit and holds the rose in good condition until planted. 
Of course, they should be planted permanently without delay. 
Choose a place which gets a maximum of sunshine and free, though not 
draughty, circulation of air. The rose bed should be well prepared; as roses 
root deeply. Rotted manure or peat and fertilizer should be incorporated in tne 
soil of the bed. Keep the roots in water or covered with damp burlap while 
planting. Dig large enough holes to take the roots without crowding. The 
roots should be shortened by pruning and broken or frayed ends cut clean. 
Work loose soil around all roots, firming it well. When hole is nearly full soak 
well, and when settled add soil to fill. The tops should be thinned by pruning 
to three or four canes and shortened to some extent. 
Rose bushes should be fed liberally. Mulch in the fall or early spring and 
give a good handful of commercial fertilizer every six to eight weeks during 
the growing season. A regular spraying or dusting with a good combination 
of fungicide and insecticide will keep them free of disease and insects. 
Watering should be done frequently, preferably by flooding, though a good 
sprinkling occasionally will keep the foliage clean.
