Europe and America. There are several new Hybrid Tea Roses only recently made available by world 
renowned hybridizers such as Hill, Howard & Smith, Armstrong, and others. Last but not least is

Rose Soil Expert 
For many years we have been hearing of the work of Harry L. Daunoy, 
and of the splendid results he has been obtaining with Roses. Mr. Daunoy 
is a Rose Soil Expert and rapidly gaining a national reputation. 
If your Roses are not flowering as freely as they should, or if they do 
not have a healthy foliage and luxuriant growth, we suggest you give 
Mr. Daunoy a trial. 
Rese trouble is frequently due to a faulty soil condition or to some minor 
correction or adjustment in fertilizing. 
We are always happy to assist our customers in any way.and have made 
an arrangement with Mr. Daunoy to make his services available to our 
Rose growers. Instead of his usual charge of $4.00 for each soil test and 
report, if you will tell him you are a WAYSIDE GARDENS customer, his 
report and recommendation will cost you only $3.00. 
You may confidently expect the finest results if you will follow his rec- 
ommendations. Those who have done so have obtained a greater number 
of blooms of finer quality, along with less losses in their plants due to 
unfavorable soil conditions. 
Take soil samples as follows: 
Mix and work the soil in five scattered places in the flower bed to the 
depth of a trowel, mixing the soil thoroughly in each worked spot. Take 
two tablespoons of soil from each such place and put into a clean ice 
cream box or similar container. Wrap in strong paper and send by parcel 
post. Be sure that all tools and containers are clean and free of fertilizers 
and chemicals which may contaminate the sample. 
SEND THESE SAMPLES DIRECT TO: Mr. Harry L. Daunoy, 26 Farnham 
Place, Metairie, New Orleans 20, Louisiana. 
Do not send them to WAYSIDE GARDENS, as we are not equipped to 
make such tests here.
