WYANT ROSES are of the high- 
est quality and are all three-year, 
field-grown budded bushes. Hav- 
ing been raised in the severe climate 
of Northern Ohio by Rose Special- 
ists, they will produce satisfaction 
in your garden if given a chance. 
Fall-Planted Roses Are Best 
Leading rosarians now agree that fall is the ideal 
time to plant Roses. Wintering in the ground is 
Nature’s way and results in earlier and larger 
blooms and more of them. Then, too, the soil is 
more mellow and easier to work. You can prepare 
it when convenient and let lay till plants arrive. 
Poor soil can be greatly improved by adding up 
to 50% peat or humus. Roses like good soil. Our 
Roses are dug when the season’s growth has been 
completed and they are shipped to you at the 
proper time—October or November. 


PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Keep the roots moist all the time be- G1 eg) 
fore planting. " 
Spread out the roots so they do not 
crowd; cover them with good soil and 
firm the earth about them, eliminating 
all air pockets. 
Plant 15 to 16 inches apart, where 
there is sunshine at least half a day. 

Roses banked with earth 
immediately after 
planting. 
Mound soil 8 to 10 inches immedi- 
ately after planting, to keep the mois- 
ture in the branches. 
PREVENT BLACK-SPOT NEXT YEAR 
SPRAY ROSE-BEDS THIS FALL 
Black-spot lives over winter on diseased leaves that fell to the ground 
this summer. Help prevent the spread of the disease next spring by dis- 
infecting the soil in and around the Rose-bed. Spray the plants, the ground 
and the surroundings with lime-sulphur at the rate of 1 pound to 4 gallons 
of water. Apply it with a sprayer or a svrinkling can the last thing in the 
fall. At that time remove any leaves still remaining on the plant by strip- 
ping them off or pruning down to 15 or 20 inches, thereby cutting them off. 
It is well to repeat this lime-sulphur treatment the first thing in the 
spring before the new leaves come out.
