Gardenias 
(Gardenia veitchii.) Long considered a hothouse flower, and rare; 
now you can grow your own beautiful ones, and have them all win- 
ter long. We supply them out of 2! or 3-inch pots; you then grow 
them outside in a sunken flower pot. In the fall you bring them in, 
pot and all, set them in a sunny window, and that’s where they do 
most of their blooming. You get the benefit of their amazing fra- 
grance and delicate beauty all winter. You can leave them on the 
plant, or make your own envy-provoking corsages.

HOW TO GROW THEM 
LS 
Sandy loam is O. K. ‘The only soil that 
you might have difficulty with is the real light, 
loose, open sandy soil. And, only a few flow- 
ers will really thrive in such soil, so really 
it can be said that Roses will thrive most 
anywhere other flowers will thrive. 
Fertilizing Roses 
Wt have just mentioned that heavy soils 
should be loosened by mixing with 
well-rotted manures, for Roses. That is really 
one good way to fertilize them, but just be 
sure that the manures are well-rotted, and 
stick to the stable manure or cow manure. 
There are also very good, specially pre- 
pared fertilizers for Roses on the market, 
and directions always accompany the pack- 
age. You can undoubtedly buy such manures 
locally, Roses being one of the very most 
popular flowers. 
Commercial fertilizers are best applied 
after planting, keeping well away from the 
plant. Then water in well. Bone meal would 
be good the first year, since you would not 
expect many blooms until later in the sum- 
mer, when bone meal would be available. 
How to Plant Roses 
HESE instructions you should heed care- 
fully, because a Rose wrongly planted is 
off to a poor start. Rightly planted, it has 
every chance for success. Planting is very im- 
portant with Roses, but correct planting is 
easy. All you need to do is to take care. 







—— 
A ROSE PROPERLY PLANTED. Note 
particularly that the roots are well spread, 
and a sufficient area of soil has been 
prepared. 

First, you should prepare your hole large 
enough for the Rose plant. And, we mean 
large enough! Those roots must have room. 
They must not be crowded, or bent, and, the 
Roses should be planted the proper depth.
