firmly around the roots of any kind of plant. This is done to force 
the air-space out of the soil around the roots. After this, watering 
to soak the soil thoroughly is all that Is necessary.

To be held this year, Sunday, June 5 
On June 5, when the Roses are in full bloom, our large display gardens will be formally opened to the public at our 
Annual Rose Festival. This has become an outstanding event for flower lov 

of Indianapolis and the Middle West. Last 
year the Rose Festival was attended by over 8000 people, all of whom enjoyed the glorious bloom of thousands of Roses 
and other plants at their magnificent best. This year we have more than doubled the number of Roses in our gardens. In- 
cluded are most of the newest Roses available, among which, we are happy to say, are practically all of the All-America 
winners for the last two or three years. We hope to have a bigger and better Rose Festival than ever.
