Sub-Zero HYBRID TEA ROSES — 
A distinct strain of roses that unprotected, has been wintering through 
15 degrees below zero for years and if the earth is hilled up about six 
inches around the plant, these roses have withstood 50 degrees below 
zero! Hilling up the earth about six inches before snow flies, is the 
only protection necessary plus tying about 5 layers of newspapers 
around the tops of the plants, for the coldest parts of the U. S. 
Plant these sub-zero roses so the graft joint is 3 inches below bed 
level, preferably in full sunshine. Half fill the hole with soil, add one 
half pail water, and fill in balance of soil, then hill up plant with clean 
loose dirt, to be removed in 10 days. And if your winters are not colder 

than fifteen below, they need no further care. 
All sub-zero roses, $1.85 each; 3 for $5.25, postpaid. 
Special—One each of 10 varieties (not incl. Golden Glow), $16.85 
postpaid.
