ROSES The South’s Most Beautiful Flowers 
GARDEN of Roses will give you more real joy than any other flowers you can 
grow. That’s a broad statement, but you just ask anyone who has grown Roses 
and given them the little care they need—for you can’t expect them to do well 
if you stick them in the ground and forget them. They must be fed, given a good 
deep drink of water in dry weather, the soil kept loose, and sprayed or dusted to control 
insects and leaf-diseases. Your reward will be blooms from early spring to late November. 
Any plant-food that is not too caustic is all right, as rotted fot or stable manure, 
cotton-seed meal, dried blood and tankage; fertilizers can be had from fertilizer dealers 
anywhere. 
In planting 2-year field-grown Roses, they should be cut back at least half their 
length; Iater on pruning may be done, if desired to keep in shape, but It is not a necessity. 
Our plants are 2 years old and have bloomed all summer in the nursery; some varieties 
are not as vigorous growers as others, but in all such cases they compensate with wonderful 
blooms; in fact, some of the finest Roses are not strong growers. 
The varieties we offer are the best we can find, taking all qualities to consideration 
—growth, habit, flowers, etc., and they will please where given attention.
