HJORT’S “Shomasulle Koses 
. . « « 51 YEARS WITH ROSES 
HE GROWING of quality Rose plants has been a specialty with us at Thomasville since 
1898. From many hundreds of varieties we selected those found to be the best for the 
Southeast. We do not offer the endless list of varieties found in up-country catalogs, nor 
do we confine our selection to Hybrid Teas. To serve the fullest requirements of our customers, 
we offer the best in the Old-Fashioned Teas, the Hybrid Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals, Floribundas, 
Polyanthas, and Climbers, listing each class separately. 
We now have another fine crop of Roses, grown under ideal conditions. We are offering only 
top-quality plants, 2-yr. No. 1 grade. You will like these Roses, budded on stocks suited to the 
Southeast and guaranteed true to name. While we have more Roses than last season, we 
still do not have enough, and we urge ordering early. We exercise every care in digging 
properly, packing roots in moist sphagnum moss and wrapping well, so that the bushes will 
reach you safely. 
Roses thrive in most garden soils capable of growing flowering trees and shrubs. Dig holes 
at least 18 inches in depth and width, and use several shovelfuls of well-rotted cow manure; or 
if this is not available, use peat humus, or 50 per cent of each. Set the plants just deep enough 
not to cover the bud union, which means no deeper than they stood im the nursery. Pack 
well and water thoroughly. In the spring use a balanced commercial fertilizer. ‘The American 
Rose Society’s handbook, “What Every Rose-Grower Should Know” makes Rose growing easy 
by providing the answers to questions on planting and care when you need them. We recom- 
mend the use of this little reference book. 
Don’t miss the Thomasville Rose Show in April. Also, any day in April or May, the months 
our fields are open to visitors, come and see Roses at the Home of Roses. But right now we in- 
vite you to order Thomasville Roses for your own garden!
