HYBRID PERPETUAL 
ROSES 
Hybrid Perpetuals or ‘‘June bloomers” generally 
burst forth into a marvelous display of bloom in 
June. Many will bloom again later in the season. 
Their flowers on the whole are more richly fragrant 
than any other class and are of very large size. The 
plants are too large to fit in a Rose-bed of Hybrid 
Teas but are more foolproof and long-lived. Plant 
them in the background and in shrub borders. Many 
of the strongest growers can be trained as pillars, 
and as such are very effective.

TREE ROSES 
When Tree Roses are planted at appropriate 
spots in your garden they give it an accent and at- 
mosphere of distinction. Their strong, 314-foot 
stems and good big tops, which seem to bloom more 
and better than the bush Roses, make a great sight 
throughout the season. 
For Winter protection their roots should be 
loosened on one side so they can be laid down and 
the roots, stem, and top completely covered over 
with soil. 
In planting, wrap the stem and branches with 
burlap or moss and keep it moist. After the plant is 
growing, remove the protection gradually. 
Except where noted, $5.00 each. No further

Remove Winter Protection Early 
Enough to Use 
LIME-SULPHUR 
A thorough spraying of the soil in the early Spring 
before the leaves appear, with about 1 pound of 
Lime-Sulphur to 4 gallons of water, helps greatly 
to prevent spread of the disease spores and makes 
the prevention of black-spot easier. Spray the dor- 
mant plants, soil and even the grass paths sur- 
rounding the bed. First, thoroughly clean up all 
rubbish and old leaves. The spraying should be 
done when the temperature is above 40°. One pound 
is sufficient for about 50 Roses.

CLIMBING ROSES 
The Climbing Roses offered here are the best of 
their class. Very few of the old Ramblers are now 
planted; the demand is alrnost entirely for the newer 
Climbers which have disejse-resistant foliage, large 
nitable for cutting. They 
are not as rampant growers as the old-fashioned 
Ramblers but a carefully trained plant is a real 
spectacle when in full bldom. Do not prune more 
than enough to keep the plant within bounds; cut 
out the dead and oldest s}ems down to the ground. 
Prune soon after the big June bloom.

great clusters of medium-sized pink flowers having 
white centers and tufts pf yellow stamens. A late

WYANT DUSTS 
ALL-IN-ONE 
Highly Efficient and Economical 
Wyant dusts which control all the important 
pests without further aids are a wonderful time- 
saver for all gardeners. They control pests without 
harming the foliage. The sulphur in ordinary dusts 
burns Rose foliage badly in hot weather, while the 
sulphur in the Wyant Dusts is a Bentonite sulphur, 
especially compounded so as to make it much less 
likely to burn under trying conditions. They are 
easily and quickly used as a dry dust in a dust gun. 
Wyant Dusts contains 34% Rotenone and 61% 
sulphur. This makes a dust that can be relied upon 
to produce satisfaction for most pests on Roses and 
other flowers and vegetables if it is used efficiently 
and at the proper time. It is best dusted onto the 
the plants in the evening when the air is calm, before 
the dew comes and at frequent intervals, generally 
about once a week. Wyant Dusts do not deteriorate, 
cake or harden.

WYANT ROSE DUST WITH 
FERMATE 
Black-spot disease is the most serious pest of 
Roses. It takes conscientious effort to get rid of the 
disease after it has once got into a garden. New ma- 
terials are continually being tried, and up to the 
present it seems that Fermate mixed with a good 
sulphur is the best preventive of the disease. This 
combination will also prevent mildew, another lesser 
disease of Roses. The rotenone that is added to 
this combination makes a very efficient compound, 
for it kills most Rose insects as well as prevents the 
disease. 4 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $4.70, postpaid. 
WYANT ROSE DUST WITH DDT 
AND FERMATE 
There are instances when greater insect killing 
power is desired than that obtained from rotenone. 
Rose chafers, Japanese beetles, midge, ete., can be 
controlled by the use of DDT. Therefore, this ma- 
terial is valuable for use against chewing and suck- 
ing insects and against plant diseases. 4 lbs. $2.30; 
10 Ibs. $5.35, postpaid. 
WYANT ROSE DUST 
The most economical and effective all-in-one dust. 
Should be used on all garden flowers and vegetables 
that are attacked by either diseases or insects, as 
well as on Roses. 4 lbs. $1.70; 10 lbs. $4.00; 25 Ibs.

PARATHION DUST 
It is expected that the government will approve 
this dust in plenty of time so that it will be available 
this Spring. It is a mixture of an especially fine 
Britonite-sulphur and 1% Thiophos. This new in- 
secticide controls all insects much more effectively 
than anything previously used. Try it especially if 
you have had red spider, Japanese beetles or any 
other insects that have been troublesome. 4 lbs.

SHRUB ROSES 
These Roses should not be set in beds with Hy- 
brid Teas. They are valuable in masses, hedges, 
shrub borders, or as specimens on account of their 
profusion of bloom, their hardiness, healthiness and 
ability to thrive under adverse conditions. 
Agnes. Large, very double, yellow flowers, early in 
the Spring; deliciously fragrant. An upright 
grower 5 to 6 feet tall; extremely hardy. $1.25. 
F. J. Grootendorst. In bloom from early Spring 
until late Fall. Large clusters of fringed carnation- 
like red flowers. Upright. 3 to 4 feet tall. $1.25. 
Harison’s Yellow. One of the lovely old-fashioned 
shrub Roses. Double deep yellow flowers. The 
fact that this Rose was originated in 1830 and is 
still popular proves its unusual value. 6 ft. $1.25. 

Hugonis (The Golden Rose of China). The 
bright yellow flowers, about 2 inches across, ap- 
pear the earliest of any Rose in the Spring. It 
grows about 6 feet high, and its branches covered 
with blooms arch gracefully. One of the finest of 
all shrubs for specimen planting. $1.25. 
Mabelle Stearns. Sce list of Hybrid Teas. $2.00. 
Pink Grootendorst. Same as F. J. Grootendorst 
except that it is soft pink. $1.25. 
York and Lancaster. An ancient variety that is 
quite different. It is said to have originated soon 
after the end of the Wars of the Roses. In the 
Spring it produces large, semi-double, white 
blossoms which are streaked and striped with 
red. Grows 2 to 214 feet high. $1.25. 
IMPORTANT CULTURAL HINTS 
Please cooperate by reading and following the simple planting directions accompanying each order, 
even if you have planted Roses before. 
Selection of Location 
In selecting the location for your Rose-bed, it is not im- 
portant whether your plants are to get morning or afternoon 
sunlight, but that they do get at least a half day of sun. Part 
shade is even preferable to a full day of sunlight in an estab- 
lished bed. 
Tree Roots 
Select a location where tree roots cannot interfere with 
your Rose roots, It is surprising how quickly tree roots will 
find a Rose-bed and fill it, consuming food and moisture 
intended for the plants. If tree roots are present, dig a 
trench around the bed as deep as the tree roots extend, 
thereby cutting off all that might attempt to enter the bed. 
This trench may be filled in again immediately, and should 
be dug around the Rose-bed every year if the tree roots 
prove bothersome. 
Plant Early 
The best time in the Spring to plant Wyant Roses is just 
as soon as the soil is workable. The larger part of the gar- 
dening public wait until the warm. sunshiny days of Spring 
to start their planting. Thi: too late to get best results. 
ideal time, and planting 
e results you anticipate. Fall 
er than Spring planting, but if 
ing there is no use losing a whole 






as late as May 
planting is ust 


lly evi 
you can plant in early 
season of enjoyment by waiting until Fall, for early Spring- 
planted Hybrid Teas start to bloom in June of the same year. 
Soils 
It is best to keep away from either extremely heavy or 
extremely light soil; loam soils will have more food in them. 
Heavy soils can be improved and made lighter by the ad- 
dition of peat or humus and agricultural slag. Peat or 
humus will also improve light soils and enable them to re- 
tain more moisture. The best soil you can get is the best 
soil for Roses. 
The pH of Soils 
The acidity and alkalinity of soils is designated by pH. 
It has been found that Roses are very tolerant. They will 
grow in a soil from 4.5 pH up to 8 pH, but the best growing 
conditions seem to be found in a soil that is neutral or 
slightly acid—that is, around 6 to 7 pH. Lime in almost 
any form can be used to make soils more alkaline, and 
sulphur to make them more acid. 
Planting 
If you want successful Roses, plant the bushes close to- 
gether, so that the foliage will keep the ground shaded and 
cool—12 to 15 inches is the rule for the Hybrid Teas, the 
taller varieties being placed for the best effect. 
Instead of waiting until the bushes arrive, it is better 
to spade the soil 15 to 18 inches deep several weeks in ad- 
vance adding plenty of peat or humus. And if drainage 
is needed, the bed should be tiled and surplus water carried 
away. Guard against the roots drying out from exposure 
to sun, wind or freezing during planting. Do not use 
chemical fertilizer when planting Wyant Roses; only bone- 
meal and rotted manure or peat may be used at planting 
time. Whether planting in Spring or Fall, mound soil high 
around the branches immediately after planting to help 
prevent the stems from withering during the time before 
the roots become established. 
Feeding 
In the Spring, when the bank of soil is removed, apply 
Wyant Rose Tood, or else a complete chemical fertilizer, 
to the established plants but not to newly set Roses. 
Wyant Rose Food is recommended, because it is of organic 
composition rather than chemical, and even after long 
usage does not make the soil toxic, nor burn, as a chemical 
fertilizer will. Proper fertilizing will produce much bloom, 
so during June or early July make another application to 
new as well as to established Roses, and then again in the 
latter part of August, but not after September 1, Hach 
time, apply about a handful to medium strong bushes, less 
to weaker, and more to stronger plants. 

Rose Sprrialist, Jur. MENTOR, OHIO 

Watering 
If the soil around your Roses is kept cultivated, it will 
seldom be in need of watering. However, during an ex- 
tended drought, soak the ground thoroughly for hours and 
then do not repeat for a week. Stop all watering and cul- 
tivating about the first of September. 
An application of peat put on in May and left the rest of 
the season helps to retain moisture and keeps the soil cooler 
and in better condition for Rose growing. It may also help 
in disease control. 
Pruning 
When a Rose is set out in the Spring, shorten the strong 
branches to 6 to 8 inches, and the weaker even more. Heap 
the soil as high as the branches are pruned, to protect 
against drying out, until the roots become established. Re- 
move this bank of soil when the shoots start, so that the 
bud or crown is about level with the soil surface. 
The only Fall pruning recommended is shortening tall 
bushes down to about 2 feet, so that they will not wind- 
whip. The real pruning for established bushes is given in 
the Spring when the bank of soil is removed. At this time 
remove dead wood from the Hybrid Teas and cut the strong 
branches down to the highest big live bud. Shorten or re- 
move weak growth, After the big June bloom, if there is 
a lot of small twiggy growth on the top of the plant, it is 
well to cut it off, down to some good strong growth and 
just above some well-developed eye. 
The weak branches of Polyanthas should be cut down 
and the strong ones shortened one-half. Hybrid Perpetuals 
can be shortened about one-third and from Climbers the 
dead wood should be removed. In July, after the first big 
burst of bloom is over, you may prune Climbers, but prun- 
ng is not recommended unless the plant is too large for 
the trellis, 

Suckers 
Suckers are the wild shoots that occasionally spring up 
from below the bud, They can be distinguished from 
flowering shoots by the small, heavily veined leaves and 
often by the thorns on the stems, being entirely different 
from those on the blooming stems. Do not call every stem 
with seven leaflets wild, as many of the flowering stems also 
have seven leaflets. A sucker only comes from below the 
bud. As soon as a sucker is discovered, cut it off clean from 
the main plant below the ground, where it originates, 
without leaving the stub which would send up more shoots. 
Disease and Insect Control 
A little attention and care will remedy the few diseases 
and insects that attack Rose plants. Dusting is preferable 
to spraying, for it is easier and quicker. 
Spray or dust aphids, the small green lice that appear 
about the tips of the shoots, with insecticides containing 
nicotine or rotenone. Spray or dust worms and insects that. 
eat leaves, with rotenone or with a poison. Both above pests 
can be controlled with Wyant Rose Dust. 
Knock Rose chafers, the large grayish bugs with long 
legs and snouts, into a pan of water covered with coal-oil. 
Place a drop of shellac or thick white lead on all cut ends 
in the Spring, when pruning is done, to keep out the car- 
penter bee, which makes a hole in the exposed pith. 
Prevent black-spot and mildew by dusting with any of 
Wyant’s Dusts, beginning as soon as the leaves come out 
and continuing about every week, and more often in rainy 
weather. Apply a light, even coat with a gun on a calm 
evening before the dew, if possible, thereby protecting the 
foliage so that it will be retained until frost. 
Winter Protection 
The time-honored method of Winter protection is putting 
a bank of soil around the branches of Hybrid Teas in the 
late Vall before severe freezing occurs. However, Summer 
protection against diseases is more important in keeping a 
Rose alive. If a plant goes into Winter in a good hardened 
condition haying retained its folinge until freezing, it will 
live through the Winter in fine shape even without abundant 
covering. Therefore, keep your Roses healthy in the Sum- 
mer and forget your Winter protection,

SOIL-SOAKER CANVAS. 
HOSE 
The Perfect Way to Water Roses, Lawns, 
Gardens 
This new hose-like waterer of special porous can- 
vas screws to the water hose, replacing nozzle or 
sprinkler. The far end is closed. Under normal pres- 
sure, water seeps through every pore the entire 
length and soaks directly into the soil. Easily moved 
without shutting off water or getting wet. 
The Soil-Soaker enables you to put the water 
where you want it, even in the strongest wind, and 
although it provides about 22 
per cent more water than sprink- 
lers, it saves an estimated 25 per 
cent because tnere is no waste. 


An efficient, economical Dust Gun is one of the 
essential tools for Rose-growing. One which we 
highly recommend holds about 1 quart of dust, has 
a 24-inch extension with a curved nozzle, and is so 
well constructed that it should last you as long as 
you raise Roses. It shoots the dust in a cloud onto 
the undersides of the leaves and spreads evenly and 
economically on all leaf surfaces. It operates so 
easily that children love to work it. Any of our dusts 
may be left in the Gun without harm. 1-quart Gun, 
$1.95 each, postpaid. 
For gardens of 75 or more Roses I recommend our 
2-quart Gun, 48 inches long overall, which even 
though much larger, is very easy to operate. $3.90 
each, postpaid, 
If you have become disgusted with other Dust 
Guns, try one of the above. You will like it. 
WYANT ROSE FOOD 
A High-Quality Fertilizer 
The organic fertilizers composing Wyant Rose 
Food last longer and are less dangerous than the 
comraonly used chemical fertilizers. We tried dif- 
ferent fertilizers for several years on our Roses and 
fiaally decided that this food is better than anything 
else we have ever had. 
An Organic Food 
In contrast to chemical fertilizers, Wyant Rose 
Food is made up almost entirely of organic foods put 
together in such a way that they produce a perfect 
balanced food for Rose growth. The analysis is 
7-8-5 but that is not as important as the fact that 
this food makes stronger, healthier bushes which 
will produce more and better Roses, 
No Filler 
Wyant Rose Food contains no filler. Every par- 
ticle of it can be used by the plant to make brighter, 
bigger and better Roses. It is prepared primarily 
for Rose bushes but it can be used to advantage on 
other growing plants. Instructions for use with 
each package.
