CLIMBING HYBRID TEAS 
Not enough people realize that there . 
is such a thing as an Everblooming 
Climbing Hybrid Tea Rose. Except for 
their climbing habit, these roses are ex- 
actly like the bush hybrid teas. 
they are climbers, don’t expect too much 
Since 
flowering during their first growing sea- 
son. Our climate seems to suit them very 
nicely, but to give them a chance to be- 
come well established, protect them from 
Winter injury the first Winter. All of 
the climbing hybrid teas will do well here, 
so you have a wide selection to choose 
from. 
BUSH ROSES 
For new Hybrid Tea Bush Roses that 
are really decided improvements over the 
old, we highly recommend these: 
Golden Anniversary, Mme. Marie Cu- 
rie. New Yorker, Sutters 
Gold, Peace. 
Nocturne, 
FLORIBUNDAS 
Outstanding among the Floribundas 
are Goldilocks, Red Pinnochio, and Fash- 
Plant the Floribundas around the 
edge of your rose bed—ain beds of their 
10n. 
own or in perennial border. 
GOOD NEW WHITE CLIMBER 
We have had numerous requests for a 
large flowered white Climber that will 
de well in this area. We offer one that 
is very well qualified to fill this order— 
City of York. Opens to a delightful 
creamy white, and is one of the hardiest. 
SE 
WHEN TO PLANT... 
Concerning rain—plant before a rain (if you are a better weather prophet than 
the Weather Bureau) but never during or just after a rain. Wait until the soil 1s 
dry enough to crumble or fall freely from your hand after squeezing. If soil particles 
adhere to each other or form mud ball—tt is too wet. New roots cannot force their 
way into earth that has been caused to cake by planting when the soil is too wet. Never 
Jet the soil get hard and cracked around the plants.
