big, ovoid bud in light pastel shades of buff, yellow and pale orange.

It certainly produces an enormous number of blooms, and the big 
plant has an abundance of big, dark green leaves. Plant Pat. App. for.

Culture 
Roses: Keep the roots moist until the plants are set 
Space plants 2 to 4 feet apart. Dig the holes large 
enough to permit spreading the roots in their natural 
position. Plant the Rose bush slightly deeper than 
it was originally, so that the bud will be just above 
ground level. Put only moist fertile soil about the 
roots and firm the soil with the hands and by wa- 
tering. 
Water Roses heavily when the soil approaches the 
dry stage and do not water again until the soil be- 
comes almost dry. Wet the soil to a depth of 12 
inches, or more, by turning a water hose into the 
Rose bed. Deep watering encourages a deep root 
system. Shallow watering restricts root development 
and is apt to result in injured roots during cultivation 
or baking during the hot summer. Do not water tops 
of Roses because wet tops encourage leaf spot. 
WHAT IS A No. I ROSE? 
A number one Rose has at least 3 canes over 18 
inches while growing in the field. It is free of disease 
and must have 8-inch roots. A dead Rose bush can 
grade out as a number one—so we say that it must 
be in perfect, living condition when it reaches the 
customer—must grow and bloom. Our bushes are 
JUMBO No. 1’s and will produce more and larger 
blossoms. 
Try this examination on the next Rose bushes you 
receive. Stick your thumb nail into the green bark 
of the Rose bush. If the bark pops, the plant is in 
good condition. Examine for swivel.
