WYANT ROSES are all three- 
year, field-grown budded bushes of 
the highest quality. Having been 
raised in the severe climate of 
Northern Ohio by Rose Specialists, 
they will produce satisfaction in 
your garden if given a chance. 
Fall- Planted Roses are Gest 
Leading rosarians agree that fall is the ideal 
time to plant Roses. Wintering in the ground is 
Nature’s way and results in earlier and larger 
blooms and more of them. Our Roses are dug when 
the season’s growth has been completed and they 
are shipped to you at the proper time—October 
or November. At this time the soil is usually more 
mellow and easier to work. You can prepare it 
when convenient and let lay till plants arrive. Poor 
soil can be greatly improved by adding up’ ‘to 4 
peat or humus. Roses like good soil. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Keep the roots moist all the time be- 
fore planting. 
Spread out the roots so they do not 
crowd; cover them with good soil and 
firm the earth about them, eliminating 
all air pockets. 
Plant 15 to 18 inches apart, where 
there is sunshine at least half a day. 
Mound soil about 10 inches high 
immediately after planting, to keep the 
moisture in the branches 
SO/L LEVEL 
Roses banked with earth 
immediately after 
planting 
PREVENT BLACK-SPOT NEXT YEAR— 
SPRAY ROSE-BEDS THIS FALL 
Black-spot lives over winter on diseased leaves that fell to the ground 
this summer. Help prevent the spread of this disease next spring by dis- 
infecting the soil in and around the Rose-bed. Spray the plants, the ground 
and the surroundings with lime-sulphur at the rate of 1 pound to 4 gallons 
of water. Apply it with a sprayer or a sprinkling can the last thing in the 
fall. At that time remove any leaves still remaining on the plant by strip- 
ping them off or pruning down to 15 or 20 inches, thereby cutting them off. 
It is well to repeat this lime- sulphur treatment the first thing in the 
spring before the new leaves come out.
