CULTURE 
Please read before planting. 
1. Always dig holes large enough to ac-: 
commodate the roots without crowd- 
ing. Set the bud or graft 1 or 2 inches 
below the surface and use good top 
soil but no fresh fertilizer around the 
roots. Press the soil firm and water 
copiously. 
2. NEVER NEGLECT PRUNING the 
branches down to 6-8 inches. Then 
cover the remaining branches with a 
mound of soil and keep moist. As the 
days grow warmer this should be 
raked away. 
3. Winter protection is very important 
for roses at our elevation. A mound 
of additional soil covered with leaves 
or strawy manure is fine. We suggest 
spring pruning over fall pruning. 
For rose-growing pleasure we recommend any of the 
following Hybrid Tea varieties — strong, field-grown, 
blooming size, 2 yr. No. 1 —
