HEART'S DESIRE 
(Pat. 501) 
One of the things that 
makes roses so popular all 
over the world is the fact 
that they are really very 
easy to grow. To tell the 
truth, one of the dangers 
that roses have to brave is 
over-kindness. This is par- 
ticularly true in respect to 
fertilizer when the plants 
are first set out. Don't fer- 
tilize at all when you first 
plant your bushes. 
The thing your roses will 
appreciate most is regular 
watering, and by watering, 
we mean _ soaking, not 
sprinkling. Fertilizer may 
be given at regular inter- 
vals and in small amounts 
after the bushes become 
established.
