SUB-ZERO "ra ROSES osesaxco: or 
A distinct strain of roses that, unprotected, has been wintering through 
15 degrees below zero for years and if the earth is hilled up about six inches 
around the plant, these roses have withstood 50 degrees below zero! Hilling 
up the earth about six inches before snow flies, is the only protection neces- 
sary plus tying about 5 layers of newspapers around the tops of the plants, 
for the coldest parts of the U.S. 
Plant these sub-zero roses so the graft joint is 3 inches below bed level, 
preferably in full sunshine. Half fill the hole with soil, add one-half pail 
water, and fill in balance of soil, then hill up plant with clean loose dirt, to 
be removed in 10 days. And if your winters are not colder than fifteen below, 
they need no further care. 
All sub-zero roses, 2-yr. field grown, $1.75 each; 3 for $4.80, postpaid.
