nursery, any inferior variety is discarded. Our stock is finest selected 
Washington Grade #1, freshly dug, 2 and 3 year old stock, 
Terms: Cash with order. Shipped Parcel Post prepaid excepting where specified. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS: . Plant Roses in well enriched soil. Cow manure with a 
generous admixture of raw bonemeal is the best planting medium for roses. 
Plant them so the graft line is covered with at least 1" of soil. As some 
roses grow faster than others it is best to space the slower growing varieties 
24 ft. apart with the faster growing varieties such as "Peace" and President 
Hoover, 3 ft. apart. They should be pruned back in March as soon as new bud 
formation shows, to the 2nd outside eye. Commence spraying in early April 
with a fungicide that will control powdery mildew and blackspot and an insecticide 
on a Lindane base. Continue spraying every 10 days throughout the season and 
you will have fine plants. The owner of just a few roseplants should obtain 
an all purpose rose dust and continue dusting every 10 days. Never water ih 
the evening, do your watering in sufficient time to permit the foliage to dry 
before evening sets in,
