Proper Method of hilling up 
a rose at planting time 
The above sketch shows the proper way to plant 
and hill up a Rose. Dig hole considerably larger 
- than spread and depth of roots. Fill in enriched 
soil around the spread-out roots, keeping the crown 
or bud barely covered below the finished ground 
line after tramping. Water thoroughly, and hill up 
6 to 8 inches of moist soil around top of plant as 
shown. This is very important. Completely remove 
this additional soil when growth starts. Ask for 
detailed instruction sheet on ‘‘Growing Roses the 
Easy Way.”’ 
ROSE DUST. It is important to protect your

insecticide, formulated for this special use. It
