McCULLOUGH’S SEEDS 
Beautify Your Garden With...McCullough Roses 
Our Roses are grown in Northern Ohio. They are strong, two-year-old, field-grown, budded stock. Field-grown, budded Roses 
are stronger and better prepared for the garden than other Rose plants. We do not offer any southern-grown Roses.

They want well-drained 
soil which will nct become too dry and where there is facility for watering. 
They need at least a half day’s full sunlight. It is seldom that real success can 
be achieved with Roses unless they have good drainage, some sunlight and 
shelter from strong winds. Roses are best grown in well-prepared beds ferti- 
lized with stable manure, shredded cow manure, bonemeal or special rose food. 
These fertilizers should be applied when preparing the bed at planting time and

at two-month intervals during the growing season. The dimensions of the bed 
should suit the varying size and vigor cf the plants which it is intended to hold. 
A width of 4 feet allows the gardener to reach the center of the bed from 
either side and will accommodate either two or three cows of Roses. MULCH- 
ING during the summer months is beneficial. It eliminates the need for culti- 
vation and retains moisture in the soil. We recommend Terralite, peat moss, 
or ground corn cobs for mulching Roses.
