PONTIAC’S CHOICE 
HYBRID TEA 
ROSES 
Roses are truly the “Queen of the Garden Flowers”’ for no other 
flower is held in such esteem. In beds, borders and as cut flowers 
they are unsurpassed for beauty, fragrance and long lasting bloom. 
We have carefully selected those varieties that give a wealth of 
bloom, are healthy and easy to care for and at the same time pro- 
vide a complete range of colors. All are hardy, field-grown plants 
grown by experts and sure to please. 
Roses thrive best in well-drained clay loam enriched with well- 
rotted manure. They should be planted in an open, airy location 
unshaded by trees or buildings for best results. Planted in a good, 
rich soil, judiciously pruned and sprayed or dusted at intervals, 
they will give satisfaction for years.
