IMPORTANT PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR ROSES 
Plant roses 2 to 3 inches above the graft. Then hill up with soil at least 
one-half of the top, 
leaving a good basin to hold water. Fill up the basin at 
least four times every other day until roses are well sprouted. 
Plant with well rotted cow manure and bone meal. 
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS—After they have sprouts 2 inches high, pot in good organic 
fertilized soil, just covering the bulb. About the last of May, plant out-of-doors in a 
shady place. 
DAHLIAS—Plant deep! Dig out generous-sized holes, and put rotted manure or peat, 
and bone meal at the bottom of each, mixing well with the soil. Place tuber on its 
side with eye up, five or six inches below the surface of the ground, but fill in only 
half the depth of soil at first. 
GLADIOLUS— Soak 3 to 6 hours in solution of 1 tsp. Lysol in.1 quart of water. Plant 
when ground is warm—using bone meal—and at 10-day intervals for succession of 
bloom, allowing 70 to 90 days for maturity. Plant 4 or 5 inches deep in light soil, 
but only 3 to 4 inches in heavy soil. 
LILIES—Prepare soil with one part loam, one part peat or leafmold, one part sand and 
rotted manure with a little bone meal added. Dig out the soil to a depth of from one 
to two feet, put coal ashes or sand into the subsoil. Fill in with the good, prepared 
soil, Plant lilies 4 to 6 inches deep for base rooting types, 5, to 8 inches for stem 
rooting. Mulch the soil above after planting. 
PERENNIALS—The soil should be well worked. Fertilizer and plenty of humus are 
necessary for success. 
PEONIES—Should be planted with the bud tips about 114 inches below the surface of 
the ground. Use one cup of bone meal for ‘each peony. 
IRIS—Should be planted with the rhizome barely covered, bone meal for fertilizer.
