For a real thrill in growing flowers, nothing will 
compare with the daily watching of the unfolding 
of these glorious new roses. Just one perfect 
bloom will be worth the price of the plant, still 
each plant will produce an abundance the first 
year! In this territory the plants should be set 
deep, and the tops cut back to within four inches 
of the ground, Any time after October 20th they 
should be mounded up with about a foot of soil, 
and then covered with snow during the winter. 
To those who come here for their rose plants: we 
furnish peat and fertilizer free. Potted roses 
available all summer. 
Rugosa Roses 
Grootendorst—Red. Often called the carnation 
rose because each rose is about the same size and 
color as a carnation. It will have as many as « 
dozen flowers in a cluster and blooms from June 
until out in October. Entirely hardy. Grows to 
about 3 feet; 2-year bushes, each $1.25. 
Hansa—It has large double red flowers all sum- 
mer on a 5-ft. bush. It will perform best if the 
oldest wood is kept cut out, and the new growth 
should also be cut back in the sprine in order to 
keep it compact. It will, however, thrive for many 
years without attention. 2-year plants, each $1.25.
