Roses from Hillsdale are carefully selected, No. 1 field-grown plants—the best on the horticultural market. Each variety has been tested in our own gardens. 
This assures you of receiving hardy, vigorous plants, which will have beautiful blooms in abundance from varieties well adapted to this section of the Middle West. 
Undoubtedly of great benefit to the Rose buyer is the potted plant, which enables us to offer our Roses already growing and blooming. This new way of selling 
them eliminates all danger of the plants being retarded in your garden and insures the buyer of exactly the variety desired. 
These plants are growing in pots filled with a specially prepared soil, properly fertilized to insure rapid and permanent growth and bloom. Hillsdale Roses can be 
planted in your garden at any time during the growing season without showing even the slightest wilt of foliage, buds or blooms. 
DIRECTIONS FOR RE-PLANTING 
POTTED ROSES 
The re-planting of Hillsdale Potted Roses is very 
simple indeed. The pots are slit and carefully peeled 
off from the soil. The ball of earth is then set in the 
bed so that it comes about !5 inch lower than the 
finished level of the beds. Be sure that the graft union 
at the neck of the roots is 1 inch below the surface. 
Always press the soil firmly around the roots of any 
kind of plant. This is done to force the air space out of 
the soil around the roots. After this, watering to soak 
the soil thoroughly is all that is necessary.
