XTEW HYBRID TEA ROSES

an a m iscellaneous Coll ection of
Pot-Grown Roses for Garden Culture

READY FOR SHIPMENT AFTER MAY 1, 1916

UR collection of Roses is well established in pots, and can be trans-
planted out of pots without breaking the ball of earth or disturbing
the roots. This is an advantage over planting Roses which have not
been pot-grown and require a month or more to recover after
transplanting.

To insure success, Roses require a sunny exposure and some
shelter from the cold winds. The ground should be thoroughly spaded over and
poor soil removed — replacing the old turf, and a liberal application of cow-manure
thoroughly incorporated with the soil.

Tea Roses should be planted about 20 inches apart; Hardy Perpetuals about
30 inches — giving plenty of water when the planting is done, and occasionally
during the summer months in torrid weather. Plants that are in a weakened condi-
tion on account of lack of nourishment at the roots, are more subject to attack by
insects or other pests than those in vigorous growth.

Spraying with a mixture of arsenate of lead is one of the best remedies. A safe
solution would be four ounces to six gallons of water.

Care should be taken that the under portion of the foliage receives a thorough
spraying, as this is where the enemies of the Rose and other plants take refuge —
viz. under the leaves. Do not wait until the disease is prevalent, but spray at the
first appearance of the pests.

A solution of tobacco is also an excellent remedy.

If plants are attacked by mildew, sulphur dust applied to the foliage is a good
remedy.
