For several years we have not included this valuable decorative
shrub owing to the United States Quarantine forbidding inporta-
tions of such trees from Europe, the only place where they were
obtainable at that time.
This year we are again offering trees of Boxwoods, grown in
this country, in pyramid shape
in tubs.

PRIVET, IBOLIUM
A cross between Ibota and California Privet. It has the at-
tractive dark green leaves of the California but is of a more
branching habit, making a more compact hedge in less time. Re-
ports that Ibolium show no signs of winter injury, when Cali-
fornia has been killed to the ground, are being received from
many places in the New England and Middle States.

Roses and Their Culture
Our Roses are as hardy as
trees, grown outdoors, and sure
to give satisfaction, assuming
customer knows how to handle
them. If a Rose Bush dies after
planting it is usually due to lack
of trimming and lack of water.
If the roots are kept wet for two
weeks after planting they are
sure to grow. Nearly all losses
on Roses are due to lack of
enough moisture, as the roots are
as hardy as any tree we ship out.
Customers should always remem-
ber that we have no control over
our products after they leave our
hands. We make them grow and
the customer can do the same if
he handles them properly.
HOW TO GROW ROSES
Select a sunny location in the open, southern exposure pre-
ferred, sheltered, if possible, from north winds.
Prepare beds by using good soil and cow or well rotted horse
manure. Old sod well cut is also beneficial. Beds should be at
least two feet in depth. For convenience of customers we offer
cow manure put up in bags. See inside last page of this cata-
logue.
PLANTING
Plant deep so that the branches, where they leave the trunk,
will be four inches below the surface. Trim as shown in cut so
as to leave not over 5 or 6 inches of wood above ground. Pound
the soil firmly about the root and water thoroughly. If the soil
and weather be dry, a good soaking of water may be applied,
and then shade the ground and plants with mulching. If shaded
by paper or other devices from drying winds until they com-
mence growing, their success will be assured. The season for
transplanting hardy Roses is April, May, October and November.
Pruning. This should be regulated by the habit of growth,
the weak shoots cut in closely, the strong left longer. Moss
Roses and Austrian Yellow Roses need the least pruning. Hy-
brid Perpetuals, grown to produce flowers for exhibition, require
close pruning before the middle of April, the weak shoots being
cut close back, and the strong ones to 5 or 6 eyes. If less is
cut away, the number of blooms will be larger, but the size of
the flowers will be smaller. Climbing Roses should have their
28
J. W. ADAMS NURSERY COMPANY
old shoots and such as are weak entirely cut away, while several
vigorous branches may be left their entire length.
Watering. In dry weather water is of much benefit, if
properly applied. Frequent surface waterings are worse than
none, for they seldom fail to produce bad health and disease.
When water is given, it should be in sufficient quantity to reach
the lower roots, and to prevent its quickly drying out a mulch
on the surface is very useful.
For winter protection, draw the soil one foot high about the
plants, or even more, if convenient. Manure can be put on for
additional protection. It need not be rotted; green will answer
just as well, and can be covered under in the spring.
INSECTS
A weekly application of Bordeaux-Arsenate of Lead Mix-
ture, at the rate of eight ounces to five gallons of water, applied
with sprayer, under side of foliage, during growing season will
keep roses free from almost all insect pests and fungous dis-
eases. A mulching of two inches of tobacco stems covering
ground is very beneficial.
A liberal use of cold water, sprayed with force from the
hose nozzle on the underside of the leaves, will keep the plants
free from green fly and other insects.
Hellebore, Powdered White. For the destruction of slugs,
worms, caterpillars, etc. Less poisonous than Paris Green and
London Purple, and safer to use. Use as a powder or dissolve
one ounce in three gallons of water.
POT GROWN
While we use every modern method possible to keep our
dormant roses fresh for planting out, yet as the season ad-
vances the plants are certain to start or become dried to some
extent. We, therefore, have established in pots plants of the
same size as the dormant ones, and of the leading sorts, which
may be planted as late as July and blossom the first season. By
planting Pot Grown roses you will be assured that all will grow.
