ROSE CULTURE

SOIL — All varieties of roses do not thrive equally well in the oanre
Kind of soil. Hybrid Perpetuals and the stronger Hybrid Teas do better in
a heavy clay loan, and 1 lie* weaker Hybrid Teas and Teas in a warmer and
more sandy loam. One should not be deterred from plantin'* roses if lie
does not have these conditions or the means of producing them, for roses
give satisfactory results on a wide range of soil conditions. .More failures
occur from a lack of nourishment in the soil than from any other single
cause. The ordinary garden soil will grow good roses it well enriched with
row manure or decomposed Imrn-yard manure.

PROPER DRAIN AGE is an essential in rose culture, as the plants will
not thrive in excessively wet soil. If tlie subsoil is impervious and the beds
are on sloping ground so that an outlet can he easily arranged, they should
lx* tile-drained; otherwise a six-inch layer of stones, gravel, broken bricks or
clinkers should be placed in the bottom of the excavation and on top of
this a layer of sods with grass side down. Above this should be at lease
eighteen inches of good soil.

marks on tlie stems

LOCATION — The rose bed or garden should be located in a sunny, open
place sheltered from sweeping west or north winds. Caution must he used
so that the beds arc not placed In too close proximity to trees, the roots of
which will rob the rose beds of all moisture and plant-food.

CULTIVATION — As soon as the plants are set, the beds should be
leveled, care being taken to sec whether each plant is set at the proper
depth. Throughout the growing season, the soil should be frequently
stirred with hoe and rake so as to maintain a mulch of fiinely pulverised
soil over the beds. Tlie soil should never he allowed to bake if a supply of
flowers is desired. Plants secure their food from tlie soil through minute
hairline appendages on tlie roots. All food taken up by tlie roots is secured
in solution and tiiis makes it necessary to keep the soil properly supplied
with moisture, through cultivation. Air must be present in tlie soil or it
will be impossible for the root hairs to secure tlie necessary rood for the
plant. Tlie air in the soil must mostly come from the surface so it is
obvious that it is always necessary to keep the surface in such a condition
that it will admit air. through cultivation and deep plowing. Cultivation
also goes far in keeping insects and diseases under control. Many insects’
eggs and larvae and many disease germs are found in tlie soil. When the
ground is stirred frequently, these are brought to the surface and exposed
to the hot sun and many of them are thus destroyed.

Use a fertilizer when it is absolutely necessary, but make sure, first
that some cheaper process, such as cultivation, drainage or rotation will
not accomplish tlie same result. The physical condition of the soil in
practically every ease is more important than the chemical condition, that
is, it lias a more direct effect upon tlie plants.

THE CULTURE OF GARDEN ROSES

THE culture of roses is too broad a subject to treat in all its phases
in this catalog, but suggestions for growing roses successfully in
gardens and home grounds will be given on request. There is no secret
in the growing of good roses. The proper location, rich, well drained and
well cultivated soil, and safe guarding against fungus and insect pests, will
all contribute to the health and vigor of the plants. The varieties described
are considered to be of the leading kinds. When properly planted and
cared for, they will give perfect satisfaction and will bloom six weeks after
planting. The stocks are FIELD GROWN, two and three years old, of
HIGH QUALITY. BUDDED on proper stocks, best adapted to their
growth. Plants are guaranteed in every respect or money refunded. Unless
otherwise stated, prices are 90 cents per plant.
