LET NATURE H ELP MAKE H OME ATTRACTIVE

With trees and shrubs as furni ture, she will prove herselfan artistic housekeeper . Four walls don ’t make a h ome . Abare dirt or sod yard about the house i s as forbidding and uniny iting as a livi ng room wi thout pictures , curtains , rug s orchairs . Poorly g roome d house sur roundings are discouragingand do not have the proper moral effect on t h e fami ly . Be

sides they sew e to depreciate the value of property . Everyhom e is entit l ed to lawns , flowers, trees and shrubs . Give M a

Nature a free hand , and order her materials f rom Ros emontNurs eri es ; she wi ll delightfully surpr i s e you by u sing the rich ,

blue sky as a cei ling,frescoing th e walls with the tal l m em

bers of the forest family and carpeting the floor with wel lwoven bermuda . She w i ll tie the dwelling to the lawn with abeautiful border and

,ar range beds , etc . ,ju st as tidy on the out

side as Mary Ann does on the inside :

The effect will be to make the res t at the end of the daymore rejuvenating . Dad , mother , broth er and the g irls wi llbe g rateful for the calm beauty of green and flowering shrubs .

HINTS ON CARE AND CULTURE OF ROSES

ANY GOOD GARDEN SOIL is alri ght for Roses , most

amateurs make the mistak e of enriching the ros e garden toomuch . Select a SUNNY LOCATION away from trees andshrubbery, sp ade or plow well .

‘

FALL PLANTING is preferred for the reason that the p lantsdeve l op a root system during winter and are establi shed readyto grow when spring comes . Any time during the

,

dormantseason however i s a lr ight —(From November t h e first to Marchthe first usually w i th us . )

MAKE AN OPENING LARGE ENOUGH TO RECEIVETHE PLANT with the roots Spread out naturally , plac e theplant in positi on and fi ll hole about two thirds w i th top soi l ,water well , al low water to settle , and finish fi l ling hol e withsoi l . The plant should be s et as deep as it grew in the nursery .

DO NOT EXPOSE PLANTS to the sun and wind , keepprotected until you are ready to set each plant .

APPLY FERTILIZER on top the bed , any fer ti li zer usedi s best appli ed on top the bed . Well rotted barnyard manurei s a fine f erti li zer for roses also wood ashes .

CULTIVATION I S VERY IMPORTANT , keep the rose bedwel l hoed but do not dig deep -two inches i s suffic i en t

WATERING—During dry weather water after the fashion of a good rain , all ow to dry out and cultivate . Do not keepthe bed soak ed a l l the time . Ros es love water and must havemoisture to grow and bloom but good drainage i s a lso ess ential .They are never happy in a sour bed .

MILDEW AND BLACK S’POT may be prevented with amixture composed of 9 parts dusting sulphur (not flowers ofsulphur ) to 1 part of powdered arsenate of lead . Mildew maybe cured with this remedy but Black Spot i s best ch ecked by

p i cking off affected leaves .

ROSEMONT NURSERY CO .,"Tyler, Texas

.

PRUNING—Ros emont Roses are pruned f or'

set t i ng be

fore being shipped,they w i l l need no furth er pruning the first

s eason.Bush roses of Hybrid Perpetual type should be cu t back

to w ith i n five or six eyes of th e ground and Bush roses of theTea and Per neti an type should be cut down to about four eyes .

Old Weak stems should be entirely removed . The stems left

should be cut just above an eye which points out . This gives

the "plant an open and well balanced shape . The proper time

for pruning i s ju st before the buds begin to swell in the

Spring.

PRUNING CLIMBERS— C'limberswhich bloom only in the

Spr i ng should b e p r uned after they have fini shed blooming.

Th ey'bl oom on the wood of the previous s eason

’

s g rowth and

you cut off your blooms if you prune before they bloom in'

th e

spring.They should be pruned suffici ent to keep in bounds and

to remove old and weak canes and branche s . Everblooming

cl imbers should b e pruned in the Spring to keep in bounds and

to remove weak canes .
