Roses

W ashbnrn’s Rose
Sure to Grow.

Owing to the fact that there is great
loss of vitality in rose bushes when kept
in a dormant condition in the spring, we
have adopted the plan of potting our rose
stock in December and starting them in a
cold greenhouse. They come along natur-
ally and are thoroughly established by
planting out time in April.

They are in much better condition and
much more apt to live than stock kept
dormant until this time. Our customers
have met with so much better results from
stock handled in this manner that we have
discontinued handling the dormant stock
entirely.

We have selected the varieties with
great care and can recommend them as be-
ing among the best for this section.

We offer this choice stock at 50c each,
$5.00 per doz.

When spraying to kill potato bugs, the
first spraying should be made when vines
are two or three inches high. On account
of the adhesive qualities of Grasselli’s Ar-
senate of Lead, it sticks to the potato
vines, so that bug.s are killed even though
they are not hatched for a considerable
time after the poison is applied.
