The Old Gardener Says:

Rosebushes should be set out
as early as possible in the Spring
and preferably on a cloudy day.
Plants received from a distance
may be somewhat dried out. The
safest plan to follow with them
IS to soak them in pail of wa
ter for several hours, or better
still, to bury them in the open
ground, leaving them there for q
day or two. This treatment will
make them plump again, after
which they may be planted with
assurance that they will live. 1t
is a mistake to plant any rose
bushes which are dried, either at
the tops or at the roots. One
secret Of success with rosebushes
is to mound the earth up around
them for or 6 inches, leaving
for week. This plan prevents,
the drying out of newly set
plants before they become estab-
lished in their new surroundings.
