We all know that roses are not created equal. Some are more winter hardy, some are easier to grow, and some are more disease-resistant. And there are so many different types of roses - those that tuck neatly into the perennial border, those that grow tall and look great on a trellis or arbor, and those that are spectacular in mass plantings. While the rose genus un- equivocally offers the most varied selection of plants to suit every purpose a gardener can dream up, most garden- ers feel that they just don't have enough information to make informed decisions about purchasing rose plants. One rose catalog offers practical and honest informa- tion about rose varieties. : Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower Inc. produces the most informative catalog in the rose business, featuring spectacular photographs and comprehensive descriptions of more than 250 varieties of roses that are available for purchase at local garden' centers nationwide. Until now, this catalog has been available only to whole- sale rose buyers. But this spring, due to popular de- mand, Weeks Roses is mak- ing their catalog available to rose gardeners. You can't or- der from it, but you can go to your local garden center armed with more informa- tion about rose varieties than you've ever had before. Whimsically written by |.

Well- planned landscaping can not only provide energy savings, but also can increase the beauty and value of your home. Planting trees that lose their leaves on the southern and western sides of your home pro- vides summer shading to cool your home, lowering summer cooling costs. In winter these same trees will allow the sun to shine in to provide natural light and warmth into your home. Planting evergreen shrubs and trees on the northern and western sides of your home creates a natural winter windbreak, cutting winter heating costs. Shading your air condi- tioning unit not only saves energy, but helps lengthen the life of the unit. The shade pro- vided by a tree or shrub cases the strain on an air conditioner unit. Just be sure not to block the air circulation necessary to run the machine efficiently. Z Vines are another quick and beautiful energy saver. Deciduous vines provide quick-grow- 3 : 2 -- ing shade on the walls of your home. Consult a professional landscaper to help you : choose the fight vine. Studies show landscaping can also improve the resale value of your home and reduce noise pollution. Remember, before beginning a landscaping project, call us to find out if there are under- ground lines you need to avoid. Also, don't plant tall growing trees under power lines. For energy savings, beauty and noise reduction, nothing beats landscaping. ; LANDSCAPE WITH CARE *Call before you dig. Your utility can tell you the location of any underground lines. Don't plant tall-growing trees under power lines. If you have a tree with power lines running through it don't climb it or build any thing in it. Call if the tree needs trimming. eKeep bush shrubs away from your meter. he (vat deo wAlee Patio Slahs, P oon » aving S, S, @ Ss, 5 Curb. $ P] nters 2 6 * Stone, Step WITH CONCRETE PRODUCTS FROM /< Lgl #., The widest selection and best prices.
