Roses are the queen of summer, and may be had in abundance 

 by planting the right kinds. In the spring we must spade up our 

 beds or plow for a garden. Pulverize the soil well. We have the 

 best success by planting in rows in the ploughed garden, and culti- 

 vating with the Gem hand cultivator. Small plants (larger ones 

 will do as well) may be planted as soon as the ground is warm. A 

 slight frost will not hurt very much. The plants should have plenty 

 of room. In cultivating do not work the ground deep, but keep 

 clean of weeds. Insects may be kept off by tobacco or pyrethram. 

 For the greatest amount of blooms the teas are best, and may be left 

 out over winter in this way. After the frost has caused the leaves to 

 fall, cut back to within twelve or fifteen inches of the ground; then 

 when the ground is frozen hard on top, cover up with leaves or 

 straw, which may be left there until early spring, but must be re- 

 moved early, or it will heat. We must be careful to avoid mice, as 

 they will gnaw the roses. 



The list given below are roses that have given satisfaction out- 

 side. They are not all teas, but all bloom well :
