Propagating Roses by Fall Cuttings. 



Climbing roses are propagated mostly 

 by hardwood cuttings made in the fall; 

 many cut-flower roses may be propa- 

 gated in the same way. Hardwood cut- 

 tings are taken from the dormant wood 

 of winter, while softwood or green- 

 wood cuttings are taken when the 

 plants are in active growth. To make 

 a hardwood cutting, good, strong, well 

 ripened shoots of the past summer's 

 growth should be selected. These are 

 better if cut between the time the 

 leaves fall and freezing weather. If left 

 until after cold weather there is danger 

 of injury from freezing. They shoulil 

 be cut into pieces of five or six inches, 

 with the upper cut just above a bud, 

 and should be tied in bundles with 

 raflia or with string that does not rot 

 easily if exposed to dampness. After 

 labeling plainly they should be buried 

 in moist sand, tops down, and placed in 

 a cool cellar or buried in the oi)en 

 ground below danger of frost. They 

 should be planleil in the open ground in 

 the spring about or a little before corn- 

 ])lanting time, so that one or two eyes, 

 or not over one inch of the cutting is 

 above ground, which will leave four or 

 five inches in the ground. Care must be 

 taken not to injure the calluses that 

 have formed while the cuttings were 

 buried. Sometimes better results are 

 obtained by planting in partial shade. 

 Fretpiently cuttings made in winter or 

 early spring do nearly as well as those 

 made in the fall, but in the North there 

 is always danger of the wood being 

 injured during the winter. — OfTice of

YOU can be sure of one thing when you buy a 

 Weber or Columbus wagon — ^You get more 

 service for your money. The good service they give 

 is one of the strongest features of Weber and Columbus 



vagons. This service is the result of careful design and Coa« 

 Struction, such as is shown in the International fifth wheel. 



Look between the front axle and bolster, where the king bolt 

 goes through. There you will find the fifth wheel (an exclusive 

 feature). Note the wide circular wearing surface of the two 

 substantial fifth wheel plates. Those plates relieve the owner of 

 a lot of trouble. They prevent breaking or bending of circla 

 irons. They prevent the pitching of the bolster that breaks or 

 bends king bolts. They take strain off the reach and keep tha 

 lower part of the front axle from sagging. 



This one feature adds years to the life of the wagon, but, bet- 

 ter even than that, it indicates the care and thought that havebeea 

 given to every Columbus and Weber feature, and they are many. 



Look over the Weber or Columbus wagon carefully, either at 

 the local dealer's place or in the illustrated wagon folders we will 

 send you on request. Then you will see why, if you want mora 

 for your money, your next wagon should be a Weber or Columbus.
