For July. 1923

One of the best preventive measures is 

 clean culture. Raiik growths of weeds, water 

 sprouts and other vegetation harbor and 

 encourage borers and such vegetation should 

 not be allowed to accumulate at the base of 

 fruit trees. — Fruit, Garden & Home. 



PROPAGATING RAMBLER ROSES 



It is very easj- to propagate Rambler 

 Roses by cuttings of ripe wood in July. 

 We usually take the tip of a branch which 

 has dowered, as that ripens earlier, cut- 

 ting it about eight or ten inches long, 

 the lower end being just below a bud. 

 Trim off some of the foliage if there is 

 much of it, and set in mellow ground to 

 a depth which leaves about two buds 

 above the ground, then invert a fruit jar 

 or other wide-mouthed bottle over the 

 cutting, after watering it. It is preferable 

 to place the cutting in a rather sheltered 

 locality, and our own practice is to put 

 them, as a rule, under or around the 

 parent bush. Very often we do not even 

 cover with a jar, but it is more certain to 

 do this, especially if the season turns very 

 dry after the cutting is set. Leave the 

 cuttings untouched until the next Spring, 

 when a liigh percentage of them will be 

 rooted, and may be set like nursery 

 plants. If you have a favorable locality 

 in a Rose bed where you can water the 

 cuttings and give them clean cultivation, 

 you would probably root them very well 

 without covering with a glass jar, but it 

 is an added protection. 



These Roses are also very easily prop- 

 agated by layers, bending down a ma- 

 tured shoot in Spring, with a slight cut- 

 ting or heel in the bark on the under side, 

 then putting earth over the place where 

 they are fastened in the ground. In 

 many cases such layers will have a great 

 liunch of roots the following season, and 

 may then be cut from the main plant and 

 set wherever desired. — {Rural Xew 

 Yorker.) 



Daily you plant seeds. What kind are 

 3'ou planting, careful or careless seeds? 

 Seeds of cheer, hope, joy, tolerance, 

 humility, or seeds of selfishness, anxiety. 

 self-pity, scorn, envy, bitterness, and the 

 like? Do you spread cheer, or are you 

 a long-faced pessimist? Are you hope- 

 ful, or do you express anxiety, fear, and 

 doubt' Have you tolerance for tlie views 

 of others, or are you impatient and scorn- 

 ful? Does a brother's deserved success 

 cause you envy, or do you rejoice with 

 him? Do you magnify the so-called faults 

 of your neighbors or minimize their weak- 

 nesses? Are you pleasant and agreeable in 

 company, but heavy, dull, or serious at 

 home? These are a few of the seedlings 

 you are planting every day. Cultivate the 

 soil vigorously ; uproot the unruly, unlovely 

 weeds which hinder your progress. Think 

 about your mental garden. It is your richest 

 possession, your dearest treasure, that 

 which reflects you as you really are. 

 The way you tend it, feed it, nourish it. 

 clothe it, proves what you think of it and 

 desire it to be. Make a fresh start this 

 day to mirror to the world the cultivation 

 you give your garden. The happiness, peace 

 of mind, growth, and success which are your 

 divine inheritance cannot then escape you. —
