dry side when the lime is applied. 

 Then it can be rubbed in a little, being 

 very careful not to scratch too deep 

 so as not to tear up the roots that are 

 near the surface. Following this a 

 good watering will carry the lime 

 down where it will do the most good. 

 After this the plants can receive ti ed 

 and regular treatment as soon as 1 1 i * > > 

 begin to grow nicely. Should the 

 plants be badly cut off, it will be well 

 to go over them and see (hal there is 

 a little wood left on each one, pinch- 

 ing here and there if necessary. 

 Blackspot. 



Watch out for blackspot, especially 

 among the Beauties, and as soon as 

 there is a sign of the least little bit. 

 see that it is picked off. and proper 

 precaution taken to check its spread. 

 Give the plants the very best of cul- 

 ture, and spray them, with copper car- 

 bonate, the ammoniacal mixture us- 

 ing about two ounces of copper carbon- 

 ate with ammonia enough to dissolve 

 it in two gallons of water. Apply with 

 a fine nozzle on a clear day when 

 there is plenty of air on. When ap- 

 plying the mixture be sure to reach In 

 among the plants well so that the ma- 

 terial will reach the foliage which is 

 most likely to suffer. Keep the plants 

 on the dry side a little while, and 

 watch for drip from leaky roofs or 

 stopped up drip grooves. Slipped glass 

 will also let in a lot of water just 

 where it is least welcome. With spot 

 on the Teas it is much the same, only 

 they will harden up and stop growing 

 if they are kept on the dry side too 

 long. Beauties will do the same, but 

 it shows at once and this is not true 

 with the Teas. They will slip back so 

 gradually that the damage is done be- 

 fore a person is aware of it. Plenty 

 of fresh air, even at the expense of a 

 little coal and good clean culture will 

 do wonders to rid the plants of spot. 

 Shaking Plants After Syringing. 



With the fall months here now, and 

 the days ever getting shorter, it will 

 be necessary to shake the plants well 

 right after each syringing to insure 

 their drying off before night. Never 

 should the plants remain wet over 

 night, and syringing should always be 

 done early in the morning as possible, 

 so that the plants will be fairly dry by 

 noon, this giving them ample time to 

 get dry by night. If the night happens 

 to be cool, keep a little more air on 

 than is customary, and it would he 

 well to keep the houses a degree or 

 two warmer, but with air on. other- 

 wise the plants would be apt to get 

 soft. This must be avoided for soft 

 plants will get mildew very easily, 

 and will not give the quality of cut 

 roses that good hardy plants will.
