It is important to remember that 

 with the lengthening days roses will 

 need to be fed more heavily than in 

 the past two months. Mulching also 

 becomes important now, and of course 

 there is nothing better for the purpose 

 than old, well decayed cow manure, 

 but this manure should be thoroughly 

 decomposed before it is used. If you 

 must use fresh manure, be very care- 

 ful not to burn the roots or foliage. 

 There is a right and wrong time to put 

 on mulch. The right time is when the 

 plants are just being started for an- 

 other crop, with growth about three 

 inches long. Don't put the mulch all 

 on at once, and if it Is at all fresh, use 

 only about a shovelful to four square 

 feet of bench. Have rather more to 

 the front than to the back and center. 

 As soon as the mulch has been put in 

 place, give the benches a good water- 

 ing so that the fertilizing elements 

 will be washed into the soO and also to 

 kOl whatever heat there may be In the 

 manure. If you have to keep the house 

 closed tightly, mulch only one bench 

 at a time in order to avoid the pres- 

 ence of too pungent fumes. If you have 

 any choice in the manure available, 

 choose that which has only short 

 straw in It. 



With a threatened scarcity of gera- 

 niums at Easter time and later in the 

 spring, there will doubtless be a big 

 call for potted petunias. Many people 

 are now buying them for window 

 boxes as weH as for cemetery bedding 

 and garden use. The variety Rosy 

 Morn still continues the favorite pink 

 petunia, and without doubt will sell 

 readily this season. You will need 

 plants from early May up to midsum- 

 mer, and in order to have a succession 

 it will be necessary to keep sowing 

 seeds every ten days or two weeks. 

 These petunias are not at all difficult 

 to grow from cuttings if you keep 

 your house at about fifty-five degrees. 

 A thrifty plant will produce many cut- 

 tings, and you can Increase your stock 

 rapidly. 

 Do not delay in sowing the seed of
