soil. Some well rotted cow manure 

 may also be added. Give them full 

 sun and if necessary feed with liquid 

 manure twice a week. 



It pays to keep the roses well 

 mulched at this time, especially in 

 houses which are to be carried on tor 

 a little longer, but will be replanted in 

 July. Well decayed cow manure makes 

 the best mulch, as fresh manure would 

 be too stimulating, resulting in the 

 making of soft growth. This is a mat- 

 ter of importance because growth of 

 this kind easily becomes subject to 

 mildew. Do not put on all the mulch 

 at once, but add additional material at 

 intervals. It is best not to have the 

 plants too dry when the manure is 

 aa>plied, and watering is required im- 

 mediately, even though the time be 

 late in the afternoon. Watering is 

 needed to kill any heat that there may 

 be in the manure, as well as to wash 

 down the ammonia which would other- 

 wise be lost. Roses respond differently 

 to such applications of manure. Sev- 

 eral of the kinds which grow very 

 quickly, like Ophelia, Sunburst and 

 Shawyer, give results which show 

 very quickly, the difference in color 

 being discernible in two or three days. 



If you can't get cow manure, then 

 do the next best thing and apply some 

 such fertilizer as tankage, dried blood, 

 sheep manure or bone meal, but han- 

 dling them with care, for they are 

 concentrated fertilizers. The only ad- 

 vice to be given is that the grower ex- 

 periment with them a little at first. 

 Growers sometimes think that they 

 can get extra quick results by using 

 nitrate of soda, but there is seldom 

 a time when this fertilizer can be 

 recommended. It is too rich in nitro- 

 gen, with the result that it causes 

 soft growth and brings trouble to the 

 grower. 



Don't be in too much of a hurry to 

 open the side ventilators in the rose 

 house, even though the days begin to 

 get warm. Mr. Arthur Ruzicka says 

 that he never uses his side ventilators 

 except when his houses are being 

 planted, and for a while after, so as 

 not to roast the young plants that 

 have just been put in.
