PROTECTING ROSES IN WINTER. 



At Hillcrest we were fortunate in 

 losing few of our roses last winter. 

 As we hear tliat tliis was not tlie gen- 

 eral experience we are glad to give 

 our method. We first cover them 

 with soil much as we do our rasp- 

 berries. Over the soil we place the 

 autumn leaves, then boughs of pine 

 from our woods. These pine boughs 

 were probably the reason for our suc- 

 cess last winter, the spring of the 

 boughs protected the roses from the 

 heavy weight of the snow. 



Some of our climbing roses grow on 

 a cedar fence near a stone wall. With 

 these we have formerly had trouble 

 with the rodents. This year we cov- 

 ered them with fresh cedar boughs and 

 none of the roses were gnawed, al- 

 though our young fruit orchard suf- 

 fered severely. 



It seems now as if our shrubs and 

 perennials were showing the benefit 

 of the heavy snows, for the shrubs are 

 in very full bloom and the perennials 

 strong in coming up. In the winter 

 we received a variety of annual flower 

 seeds from Yuldersvki, South Africa. 

 Of some of these we will later give 

 an account. They were sown indoors 

 in flats and were strong in coming up. 

 A few of them have suffered a little 

 from transplanting but not beyond 

 recovery. We started them indoors 

 as we want to collect their seeds for 

 further planting.
