Benches (hat have not been planted 

 to ruses should be filled at once so 

 that the plants may get well estah- 

 lished before tall. Don't, however, 

 make the mistake of getting the 

 benches too lull. Most roses will do 

 well in five inches of good soil, which 

 sradually firm down to four inches. 

 More soil can be added if it is needed, 

 but it is much more difficult to remove 

 soil 11' there is too much. Try to go 

 over the plants after they have been 

 knocked out of pots to remove all 

 spots that you can find. Sometimes 

 growers do this work after the roses 

 have been planted, but this is a poor 

 custom, as there is danger of bringing 

 the si)0t into a new house. Precau- 

 tionary measures are of more value 

 than any remedies which can be used 

 later. If preen scum has formed on 

 the ball of the plant while in the pot, 

 be sure to rub it off. but do not take 

 too much of the ball. If you simply 

 rub off the surface, that will be suffi- 

 cient. When late planting is being 

 done, see that the ball is not broken, 

 as is likely to happen if the plants are 

 pressed into the soil. This plan is 

 followed by some growers, but it is a 

 poor one, for many little roots are 

 most certain to be torn, with the re- 

 sult that the plants get a check. If 

 the ball is kept intact, on the other 

 hand, growth will be started quickly 

 and will go on continuously. Most 

 good growers use a trowel with which 

 they make a hole large enough for 

 the ball, and then set the plant, care- 

 fully firming the soil around it. If 

 you are usin.s; old plants, see to it that 

 the roots are spread out proiierly so 

 that they will not be bunched up. 

 Sometimes you see a grower bunch up 

 all the roots so as to make a ball, and 

 then stick the plant into the ground. 

 To a good grower this looks either 

 like ignorance or laziness, .■\nyhow, 

 it shouldn't be tolerated in these days 

 of his;h priced plants. 



r^efore long you will begin to need 

 lime at night after watering and 

 syringing, especially in houses that 

 were planted early, and where the 

 plants have made some growth. Air 

 slacked lime is a great help in any 

 house, but it is best to have it well 

 screened so that it can be used readily 

 in a pair of bellows. With bellows you 

 can blow the lime under the plants, 

 but of course you will be careful not 

 to use too much powder, for here as 

 in other respects it is possible to pre- 

 vent waste and so save money.
