the plants lose many of their leaves. 

 It is a good plan when stringing the 

 wires to have the knots free and 

 loose so that the plants will not be 

 choked as the shoots increase in size. 

 The proper way to handle roses is to 

 tie each shoot separately down be- 

 tween the first and second eye. This 

 will be a great help while cutting 

 later on, and will result in having 

 fewer roses cut in the wrong way. 

 .Moreover, the cutting can be done in 

 quick time, the strings serving as a 

 guide. Be sure that the stakes are 

 tight so that they will not slide when 

 the plants are syringed later on in 

 the season. Use white cord tor this 

 purpose, and have the knots well tied 

 so that the stakes will not move. See 

 that the stakes are put in on the same 

 side of the plants so that they will be 

 in rows. This at least adds much to 

 the appearance of the house. 



It is about time to mulch the 

 Beauties which were planted early so 

 that the roots will be protected from 

 the rays of the hot sun. Give the 

 plants plenty of plant food so that 

 the soil will be rich all the time the 

 |)lants are growing. The best time to 

 apply manure is when the plants are 

 starting for another crop and with the 

 new growth about half grown. True 

 some growers claim that mulching 

 protects the plants for a week or more, 

 but other good rose growers say that 

 they have never seen any such re- 

 sult when the work has been done 

 properly. Of course the manure must 

 1)6 well decayed, and it should have 

 been turned over for at least once a 

 week for several weeks before it is 

 put onto the benches. Clean up the 

 plants well before putting on the 

 dressing, making a point to pick off 

 all the broken and dead leaves, as 

 well as the leaves on the bottom that 

 might touch the manure. After that 

 give a good top dressing of bone meal 

 and work it generously into the soli. 

 It should be practically rubbed in, and 

 steel scratchers should be strictly ta- 

 booed, for with them there is much 

 danger of destroying many roots. 

 Don't put on too much manure at one 

 time and give a good watering as 

 soon as it has been applied. . The 

 water will remove any heat that may 

 remain, while at the same time it 

 will wash much of the ammonia into 

 the soil, making it available to the 

 roots. This matter of watering right 

 after mulching is important, for other- 

 wise the plants may be burned.
