66 PLANNING AND PLANTING 



If any of your plants should develop a blight in 

 the branches cut off and burn the affected parts, 

 and hoe some lime and sulphur into the soil. 



And in concluding this chapter allow me to say 

 this: Grow Roses, grow an ABUNDANCE of 

 Roses. To be sure, many other flowers are easier 

 to grow with success, but the growing of Roses is 

 so replete with pleasure and satisfaction, and suc- 

 cess in large measure is so sure, if one but follows 

 the rules of good judgment and common sense, 

 that we cannot sing too high the praise of the 

 Rose; 



Queen of the Floral Kingdom.
