illaiic, \vhi.:li Ucars ii very large ruse of a magriilkeiU deep pink : llie Anna de 

 1 )ie.sbacli which is of a beautiful pink, and very large and very fragrant ; the 

 Abel Grand, very floriferous. and of which the bud is most shapely ; the Silver 

 Queen, which is a blush rose of great beauty ; and I might have said first of all, 

 the Mabel Morrison, a white with a pink blush : the General Jacciueniinot, 

 dark and fragrant ; the beautiful Baroness Rothschild, a full shell pink incohjr, 

 absolutely perfect in form and the most decorative rose. It has one fault -it 

 has no perfume, liut do not let this deter you. Place a Jacqueminot ne.xt to 

 it and you will miss nothing. The Marguerite de St. Armand is a lovely rose : 

 the Dinsmore is not so beautiful in form, but covered with bloom from end t(j 

 end of the season. One delicious sweetbriar must be among your roses. Mix 

 other flowers with your roses. They are finer so in a garden than alone. 



Roses, like poppies and marigolds, need sun. Set your roses out in the 

 autumn only if vour winter is mild. If you have a severe winter climate start 

 them in the spring. Then they will get firmly established by the autumn, and 



winter more safely. 



They must be " laid down ' as late as possible— that i.s, gently bent to the 

 ground and fastened so by means of twigs put over them like little arches, the 

 ends of the twigs firmly stuck in the ground : then, according to the severity of 

 the winter, cover them with straw, leaves, litter, cloths, lightly or heavily, as the 

 winter may demand. A snowless winter is their greatest enemy.— Harper's 

 Bazar. 



HOW TO LAV OUT THE FARM GARDEN. 



A correspondent of the Practical Farmer says : " Make your garden long 



and narrow. Build your fences along the sides of good material and set them 



solid. Make the fence at the ends movable and support it with the common A 



brace instead of posts. The panels should be light and strong. Eath crossed 



like lattice work and nailed to two pine boards four inches wide and twelve feet 



long will make it. When the garden is to be manured, plowed or cultivated 



move the end panels out of the way and drive straight through. Plow deep. 



harrow fine and smooth with a broad plank. Do the job thoroughly and you 



will have a seed-bed good enough for anything, and the soil will be easy to 



cultivate the whole season. Set a row of currants and gooseberries close along 



the inside of the south fence (we are presuming the garden lies the longest way 



east and west), and a row of Blackcap raspberries along the north fence. Four 



feet from the raspberries set a row of asparagus ; four feet from this two rows of 



strawberries, three feet apart : then plant your radishes, lettuce, peas, beans. 



beets etc ,— everything except corn and potatoes— in rows far enough apart to 



■idmit your stead'iesi horse and narrowest cultivator. P.ut little hoemg will be 



miuired and in one sea.son you will he convinced that you can garden as easily 



•IS farm.' The fruit and vegetables will lessen the cost of living fully a thiril. 



\our doctor bills will decrease, your health increase, and as the years pass you 



will wonder how you ever got along without a good garden."
