good, substantial texture is far better. 

 An open position in the full sun is best 

 for growing the plants and early in the 

 season no shade is needed. But later 

 in the year, when the sun is more pow- 

 erful, a light shading of cheesecloth, 

 lath or other material must be given, or 

 the flowers will open too rapidly and be 

 deficient in color and substance. The 

 shade should be applied when the buds 

 are showing and before they are fully 

 grown, and should be maintained until 

 all are cut, when it should be removed. 

 Allow the plants to finish their growth, 

 feeding and watering freely, and then 

 ripen and dry them off. After a month's 

 drying cut the plants back, using the 

 wood for cuttings if needed, and start 

 them up again. At least three distinct 

 crops may be grown this way in one 

 year and far better flowers produced 

 than under the haphazard way of plant- 

 ing and leaving them alone to shift for 

 themselves. 



The foregoing remarks refer to the 

 bush form of Cecile Brunner, which is 

 the one used principally for cutting. The 

 climbing form, which is greatly superior 

 as a garden rose, should have the wood 

 selected as advised for the bush form, 

 but heavier, stouter growths, cut into 

 longer pieces, are better. The usual cus- 

 tom in the trade is to tie these in bun- 

 dles of about twenty-five and stand 

 them on end in trays of sand, covering 

 the lower two inches or so and placing 

 the trays in a cool place. When the cut- 

 tings are calloused they are planted in 

 nursery rows about six inches apart. 

 They root readily and make fine plants 

 the first year. They should be lifted 



THANKSGIVING 



We 'will be well prepared along all lines for Thanksgiving, but early 

 orders are advisable to secure first choice of stock. Make your reser- 

 vations now and we will see that you are well taken care of.

in November and either potted or 

 planted in permanent positions. The 

 growth of long, vigorous shoots should 

 be encouraged, this wood well ripened 

 and all small, weak wood cut out in 

 spring. The long shoots will produce 

 flowering laterals along their entire 

 growth and make a magnificent display. 

 It should be noted that the climbing 

 form flowers only once a year, in quan- 

 tity, though on large old plants there 

 are always a few blooms showing. The 

 bush variety is practically perpetual in 

 flowering. 



Grown under glass, Cecile Brunner is 

 one of the most profitable of all roses, 

 as it is practically immune from all in- 

 sect pests, never mildews and never fails 

 to give a good account of itself at flow- 

 ering time. Here in California, at least, 

 it is not subject to checks from fluctua- 

 tions in temperatures, as are other roses. 



Whether or not this is the case in the 

 east I am unaware. 



This variety stands plenty of feeding 

 and should be kept going continually 

 until the plants are becoming exhausted, 

 when their places should be taken by 

 young stock prepared in time for the 

 purpose. A thorough renewal of the 

 soil on the beds or benches should be 

 made as for other varieties, as either 

 indoors or outdoors the best flowers can 

 only be produced by careful and liberal 

 culture and good soil.
