one, beginning when you start to rest 

 them and cutting a little from each 

 plant every day, ao that they are prac- 

 tically cut back enough by the tiiiic 

 you are ready to start them into 

 growth again. The breaks do not start 

 all at onco under this treatment, which 

 is easier on the plants and in^iiires .i 

 steadier cut of blooms. 



On solid beds the Killarneys will 

 keep on throwing good flowers during 

 the whole period of rest. The small 

 grower, who has to dej)end on one 

 house for both summer and winter cuts, 

 will find this plan a great benefit. 



Before starting to rest the plants, 

 it is well to dig up any that are sick 

 and replace them with young, healthy 

 stock at starting up time. L. 



BEAUTIES FROM OUTSIDE WOOD. 



Will you kindly inform mc when ;in<l 

 how to propagate American Beauty 

 roses outdoors during the growing sea- 

 son? H. W. 8.— Kan. 



1 must confess that I do not know 

 a satisfactory way to grow American 

 Heauty roses from outside wood. Our 

 system of growing here, in northwest 

 em Mississippi, is to use outside stock 

 nlants for growing our scions and put 

 them in hotbeds, but some varieties of 

 liybrid teas and some hybrid perpetuaN 

 we have never successfully grown. I 

 have for twenty years been trying to 

 grow American Beauties from outside 

 wood, but the results have never been 

 satisfactory, in this (dimate Anu'ri- 

 can Beauty is not a satisfactory rose. 

 It is subject to black-spot, mildew and 

 apparently every disease known to the 

 rose. AVhilc other varieties, more or 

 less diflicult to handle, do well w lien 

 ;:iven proper attention. I do not be 

 lieve there is- a ]ilace in America wliere 

 American Beauties can be handled satis- 

 1'actorily from outside wood. Of c(]urse, 

 T may bo mistaken, but I haxc ne\ (^r 

 seen a ])lace where it was done to ad- 

 vantage, ^ly advice would be to plant 

 out INlanetti stocks, eying them tlioi- 

 oughly before j)lanting out, and bud 

 low if you want best results. There are 

 few sections of the country where the 

 American Beauty does w«dl on its own 

 roots. 



If you want stocks for forcing, it 

 seems to !ne it would be better to |)ur- 

 I base from those who make a specialty 

 of growing them. One of the ;^reatest 

 causes of failure in the nursery and 

 llorists' l)usiness is trying to grow 

 something that can not be done ucdi. 

 The sooner the growers dei-idt* to con- 

 fine themselves to things that they can 

 1,'row to advantage, and to let other 

 LCrowers in more fa\ored sections j^idw 

 the other things, the better it will l)e 

 all arounil. 8. W. Croweli.
