ROSE PLANTS 



The kind you need in your business. All 

 grown from wood taken from plants 

 growing in the field and in bloom. Have 

 never been forced; are growing in beds 

 out of doors with no protection whatever. 

 They have the wood and stamina which 



you fall to get in an under-glass reared plant. Prices also talk. This stock is the same as we are planting in the field ourselves. Quick 



order if you can use. Terms cash. Not less than 25 of a variety sold.

roots of annuals and such like are gen- 

 erally destroyed. "Where there is an 

 excess of gravel the soil is usually poor, 

 unless there is a plentiful deposit of 

 black sediment, and in such cases vege- 

 tation of all kinds usually does well, 

 but we do not find that such deposits are 

 the rule in a majority of cases, being 

 confined principally to the river bottoms 

 and overflow alluvial deposits. 



Sandy SoU. 



Soil that is naturally sandy does very 

 well for the growing of small soft- 

 wooded stock, provided it is well ma- 

 nured, which has to be done several 

 times each season to have any lasting 

 effect. Plenty of water is also neces- 

 sary, as sandy soil is a very great con- 

 sumer of moisture and there is never 

 body enough in it to hold anything 

 upon which the roots can feed. A better 

 plan where the soil is sandy is to spade 

 in plenty of adobe or clay, if such is 

 to be had. This, to a certain extent, 

 seems to make up the deficiency and the 

 results from its use are more satisfactory 

 than from anything in the line of a fer- 

 tilizer for the growing of ordinary gar- 

 den plants. G. 



We will have to ask you to discon- 

 tinue our advertisement of roses until 

 further notice, to allow us to catch up 

 with our orders. — S. J. Reuter, Westerly,

There is no known way to make sure 

 of canna seed growing, or any other 

 seed, for that matter. Like many of 

 our gardening operations, we know the 

 conditions most favorable to germina- 

 tion and can follow these faithfully and 

 simply, but beyond that we cannot go. 

 There is a mysterious latent force which 

 comes into action when the seed vege- 

 tates, over which we have no control, 

 and all the science and devices are pow- 

 erless if the spark of life is not there — 

 if the little dry atom called the germ is 

 lifeless. 



Canna seed should be gathered in the 

 fall as soon as ripe and sown at once. 

 Then a large proportion will grow. If 

 left until spring a much smaller per- 

 centage will grow, and if eighteen 

 months old you may as well sow No. 1 

 bird shot and expect it to produce 

 cannas. This is all right as advice for

the future, but useless for the present 

 moment. Soak the seed twenty-four 

 hours in hot water. Let it be nearly 

 boiling. Then take each seed, hold 

 firmly with a pair of small pinchers and 

 with a strong knife slice off a small por- 

 tion of the hard covering of the seed. 

 This allows the moisture to penetrate 

 the seed and start germination. If the 

 sand in your propagating bed is kept at 

 70 degrees, then sow the seed in a drill 

 one inch deep across the bed. You can 

 sow in a flat of sandy soil and place 

 the flats a few inches above some hot- 

 water pipes. If sown in your propa- 

 gating bed, look out, as the little tender 

 growth of the canna is susceptible to 

 creeping, spreading fungus. W. S.
