up long shoots from the bottom four to 

 six weeks earlier than the grafted. 



Treatment After Planting:. 



After planting, we give a thorough 

 watering around the plants without wet- 

 ting the whole bed, and after that we 

 give no more water for from one to three 

 weeks, as the case may require, but rely 

 on syringing and cultivating to keep 

 things moving. 



Keep the soil stirred once a week 

 among newly planted stock; it can be 

 done quicker than the weeds can be 

 pulled out, which come if the soil is not 

 scratched over, and is of incalculable 

 benefit to the plants. 



Left-over Stock. 



As soon as the planting is finished, 

 all left-over stock can be planted out in 

 the field, where it will take care of it- 

 self, and unless required, it can be left 

 there until just before the ground 

 freezes in the fall, when it can be 

 brought in and potted or planted thickly 

 on a bench in a cool house, where they 

 will make good plants for Easter or 

 Memorial day. If lifted about the first 

 part of September, they will make ac- 

 ceptable plants in pots for Christmas. 

 Liberty makes a splendid rose for this 

 purpose. If established in pots in the 

 summer, treated as a hybrid in early 

 fall, it can be well flowered for Christ- 

 mas. 



If needing room now for replanting, 

 any healthy plants to be dug up, if pot- 

 ted, will be fine for Memorial day. Last 

 year we had 800 plants of Liberty in a 

 house with Bride and Maid. They did 

 well up to Christmas, but after that they 

 refused to work. About the first week 

 of March we trimmed the weak wood 

 out of them, and as they grew kept them 

 pinched back until April 15. Between 

 May 15 and June 10 we cut over 10,000 

 good flowers from these plants. About 

 eight weeks before Christmas is late 

 enough for the final pinching back for 

 Christmas flowers. 



This method of holding back flowers is 

 not so new as some may imagine, as it 

 was practiced in the middle west, twenty 

 years ago. 



Drying Off. 



In regard to drying off plants to be 

 carried over to another year, it seems as 

 if more harm is done by too much dry- 

 ing off than otherwise. The beds will 

 dry naturally in the heat of the summer. 

 The wood should never shrivel and the 

 • foliage should be syringed enough to 

 keep down spider. This summer treat- 

 ment is where local conditions and soils 

 call for different methods. 



Syrins^ing. 



Syringing is another operation which 

 calls for discretion. Is it paradoxical
