ROSES IN CALIFORNIA. 



[Concluded from page 102.] 



a distance and then the loss is much 

 heavier. 



In topping the stock the rose grower 

 has another good chance to distinguish 

 himself. Whether to do it early or 

 wait until later is often an enigma 

 and if one were always sure of the' 

 weather much extra work could be 

 avoided and there would be less danger 

 from wind and rain. Heavily irrigated 

 roses show little inclination to become 

 dormant, and when dug in the fall and 

 covered with young foliage are in any- 

 thing but satisfactory condition for 

 transplanting. On the other hand, 

 when there has been no irrigation and 

 the stock has been allowed to dry off 

 naturally there is no difficulty in dig- 

 ging, no danger of heating during 

 transit, no dying back when replanted 

 and no kick from the purchaser. 



Another point should be mentioned 

 here. Non-irrigated roses can be dug 

 with perfect safety as early as October, 

 and from that time on there is no'^diffi- 

 culty in handling them until April 1 

 This gives the grower a splendid chance 

 to dispose of his stock at such times 

 as best please his customers in the 

 many parts of the country. Digging 

 when possible, should always be done 

 with a tree-digger, as the buyers have 

 become quite as particular in the mat- 

 ter of roots as they always have been 

 with tops. 



One might ramble on indefinitely 

 about the varieties of roses, both new 

 and old, and the peculiar conditions 

 favorable to certain kinds and classes, 

 but It IS not the intention to go into 

 details along these phases. In conclu- 

 sion I will remind you that the demand 

 for properly grown field roses was never 

 greater than it is at the present mo- 

 ment in California, and although quite 

 a few growers have "gone broke," to 

 use a common expression, in our state. 

 It was because invariably they had 

 overlooked or did not consider the im- 

 portance of one or more of the points 

 that I have endeavored to impress on 

 you.
