A Word on Planting. 



Ii'oses cannot lie planted ti •'ii'',^', 



after frost has left the nroiimi. I >o not 

 |iriine them liack hard at plantine tinie. 

 Leave that nndoiie fur at least tlircti 

 weeks. In plantine roses ,a\dii| such 

 stock as has lieeii carried over winter 

 ill stoiiiye sheds, pacdxcd in -.ind. Tlicst' 

 plants may look l:eaiitil'iil ;iiid yreen on 

 arrival, lint ;in eNimsure t(i sun and 

 wind will speedilv yive many ot' tlieni 

 a lilai l\, as well .is shrivided appear- 

 ;iiice. I'l.aiits iln«^ from the o|Fen ;;roilud, 

 or which h.ave lieeii heeled in iintdoors 

 ilurine winter, will L;ive far the most 

 satisfactory results In the w.arincr 

 stales many yniwers h.-ive ;^doi| success 

 with I'oses on their dw n i ikiI s. (iiafted 

 or Iniddeil stock is. hnwever. h.ardier 

 and nidie adaptalde for the cold st;it(>s, 

 .also possessing ureater vieor. 



GERMINATION OF SEEDS. 



I'lease let llie know Iniw 1oII;l; S(>e(Js 

 of hyiirid te;is napiiie to y(^rminatt\ 1 

 eathercd some e.arlv this year and 

 should like to try I hem. The seeds are 

 I'ldiii (Jriiss an Teplit/. (i. ti. 



The hips, as soon as lipe. slidiiid be 

 placed in moist sand In stratify. When 

 the fniil pditiiin is well rutted, take out 

 the >-eeds. wash and drv them well and 

 sow ,ai dine. The earlier the\' are picked 

 ;inil sdw n. it ripe, the earlier will tliey 

 iisn.illv i^erminale. Winn sown in fall, 

 if pl.aced in Mats, they wHI creuerallv 

 appear in l.ate -priiiL:. • nt if they do 

 nut shiiw then, eseicise a little patience, 

 ,as it may 1 e tall nr even aiinther spring
