dren of that sweetheart to enjoy years and years from 

 now. 



And when we begin our rose garden we'll begin it 

 right — no superficial digging, and sticking in any 

 old way, of these precious plants. No; we'll lay 

 our garden out first with a ball of twine tied to a 

 stick, either informally or improvising as we go, in 

 some private, original design which expresses us, not 

 our neighbor. 



Then we will have it all dug as deep as we, by 

 strategy and beguilement, can lure some man to dig 

 and yet live after. When it is all dug, then mark 

 out the individual holes, leaving generous space be- 

 tween the hybrid perpetuals because they grow to 

 be such big fellows, and don't forget to give Mr. J. 

 B. Clark plenty of courting room. 



The hybrid teas need less space, generally speak- 

 ing, while the teas may be planted about a foot 

 apart. 



Save a climber to cover the arch (designed by 

 yourself, not a store bought one) at the entrance to 

 your rose garden, and trail the others over your 

 paths in spots, where one will perhaps have to stoop 

 a little when passing under blossoming branches, to 

 find new beauty on the other side.
