ing and apply the hellfl'ore solution before any niist-hief 

 has been done and repeat later, should any evidt-iu-fs of 

 his presence bt:^ detected. This aggressive offender is 

 the larva of a small winged moth, and the presence of 

 any insect of this sort in the vicinity of a Rose should 

 alwiiys be regarded with suspicion. 



Tln.^ Ijark louse, or ^vhite scale, survives the winters 

 and is usually foun<l on o1<1w<km1. It can best be treated 

 before the growth l)egins in the s]>ring. A solution of 

 fifteen grains i.>f coj-rosive sviltlimate t() one pint of 

 water, brushed over the stallvs wherever the lice harl)or, 

 will speedily destroy :dl. As corrosive sublimate is a 

 very powerful poison, great care should be taken in its 

 use.

The Hybrid Wichuraiana.s look promising, but have 

 not been tested Ijy the writer. 



It is not intended that thi.s list is by any means com- 

 plete. There must be many good Koses that will do well 

 under favorable conditions of which the writer has no 

 personal knowled^^e. The collection is sufliciently laro-e 



however, for a beginning, and any one 

 V who has the time, energy and means may 



add to it, if he can hear disappointment 

 cheerftilly If one in a dozen of the highly lauded va- 

 rieties in the dealers' catalogues prove satisfactory, the 

 experimenter should be well satisfied. He can dig out 

 and throw away the other eleven and try it again, in the 

 hope that he may find a new queen worthy of his hom- 

 age. 



Mtich of the charm of growing Roses is derived from 

 the accurate knowledge of each variety by name. Yet 

 few amateurs ever aceomplLsh this, chiefly hecause the 

 labels have been lost or misplaced, and not infrequently 

 a plant hecomes known to the cultivator by a name be- 

 longing to a neighboring specimen whose label has been 

 misplaced, and replaced on the wrong plant. To obviate 

 this a record should be made in a book kept for the pur- 

 pose, with a chart for each bed. This should be done at 

 once after the plants are set out and before the labels 

 have become detached. Many vexatious mistakes might 

 be prevented by some stich plan as the following:

7 to 12. JMargaret Ilickson,

Garden Koses near Chicago, -Climatic conditions 

 surrounding the bluff lauds bordering Lake Michi- 

 gan, some twenty miles north of Chicago, are not 

 congenial to the succe.ssful cultivation of outdoor Roses 

 as a class, and only those possessing the most robust 

 constitution among the Hybrid Perpetuals should be 

 gro^^^l. Ample winter protection must be given along 

 the lines indicated in the article in this work entitled 

 Winter Proleelion. The soil is all that could be de- 

 sired, being a rich yellow clay loam. The trouble seems 

 to be in the severity of the winters, where heavy falls 

 of snow are infrequi^nt, and the s]n-ings late and'flckle, 

 warm winds from the southwestern prairies alternating 

 with chilling moisture-laden breezes from the lake. 



The beds are excavated to a depth of 2 ft., good 

 flrainage given, and then tilled with a compost of rotted
