FERTILIZERS 
How to Use Hen Manure 
| Pas MANURE furnishes fertilizing ele- 
ments in more concentrated form than 
any other manure. Owing to its concentra- 
tion, it should be mixed with some less active 
material to increase its bulk. The character 
of material to add depends toa great extent on 
whether the garden soil is light and sandy 
ora heavy clay. For either light or heavy 
soils it may be mixed with wood ashes, 
using one to three parts of hen manure to 
one of ashes. For light, sandy soils with 
little humus mix with three or four times as 
much rich loam or leaf mold. For heavy 
clay soils use a sandy loam in place of the 
leaf mold, or road dust, or even coal ashes. 
Either of these composts may be applied as 
top-dressings or directly to the plants. Ona 
heavy clay loam soil, I have used the refuse 
from the hennery composted with wood and 
coal ashes in the proportions mentioned and 
one part of this mixture was incorporated 
with ten parts of stable manure.

Forcing Roses for Easter 
O into the garden now, dig up a few roots 
of hybrid perpetual and rambler roses, 
and put themin the cellar. Bring them into 
heat (or the window will do), about January 
15th. Prune to leave only three or four 
buds to a cane, on the hybrid perpetuals; 
do not prune the ramblers. Be sure to 
start them at a low temperature—say 50°. 
The Crimson Rambler rose can be had in 
flower in ten weeks from day of starting. 
Syringe the canes each clear morning. 
When the buds start raise the temperature 
to 58°. It will take thirty days for flowers 
to develop after the buds break.

Watch for red spider, now that heavy 
firing is being given—syringing the plants 
with clean water; using considerable force, 
and striking the under side of the leaves will 
clear them off. 
Expect a sudden sharp, cold, windy night! 
It will usually injure plants in the small 
greenhouse; but often its effects can be 
minimized by “‘steaming down”? late in the 
evening. After sundown, well wet the heat- 
ing pipes, and so fill the house with vapor.

form in any cracks. 
Buy tobacco stems, to spread upon the 
greenhouse benches, around the flower pots.
