THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 
May, 1908 
The one safe, convenient, and healthful method of disposing of kitchen waste, gar- 
bage, and refuse matter of all kinds, including human excrement, is to BURN it. 
Garbage cans freeze fullin winter. In summer they draw flies and bugs, at the same time emitting a 
vile aos in Spices the most assiduous care. They fill the air with stench and poison. This is true also of the privy vault 
or earth closet. € 
International Incinerator 
when placed in your basement or shed and connected with chimney or flue preserves a fresh, clean, 
sweet, healthy atmosphere. ‘The current of air passing through carries off the odor, causes rapid 
drying, and retards decomposition. 7 
A week’s accumulation can be reduced to ashes by a thirty to sixty minute fire, and 
there will be no odor or inconvenience. ee 
For many years people have found our fire closet of inestimable 
value in country homes, indeed, in every place in city and country 
where kitchen waste is created, and every place where human ex- 
crement accumulates through lack of sewers and running water. 
The International Incinerator is giving satisfaction in hos- 
pitals, hotels, private houses, summer resorts, seaside cottages, } 
factories, military, mining, and contractors’ camps. It has the 
highest endorsement of government officers, health commissioners, 
and physicians. Made of best sheet steel, and can be easily re- 
ii moved as desired.

that would otherwise be wasted. 
When thinning cotton, if it is growing - 
on thin soil, do not leave more than one 
stalk to every ten inches of row; if the soil 
is rich, the stalks should stand eighteen 
inches or two feet apart in the row. If 
cotton stands too thickly it makes more stalk 
and fewer bolls.

Ten Roses For Central Texas 
HE ten best and most continuous 
blooming roses in 1907 and also, as 
memory serves me, for several years pre- 
vious, for this part of the country were as 
follows: 
As a white rose Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 
has given more and better bloom, and has 
come through the past summer with fewer 
dead branches than Ivory, its nearest rival. 
In reds, Madame Masson is easily best, 
giving a few good roses at all times and 
more flowers for cutting than any other. 
Next in reds, comes Gruss an Teplitz, and 
then American Beauty, if favorably sit- 
uated so as not to get all the afternoon 
sun. 
The best pink is Baldouin (or Helen 
Gould) which has a natural vigor and energy 
that keeps it growing and blooming when 
all else save Pink Bedder have given up 
the struggle. am 
In yellow roses Marechal Niel is first 
and best. Being a climber it should hardly 
be classed with the bush type, yet it has no 
close competitor. Cloth of Gold and Solfa- 
terre come next but are not so productive 
of bloom. However, Marechal Niel needs 
to be budded on a vigorous stock of the 
Southern climbing type to give it force and 
energy, while all others mentioned do best 
on own roots. Lamarque is the best 
white climber, and Climbing Wooten the 
best red. 
THE THREE WINNERS 
The past summer, in particular, I kept 
in touch with two nurseries besides the 
grounds of which I have control. There 
are many excellent roses, of course, not in 
this list; yet if I could have but three roses, 
they would be Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, 
Madame Masson and Baldouin. They are 
hardy, thrifty and continuous bloomers, and 
stand hot suns and dry winds better than 
other varieties with which I am familiar.
