NEW BABY RAMBLER ROSE 



THE EVERBLOOMING DWARF CRIMSON RAMBLER 



This beautiful new French rose flowers in clusters of from thirty to 

 fifty blooms. They are in every way like those of the Climbing Crim- 

 son Rambler and are produced perpetually. We have closely 

 watched this new Rose in our greenhouses since November. 1903, and 

 they have never been without flowers from that time until the pres- 

 ent day. We had a large bed in our grounds and the plants were 

 constantly in bloom until November — even in the hottest weather. 

 This is a remarkable record. We have grown thousands of varieties 

 of Roses but have never met one that possessed all these remarkable 

 qualities combined. 



It is the Rose for bedding out. No garden, no matter how small or 

 large, should be without it. There is no Rose in existence that equals 

 it in freedom of bloom and perpetual blooming qualities. It grows 

 about 2% feet high.

129. Crimson Rambler, before 

 pruning 



require less pruning. Cut off, before the 

 buds open in the spring, one-fifth to one- 

 third of last 

 year's growth, 

 and if the plants 

 are established 

 cut off flowering 

 wood that has 

 become old and 

 feeble. In the 

 summer take 

 out most of the 

 dead wood that 

 has flowered, 

 pinch out the 

 weak growth 

 and train the 

 new' wood 

 to cover bare places. This treatment will 

 give vigorous plants and plenty of roses. 



Tender tea roses may be cut 

 back at the beginning of the sea- 

 son and pruning continued while 

 the season lasts. 



A general rule is "cut back 

 weak -growing 

 strong growers n 



Roses are benefited 

 taken up every four or 

 The roots and top: 

 pruned before 

 they are reset. If 

 they have not 

 flourished, choose 

 a new spot where 

 they can have the 

 following condi- 

 tions: no build- 

 ings or vegetation 

 to overshadow 

 them; soil clayey

so much that 



there is danger of their drying out. An 



east or north slope where there is a fence to 



break strong winds would be an ideal spot. 



A New Way to Render Tomatoes 

 Immune from Disease 



A RECENT experiment reported in the 

 Journal of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society of England indicates that tomato 

 and cucumber plants can be rendered im- 

 mune to three diseases that are making havoc 

 with them in greenhouses, viz., leaf blotch 

 (Cercospora melonis), Dendryphium comosum 

 (a fungus common in manure, not previously 

 known as parasitic on these plants), and 

 mildew (Cladosporium julvum, the great 

 enemy of tomatoes in the southern United 

 States), by watering the plants every third 

 day with a solution consisting of one part of 

 copper sulfate in 7,000 parts of rain-water. 

 In the experiments described the plants were 

 watered in the afternoon and the soil was 

 soaked thoroughly. This solution does not 

 destroy the spores, as all three species of 

 parasites were germinated in it, and it was 

 assumed that it might modify or arrest the 

 production of some substance in the leaves 

 which favored the entrance of the fungus 

 into the plant. S. Fraser.
