^ Frost frequently heaves rose-plants out of the ground. It 

 is most essential when their Winter protection is removed 

 to thoroughly tread in the soil around them. The heavier 

 the treader the better.

^ Spray roses that were badly infecfted with mildew la^ 

 Summer, as early as possible before Spring pruning, with 

 a solution composed of one ( 1 ) ounce of copper sulphate 

 (placed in a coarse bag) suspended in two gallons of water 

 and be sure to use only a wooden vessel for the mixture 33 

 Spray all the shoots and branches, being very particular to 

 thoroughly moi^en every part of the bark.

^ Do not give a sickly plant any liquid or artificial manure. 

 Provide ample water until it shows indication of recovering 

 and then it may be fed occasionally until it has absolutely 

 recovered.

^ Two tablespoonfuls of liquid ammonia added to a gallon 

 of water and applied to infe^ed areas for three or four evenings 

 will kill slugs and snails and do no harm to the plants. Du^- 

 ings of soot repeated every evening for ten days also will drive 

 them away.
