HOW TO GROW ROSES — Continued. 



BLACK SPOT — A fungous disease, appearing as its 

 name indicates as a black spot upon the leaf, eventually 

 turning yellow and falling. It rarely occurs in the early 

 part of the season, and the Teas are almost, but not quite, 

 exempt from its ravages. The best preventative if your 

 bushes have been troubled by it in the past is spraying in 

 April with Bordeaux Mixture before the foliage has de- 

 veloped and not while the flowers are in bloom, because of 

 the discoloration of the foliage. The disease usually ap- 

 pears at the base of the plant and works upwards, so a 

 watch should be kept and as soon as any leaves appear 

 affected with this disease they should be pulled off and 

 taken entirely away from the balance of the plants. If 

 this is thoroughly done it will usually hold the disease in 

 check. 



HARDINESS — Hardiness in a Rose is a matter of which 

 no one can speak with positive certainty, because the con- 

 dition of the weather as a rule prescribes the hardiness of 

 a plant, as quite frequently plants that have been out year 

 after year will be winter killed by unusual conditions. As 

 stated elsewhere the hardiness of the different varieties of 

 plants can be depended upon to be as near accurate as it 

 is possible for anyone to determine. 



^KEROSENE EMULSION— To two quarts of kerosene 

 add one of slightly sour milk; agitate and dilute with 

 twenty parts of soft water. 



TOBACCO SOLUTION— Boil the leaves or stems of 

 tobacco and dilute to the color of weak tea.

 and one of the best, with full directions for use. Two 

 sizes. Price, 13 cents and 28 cents each, postpaid. 



BUG KILLER — A new preparation for killing all kinds 

 of bugs and pests that attack Roses. Box sufficient for 

 two gallons of spray, 50 cents, 3 for SI. 25, postpaid.

 fected with mildew and all fungous diseases. Can be dis- 

 solved and used as a spray. '4 -lb. box, 35c (makes 5 gal- 

 lons liquid), postpaid. 



WALKER'S EXCELSIOR PLANT FOOD— Comes as a 

 boon. Its use is so simple, the good results so positive,

 odorless preparation, combining in a highly concentrated 

 and soluble form ever\' element required in plants to pro- 

 duce vigorous, healthy growth, and profusion of flowers.

How to Select the Proper Roses 



FOR THE EXTREME NORTH— ^XAhere the winters are 

 long and severe, such as the Hybrid Perpetuals on pages 

 54 to 60, the Moss, Rugosa, Wichuraiana, Climbers on 

 pages 66 to 73 will withstand winters without any pro- 

 tection, but better results are secured if protection is given. 

 Such Roses as the Hybrid Teas, Souperts, Baby Ramblers, 

 can be successfully grown and the Teas if given proper 

 protection. 



FOR THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST— Any of the 



Roses offered in this book, but the Teas and Hybrid Teas, 

 Baby Ramblers, Souperts, Polyanthas, and Bourbon Chinas 

 are the most suitable. Climbing Roses on page 74, Climb- 

 ing Maman Cochet on pages 68, and those offered on pages 

 66 to 74.
