Last .summer my bed of several 

 kinds of Tea Roses yielded great fat 

 buds and fragrant blossoms, after I 

 had safely tucked their roots into the 

 rich bed prepared for them. Roses 

 are benefited by all the old manure 

 you use. When preparing the bed I 

 always think of the old lady who 

 gives this receipt for rhubarb pie. 

 "Put in all the sugar your conscience 

 will let you, and then shut your eyes 

 and put in a double handful more." 

 I have found this applies excellently 

 to the manure for roses.

JULY AND AUGUST ROSES. 



My roses are not called "July and 

 August roses," but "ever-blooming 

 roses." That they bloom during these 

 months is beyond doubt proof of 

 ever-blooming qualities. With few 

 exceptions no other roses are worth 

 cultivating. There are classes that 

 bloom in July and August, and there 

 are individual roses in each class that 

 excel in continuous blooming. These 

 are now in full view. They face me 

 as I write. I could cut a bushel of 

 blooms from spring to fall, any day, 

 from these rose vines and bushes. I 

 plant ever-bloomers, and always have 

 roses. No mode of culture, no art nor 

 science can accomplish the purpose 

 like the constitutional peculiarity that 

 makes a rose ever-blooming. Plant 

 these, and there will be roses all sum- 

 mer, as sure as the dew falls and the 

 sun rises. Suitable culture must be 

 given, but the same culture would not 

 attain the same end with any but 

 true ever-blooming roses. The names 

 are easily found in catalogues. They 

 are celebrated.

Summer flowers being arranged for, 

 in June one can plan for winter. 

 Cacti are always interesting and odd, 

 equally pretty the year around; they 

 require very little care, and many 

 varieties bloom young. Cuttings are 

 easily rooted if left a day to form a 

 callous before being placed in moist 

 sand. They can also be easily raised 

 from seed. Some people enjoy graft- . 

 ing different varieties of cacti ontaj 

 others, forming unique combinations. 

 In summer, cacti may be grouped in 

 their pots, on lawn or porch. They 

 need small pots, good drainage, rich 

 soil with one-third sharp sand, and 

 plenty of water and sunshine in, sum- 

 mer. Hardy varieties are nice in a 

 rockery. An indoor rockery may be 

 made, using an old sewing machine 

 frame or other stand, one having cas-
