FALL PLANTING OF ROSES. 



I find from experience that the fall of 

 the year is the best time for planting roses, 

 both monthly and hybrid perpetual. First 

 spade the bed deep and put in manure 

 from the barn, old, weW pulverized from 

 the cow barn being best, as it does not 

 fire them, causing them to die the first 

 summer, as that from the horse bam will 

 sometimes do. Spade the manure well 

 into the soil and plant the roses when the 

 ground is not too wet, mulching well on top 

 of ground with dry grass or leaves to keep 

 the ground from freezing around the roots. 

 I have the following which I find very- 

 good for out door planting: monthly; Prin- 

 cess Bonnie, the queen, Etoil de Lyonaise, 

 Francisca Kruger,pink la France and Cath- 

 erine ]\Iermet, polyantha roses, little white 

 pet, ver}- profuse bloomer; PinkSoupert, 

 Clotilde Soupert and Perle de Ore are good 

 bloomers \\-ith me. Running roses, Mare- 

 chal Neil and meteor planted together to 

 mingle their pretty blooms of yellow and 

 crimson in the rambling over the piazza. 

 Hybrid perpetuals, General Jacqueminot 

 and Madam Plantier I had also.

AN EXPERIENCE WITH OLEANDERS. 



I should like to tell }'ou what I know 

 about the oleander, which grows very 

 luxuriantly in this cit}-. It is a very hardy 

 plant and requires but little care. It 

 grows abundantly on Sullivan's island, 

 both the pink and white varieties, and 

 requires no attention. About four years 

 ago m}' daughter put a iew branches in a 

 jar of water and at the end of two months 

 the}' had long roots on them. We planted 

 them in the 3'ard and now the tree is over 

 eight feet in height and about twent3'-seven 

 feet in circumference, and has been cov- 

 ered ^\-ith double pink flowers since May. 

 At first the flowers were a light pink, but 

 now they are a deep rose color. We live 

 in the western part of the city, and when 

 the tide is XQry high the salt water comes 

 up through the drains, but it does not
