(Concluded from page 14) 

 garden soil with a mixture of sand and 

 leaf mold is very good. The pots should 

 be well drained and kept in a sunny loca- 

 tion. After the plants begin to send up 

 shoots they should be pinched back and 

 all buds kept of? if they are intended for 

 w^inter blooming. In October plants 

 should be brought into the house and set 

 in a cool sunny window. Apply liquid 

 manure at intervals of two weeks to help 

 produce fine large flowers throughout the 

 whole winter. 



Pennsylvania. A. W. Newcomer. 



[ Few plants have taken such rapid strides 

 toward perfection as has the carnation during the 

 last few years. The newer varieties of today are 

 simply magnificent as compared with what were 

 considered fine only a short time ago. It is a 

 beautiful flower and when grown along the lines 

 you mention is not difficult to handle.] 



PRUNING ROSES. 



Much of the success with roses depends 

 upon the manner in which the plants are 

 pruned. The most necessary pruning of 

 the year is in the spring. All roses of 

 whatever class should then pass under 

 the pruning knife. The work must not 

 be done too early in the season, however, 

 otherwise some of the blooming branches 

 of the summer roses might be unwisely 

 removed. The development of new 

 branches and new buds will then be per- 

 mitted and the blooming will continue 

 until autumn frosts. 



Kentucky. Mrs. L. A. McDonald. 



[ How few seem to think that a rose should be 

 pruned, if the appearance of the majority of rose 

 bushes may be taken as evidence. The rose 

 responds most readily to careful pruning and those 

 who have not tried it should commence this 

 spring.]
