ROSES FOR THE GARDEN 
DI AVTIMr^ The Ideal time to plant Roses to In 
rljAl^ I Il'lva. — thesprlng. Just as soon as the ground 
can be worked and after danger from frost is past. AU 
budded or grafted Hoses should be planted deeply so that 
the junction " B " (see cut) of stock and scion will be at least 
three Inches below the surface of ground "A." If this is 
done, there will be little danger of "suckerlng." which is the 
only objection offered against budded Roses. They are more 
vigorous, produce finer flowers, bear sooner and are just as- 
hardy and are even more permanent than own root plants. 
An open sunny position sheltered from north winds is desir- 
able. Roses will grow in any good, well-drained garden soil. 
To get the best results in quantity and quality of bloom, the 
bed should be prepared in the autumn; dig it to a depth of 
two to three feet, filling in with a mixtiu'e of sod from an 
old pasture and well rotted cow manure. For Hybrid 
Perpetuals, use a sod from clay loam and for Hybrid Teas a 
somewhat Ughter soil is preferable. Hybrid Tea varieties 
can be set 18 inches apart and Hybrid Perpetuals 2 feet 
apart. Be siu-e and tread the soil firmly about the roots, 
and give a thorough watering if the soil is dry. Keep the 
soil cultivated diiring the summer months; If this is done 
weekly, watering is all that will be necessary. 
DDITWTM/^ Start pruning in early spring, begin- 
jri\.»JlNli>Vj. nlng with Hybrid Perpetuals. Re- 
move two-year-old wood and prune down the previous 
season's growth at least one-half. Cut back weak 
growth severely. All canes should be cut off about 
a quarter of an inch above an outside bud. Hybrid Teas are 
better not pruned till they first start growth. Dead or un- 
healthy wood is readily detected and can be cut away. They 
do not need as severe pruning as Hybrid Perpetuals. CUmtj- 
Ing or Rambler Roses require no pruning beyond cutting 
out the very old or dead wood, or to make the growth con- 
form to the space to be covered. 
WINTER PROTECTION.-?^e%''ef;^ 
and Hybrid Tea roses need winter protection nearly every- 
where in Canada. One of the best methods is to neap up 
the soil about the base of the plants to a height of twelve to 
fifteen inches, and then bend the tips of the canes over and 
have them held down with soil. If available, some ever- 
green boughs thrown over the canes will help to protect 
them. On the prairies the whole bush should oe protected 
with soil. 
ril^FACiF^ We advise sprayings with Aphlne In 
l7lJt:jt\tJl-tJt the spring while the plants are stiU 
in a dormant state; this will protect them from the scale. 
Use Aphlne for green and black fly during growing season. 
Dry Bordeaux mixture may bemused for mildew and all_other 
fungus .diseases. 
The varieties we offer are two-year 
old, fleld-grown, low budded plants 
"and if planted as directed will pro- 
duce the finest flowers the first year
