Planting Lawn and Border Roses 
The chief consideration in the 
planting plan for roses for land- 
scape effects is that the plants 
should be so spaced that when they 
reach maturity they will come to- 
gether without overcrowding. The 
habits of growth of the particular 
varieties chosen will be the deter- 
mining factor. The spacing 
should in general range from 2 
to 6 feet. Early spring planting 
is best in the extreme northern 
part of the United States and on 
the western plains where there are 
strong drying winds in the winter. 
In other regions fall planting is 
advantageous but not sufficiently 
so to warrant postponing planting 
from spring until autumn. When 
possible, however, it is well enough 
to push planting in the fall rather 
than to wait until spring. Spring 
planting should be done as soon 
as the ground is dry enough to 
work or when it springs apart af- 
ter being squeezed in the hand. 
Fall planting is best done as soon 
as the leaves have fallen from the 
trees and bushes. 
Keep the aphids or plant lice off 
the flowers and garden crops by 
frequent spraying with some tobac- 
co preparation. 
All roads of “service” lead to 
France. 
Stand behind the boys at the 
front — but not too far behind. 
Do not let the vegetables remain 
too thick in the row. Too many 
beets to the foot in the row is just 
as bad as weeds. Get the maxi- 
mum results from your ground by 
thinning and good care. 
Head lettuce requires cool, moist 
conditions for growth. Conse- 
quently it can be grown best in 
early summer and late fall. 
Late celery should be transplant- 
ed from seed box to cold frame. 
Two or three transplantings be- 
fore the plants go into the field 
make stockier and better rooted 
plants.
