t l„. average man could hardly pay liis own 
wages. We have sold some to people 
wiio come in their cars and pick wind¬ 
falls themselves. Then fruit growers in 
other States are rushing fruit into our 
market in a frantic effort to get rid of it. 
li does not do us much good to run a 
truckload into market and find several 
,-arloads from the Hudson Valley or from 
Pennsylvania dumped upon us in *uch

•it a low price, while the outside fruit 
iirts less than cost. On top of that comes 
the threat from Washington to quaran¬ 
tine New Jersey on account of the new 
Japanese beetle and corn-borer. Such a 
quarantine would prohibit us from ship¬ 
ping goods out of the State, while the rest 
,,f the country will he free to fill us up. 
We have raised good crops this year—the 
host, on the whole, we have ever grown, 
hut prices have been lower than for many 
years. As I have said dozens of times 
before. I am enough of a sport to take 
mv chances with a smile, so long as the 
consumers receive benefit when I lose. 
In such au event the surplus acts like 
mi advertisement. People oat more and 
we get back when conditions change a 
little. There is nothing of that sort this 
year. I feel that we are being robbed. 
Mini, what is even worse, being posted as 
liars and profiteers to prevent our mak¬

Rooting Roses from Cuttings 
On page 1345 there is au inquiry from 
W. II. of Lakewood, N. J.. nbout rootiug 
rose slips. We have succeeded after 
many failures in rootiug roses from cut¬ 
tings from grafted roses, as well as from 
other kinds. We are only amateur rose- 
growers. We have about 150 rose bushes 
in our garden, and of these we have root¬ 
ed one-tenth. During the past severe 
Winter we lost a few choice rose 'hushes, 
Imt in most cases we had cuttings rooted 
from these same bushes. Besides, the 
Hybrid Tea roses are apt to bloom them¬ 
selves to death, and it is well to keep 
them renewed by rooting cuttings from 
them. 
Our method is this: Pull off a small 
branch from the rose. bush, which will 
leave a sort of heel on the cutting.. Dig 
a hole six or seven inches deep, according 
to flic length of the cutting, and in the 
garden where we want the plant to stay. 
Plant, so that the top of the cutting will 
lie about two inches above the ground; 
fill in the hole half way. tamping well 
around the cutting, and invert a glass 
fruit jar over it. sinking the jar half way 
down and banking the earth around it 
slightly. A cracked or broken jar will 
do very well for this purpose. Ciur fam¬ 
ily declare that we have broken the jars 
purposely so as to have enough for the 
beloved garden. There are enough there 
to justify that conclusion. Keep the jar 
over the cutting, if alive, until Spring, 
and all danger of frost is past. Septem¬ 
ber is the time recommended for rooting 
rose cuttings, but we root them from May 
until September. 
There would be objection to using the 
root-cutting method for grafted roses, as 
the graft is on Manetti or dog rose 
stock. We find that while the grafted 
rose bushes are generally large aud 
thrifty plants, the roots send up suckers 
which have to be cut off repeatedly. 
a. h. w, 
Tt. N.-Y.—Of course, one would not 
take root cuttings from grafted or budded 
roses, but some families, such as Moss 
and Briar roses, are considered difficult 
to propagate from cuttings of thp wood, 
or layers, while they are propagated 
readily from root cuttings.

S CALECIDE controls Pear Paylla, when 
applied in the Fall, by killing- the adults 
before they lay their eggs. (After they 
lay their eggs in the Spring it is too late.) 
Scalecide also controls fire blight by penetrat¬ 
ing the diseased tissues and killing the hold¬ 
over canker from which fire blight is spread. 
It is not only a contact insecticide for scale, but 
has fungicidal and germicidal properties too. 
it invigorates Tree Growth 
The invigorating effect of Scalecide is noted in 
increased terminal growth; larger, darker foli¬ 
age on bearing trees; and the holding of the 
foliage later in the Fall, thus accumulating 
starch and sugar which results in a plumper 
fruit spur and insures a larger crop the follow- 
ing year. Those who have used Scalecide and 
lime-sulfur side by side claim that Scalecide 
gives greater yields of fruit — in one case 58%. 
Reduces The Cost Of Labor 
Though Scalecide costs more per gallon than 
lime-sulfur, this is much more than offset by 
B. G. PRATT CO. 
50 Church Street 
Manufacturing Chemists 
the saving of material and labor. One barrel 
of Scalecide, making 800 gallons of spray, 
will cover, until they drip, as many trees as 
three and a half barrels of lime-sulfur, which 
make 1600 gallons of spray. And of course 
you can apply 800 gallons of Scalecide in much 
less time than 1600 gallons of lime-sulfur. 
A Pleasure To Use It 
Scalecide is soothing and antiseptic to the skin; 
it does not injure even the eyes; it is non- 
poisonous to man or beast; and being an oil, 
it makes the pump run easier and does not 
clog the spray nozzle. It is a pleasure to use it! 
The Demand Is Heavy 
The past year many fruit growers were dis¬ 
appointed because they could not get Scale¬ 
cide. This year, though we have doubled our 
factory capacity, we anticipate difficulty in meet¬ 
ing the demand. Order early and avoid disap¬ 
pointment. Write today for our free booklet,
