HOW TO FEED ROSE PLANTS 
Those fine roses which experi¬ 
enced gardeners grow are not the 
result of chance, but are produced 
by supplying the plants with plen¬ 
ty of food and moisture. If you 
would have blossoms as fine, you 
must copy their methods. 
Roses of the hybrid tea, or ever- 
blooming type, do not like com¬ 
pany. They should be grown in a 
bed which is free from the roots 
of trees and shrubs, and apart from 
other plants. Prepare the soil of 
the rose bed to a depth of two feet 
if possible, never less than twelve 
inches. Unless the soil contains 
good quantities of organic material 
as evidenced by its friable condi¬ 
tion, decomposed organic material 
matter such as compost, or leaf 
mould, should be incorporated in it. 
The rose bed must be well 
drained. A heavy soil is preferable 
because it holds moisture well. 
Since a heavy soil drains slowly, 
unless the rose bed is on a slope 
or in an elevated position, artificial 
drainage should be provided. 
At the time rose plants are set 
out a complete plant food should 
be mixed with the soil which is 
then placed about them, at the rate 
of one heaping tablespoonful per 
gallon of soil. 
For established rose plants an 
application of plant food should be 
made in the spring at the rate of 
four pounds per hundred square 
feet, or one rounded tablespoon per 
square foot. Cover the ground 
around each plant as far out as the 
top growth extends. This measures 
approximately the spread of the 
roots. Six to eight weeks later a 
two-pound application should be 
made. Do not apply plant food after 
August 1. As an aid in retaining 
soil moisture a mulch of rotted 
leaves or peat moss should be 
maintained. 
We find that roses require a 
great deal of water. So it is best 
that they be soaked at least every 
other day, and a heavy syringing 
of water with hose to keep the foli¬ 
age cleaned and also to keep insect 
life in check.

MISTAKES OFTEN MADE WITH 
PLANT FOOD 
It is a mistake to consider plant 
food and the manner in which 
plants feed as mysterious. There is 
no mystery or magic in either. 
Plant food is a product scientifi¬ 
cally prepared to supply necessary 
food elements which are likely to 
be deficient in the soil elements 
which are necessary for the growth 
of all plants. A complete plant food 
insures that your plants will have 
at their command a balanced food 
ration. 
However, plant food alone will 
not compensate for other unfavor¬ 
able conditions. It will not over¬ 
come the effects of poor drainage, 
improper soil texture, insufficient 
moisture, or lack of sunlight. 
Plant food should be evenly ap¬ 
plied. Uneven distribution causes 
spotty growth, and also introduces 
the possibility of injury through 
overfeeding. In applying modern, 
quick-acting plant foods, it is nec¬ 
essary to read carefully the instruc¬ 
tions furnished with them, and fol¬ 
low them exactly, to avoid the pos¬ 
sibility of error. 
In the case of making a new seed 
bed or preparing garden soil, the 
plant food should be mixed with 
the top soil. This can usually be 
done when stirring the soil to kill 
weeds, or to level and smooth the 
soil prior to sowing. Do not apply 
plant food in layers in the soil.

cel post or express charges.
