STRAWBERRIES FOR PROFIT 
No crop will give you more money per acre or per hour of labor, 
than Strawberries. A good profit is sure. A large profit is possible 
if you follow the right methods. 
Allen’s Book of Berries for 1924 gives simple understandable infor¬ 
mation about growing and marketing Strawberries. It tells how 
to select and prepare the land, how and when to set the plants, 
how to cultivate, what varieties to use, and where to obtain good 
dependable true-to-name plants, at a reasonable price. 
Strawberries are Brown chiefly because they yield such large and sure profits 
but they also are the first crop to bring in money in the Spring. The big lus¬ 
cious red berries are favorites in the home garden, and the work can be done 
by women, children, amateurs as well as commercial growers." 
Free-to-all. Allen’s Book of Berries for 1924 will be sent 
free to anyone interested. The most complete book of its 
kind—thoroughly reliable. Write today for your copy.

Roses on Northern Farms 
One of the first flowers to be planted 
in any garden is the rose, and to read the 
catalogs one would think most roses 
would withstand our Vermont Winters, 
but it is the experience of my friends and 
myself that few even of the Hybrid 
Perpetuals are always hardy. 
First, in selecting a place for roses, it 
is better if they can be protected from the' 
north winds, and also if possible from 
the west; buildings, light board fences, 
or best and most picturesque of all, stone 
walls. The soil should be dug as deeply 
as possible, and well-rotted stable manure 
spaded in. Charcoal or soot will make 
darker colored foliage and flowers. Vis¬ 
itors often comment on the healthful ap¬ 
pearance of our roses and I reply “They 
are Jack’s,” as he always sees that they 
receive a mulch from the barn lot, and all 
the soot is used for top-dressing, as fast 
as it is removed from pipes and chimney. 
The beginner can usually obtain the 
hardy old-fashioned roses from neighbors, 
I do not know where they are catalogued; 
the old double creamy white, a low-grow¬ 
ing red, cinnamon, damask, and the briers, 
white, pink and yellow. They have finely 
cut foliage and the first rose to bloom 
here is the pink brier. 
The next additions to the rose border 
were some extremely double flowered 
small petalled ones called variously 
Prairie roses or Seven Sisters, as they 
bloom in clusters, a Persian Yellow was 
added and is hardy as the hardiest. 
The White Rambler is extremely hardy 
and the Crimson Ramblers die back some, 
but dainty Dorothy Perkins, planted be¬ 
side the house and trained to it, is a never 
failing friend. The comparatively new 
climbers, American Beauty, Paul’s Scar¬ 
let and American Pillar came through last 
Winter well, and Hiawatha and Silver 
Moon must be tried. 
The Japanese Rosa Rugosa varieties 
are all hardy that I know. They are of 
more shrub-like growth, of thicker, heavier 
foliage and have the showiest fruit of any 
roses I have seen. They are excellent for 
hedges and backgrounds. The Memorial 
roses and moss roses are also hardy. 
These will make a small beginning for 
the rose garden, but now we come to the 
aristocrats of the garden, the Hybrid 
Teas, and Hybrid Perpetuals, and this 
is the way I manage. These plants should 
arrive in April or early May and when 
removed from the package the roots 
should be placed in lukewarm water and 
set in the shade. I prefer to pot them 
towards night. I prefer a cereal box cut 
in two or birch-bark boxes and these set 
in a wooden box for the first home of the 
rose. First, a layer of charcoal, then 
good garden soil and neither sandy nor 
too heavy. Here they stay, and after a 
few days are gradually accustomed to 
sun and then to out-of-door life, and are 
set in the beds. Jacqueminot and Magna 
Charta have lived some years for a friend. 
They are in a sheltered place and earth 
is banked around them and the tops are 
bound into a shock of corn, or some small 
evergreens, for Winter protection. 
Marshall P. Wilder, Paul Neyron, Cap¬ 
tain Christy, survive two or three Win¬ 
ters, but at last sfieeumb, but they are 
worth the price at that. But I like best to 
bed out these roses, then in October, take 
a large wood pail or a small box a foot 
square, and lift the roses tenderly and set 
them in these receptacles, place them in 
an unheated room, then in December they 
can go to the cellar till March, although 
I prefer to keep mine in a cool room and 
keep them as nearly dormant as possible, 
light but not sun. and only water enough 
to prevent shrivelling. Then the latter 
part of March begin to encourage growth 
and they are ready for a Summer’s duty. 
Gruss an Teplitz, Prince Camille de Ro¬ 
han (this to me is the most beautiful of 
roses), My Maryland. Red Radiance. Bes¬ 
sie Brown, Clothilde Soupert and the old 
Champion of the World are all favorites. 
One secret of getting many blooms, is 
this: When the petals begin to fall, cut 
that branch severely, only leaving two or 
three leaves on that branch for new 
branches to start. Sometimes new 
branches will come without the terminal 
bloom bud. and these should be cut back 
the same. 
The slips are placed in water until cal¬ 
loused. or knobby cream-colored places 
form at the cut end. then set in earth 
and covered with a glass, will usually 
root. The Rambler bloom branches 
should be broken off with a “heel” and 
treated the same, and they are also 
easily layered. 
If one wishes to experiment on leaving 
them in the ground, a spot protected by a 
stone wall on north and west, or at the 
foot of a “wharfing wall” is ideal. Now 
cover the bed four or even six inches with 
strawy manure and then all the dead 
leaves you can spare and some brush over 
all to keep the leaves from blowing off.
