THE GARDE MHO WORLD 
December 2, 1905. 
garden line exactly where yoir intend to make the 
row of plants, then cut out a trench of soil about 
3 in. deep alongside of the line. Previous to com¬ 
mencing planting, the old plants should be broken 
into pieces of small size and as nearly uniform as 
possible. Then commence at one end of the 
trench laying the straggling old roots and stems 
along the trench. Cover tIre steins close to the 
plant with some soil, making it firm with the 
hands and then lay another piece with the roots 
and stems again extending along the trench. 
Each plant should be 12 in. from the next in the 
line. If you proceed in this way to the end of 
the trench you can make a very neat line, even 
with these old plants. You can then tread firmly 
on every side of the line of plants, fill up the 
trench with soil and again tread it firmly. 
Finally, level the ground around the plants and 
make it- look as neat as possible. Xext year it 
would be well to raise young plants from cuttings 
inserted in sandy soil made up in the form of a 
bed in a cold frame about the end of June or the 
beginning of July. This is the way to get the 
neatest and best young plants. They would be 
thoroughly rooted by this time of the year when 
Pinks can be placed' in their permanent positions 
to bloom. 
Straggling Juniper. 
For many years an Irish Juniper was the pride 
of bur garden, but during the past two years the 
branches have been falling about. Can this be 
remedied in anyway? (S. Hendry.) 
All Junipers of the upright habit of the Irish 
Yew, including that of various other coniferous 
trees, are liable to fall about after a number of 
years. The stems may get blown out of their 
positions by the wind' if exposed, and snow is 
even more likely to bring this about if there hap-, 
pens to be a heavy fall of it and rather wet 
during the night time. If there is any strong 
central stem in the tree, all the others might be 
looped to it by means of tar-cord. Should there 
not be a strong enough stem, it will be necessary 
to drive a pole down the centre, not necessarily a 
very thick one, but sufficiently strong to link the 
plant into one columnar piece. With a little 
care you can make a plant look as neat and tidy 
as ever it was, and if there should be gaps in any 
part of it you can always pull over some shoots 
or stems so as to fill up that gap. This you 
should do as neatly as possible; but, in any case, 
the next year’s growth will make it closer and 
quite neat' if you make a proper job in tying the 
stems into position. 
Eose Plants Dried Up. 
I bought some Roses at a sale, but when I got 
home and untied them they seemed very much 
dried up and shrivelled. I planted them tem¬ 
porarily, not knowing exactly what to do. Any 
opinion about this would be gratefully received. 
(Jacqueminot.) 
Roses are frequently subjected to such un¬ 
favourable conditions under the circumstances you 
mention, and it will be necessary to adopt the 
plan given below in all such cases where the 
roots and even the stems look shrivelled on re¬ 
ceiving them. Take out a trench in the . garden 
and lay the Roses in their full length in the 
bottom of the trench. Only a few should be laid 
in one heap so that the soil might come in con¬ 
tact with all the branches. Then cover them up 
or bury them with soil, and leave them in that 
position for a week or ten days. The withered 
stems will absorb the moisture of the soil, and 
become fairly plump if they have not been out 
of the soil for too long a period. After a week 
or ten days examine them, and if the stems have 
become plump you can then proceed to plant 
them in their permanent positions.
