WHEN BUDDING YOUR ROSES 
Q UITE one of the most interesting occupa¬ 
tions of the summer garden is the bud¬ 
ding of Roses. The best months in which to 
carry out the plan are July and August. Cloudy, 
and somewhat moist weather should be chosen 
if possible. Where the conditions are hot and 
dry the work should be undertaken in the early 
morning hours before the sun is powerful. 
The stocks to be budded must be well-rooted

BACK LAWN EFFICIENCY 
T HERE is a correct way to do everything, even to hanging up 
clothes. And the Hill Champion Clothes Dryer provides 
the convenient and efficient method for doing this. 
The clothes may be hung up and taken down from one spot, elim¬ 
inating lugging a heavy basket up one line and down another. The 
revolving arms take care of this by bringing all the lines within easy 
reach. None but the best materials used; made to last a lifetime.

sirable to select the buds from shoots that are 
PRELIMINARY STEPS 
Prepare the bud for insertion by holding between 
the thumb and finger and removing a piece of the 
wood with the tip of the knife (above left). The 
incision in the stock should be as near the junction 
of the stem with the shoot as possible, make about 
an inch in length in the form of a T and carry 
well down to the wood of the shoot (above right) 
the same age as those which form the branches 
of the stock. It is easy to come to a decision on 
this point by examining the size of the branches. 
To cut the bud, use a sharp knife (a proper 
budding tool is much the best.) In cutting out 
the bud remove it with its leaf stalk attached; 
there should also be a portion of the wood and 
a certain amount of bark both above and below 
the actual bud. The bud, with its bark attach¬ 
ment, may measure about three quarters of an 
inch in length. 
Now proceed to make the incision in the stock. 
This must be about an inch in length and as 
near the junction of the stem with the shoot as 
possible. The cut is made in the form of a T and 
this is carried well down to the wood of the shoot. 
The accompanying picture shows how to prepare 
INSERTING THE BUD 
Raise the bark on one side of the incision 
pushing in one side of the bud just under 
the lifted portion, then carefully lift bark on 
other side and the bud will drop into place
