It Kills Rose Bugs 
Strike Hard and 
At Once! 
Right now, the Rose Bugs decide for you whether or not you will 
be allowed to gather grapes next fall—unless you fight. Every 
one of these happy midsummer days sees a newly hatched army 
of these ferocious pests on the way to destroy your season’s work 
and hope—for just as fast as the newly born beauty of any kind 
of delicately petaled flower unfolds itself to delight the eye, Rose 
Bugs will be there to attack it and deprive you of your garden 
treasures.

BUG IT TOUCHES 
Every fore-handed gardener keeps on 
hand a can of the tested and proved 
Rose Bug remedy, the only effective 
helper in this fight against this fero¬ 
cious Rose Bug, as MELROSINE 
kills every bug it touches. Moreover, 
every Rose Bug killed now not only 
ends a present evil, but as the dead 
ones leave no descendants, you avoid a still greater menace for f=f=f 
the future. Indeed, several seasons of conscientious use of — L1 - 
MELROSINE have been known to rid the garden entirely of 
the Rose Bug.

the bud for insertion by holding between the 
thumb and finger and removing a piece of the 
wood with the tip of the knife. It is highly 
important that there should be no delay in placing 
the bud in position. The handle of a proper 
budding knife is useful at this time though an 
ordinary blade may be employed with care. 
First of all raise the bark on one side of the in¬ 
cision. Next push in one side of the bud just 
under the portion that has been lifted. With 
great care lift up the bark on the other side and 
it will then be found that the bud will drop into 
place. Press the bud gently back until it is 
stopped by the end of the incision. If there is 
any part overlapping at the other end, cut this 
away. 
All the operations should be carried out with 
the greatest possible expedition that is consistent 
FINISHING THE JOB 
■Grafting wax may be used to shelter the cut parts 
from the air but a simple and satisfactory method 
is to bind down carefully with a long strip of raffia 
with careful work. People who dawdle over their 
budding meet with poor success. 
Some gardeners use grafting wax after the 
budding operation, but this is not really needful. 
The simplest method is to tie the bud down with 
raffia, using a good long piece and binding so that 
ail the cut parts are sheltered from the air. It 
is very needful to do this thoroughly as any serious 
evaporation of moisture will hinder, and 
might even prevent, the union which it is desired 
to bring about. To get a well-shaped bush, every 
branch on the stock should be budded in the 
manner described.—S. Leonard Bastin. 
CHASE SOUR CHERRY AN 
IMPROVED MORELLO 
T HE Chase Sour Cherry, believed to have 
originated near Riga, Monroe County, New 
York, has proved so satisfactory on the grounds 
of the Experiment Station at Geneva that the 
Station fruit specialists are recommending that 
it be planted in place of English Morello, at pres¬ 
ent the standard late Sour Cherry for North 
America. The Chase is described as being of 
the same type of Cherry as the Morello but with 
fewer faults. Says the Station horticulturist: 
“The trees of the Chase are larger,’healthier, 
more spreading, and the branches do not droop 
as do those of Morello. The leaves are larger 
and the fruit better distributed. The cherries 
are larger; possess the same dark color and shape 
of the Morello, except with a deeper cavity; and 
ripen a little earlier, but are much milder in flavor 
and therefore pleasanter to eat out of hand than 
the sour, astringent Morello. The Chase is an 
improved Morello and should be planted in place 
of that well-known variety.”
