which waterproofs all concrete and cement surfaces without de¬ 
stroying the distinctive texture of the cement. It becomes a part 
of the material over which it is applied and affords lasting pro¬ 
tection to the structure; preventing discoloration of interior and 
exterior surfaces caused by moisture corroding the metal lathing.

rose; Sunburst, a glorious yellow; Mme. 
Edouard Herriot (the Daily Mail rose), 
superb coral red, “the greatest new rose 
of recent years;” Chateau de Clos Vou- 
geot, dazzling crimson, extra free-flower¬ 
ing and hardy. 
Among the hybrid perpetuals there are 
not such a bewildering number of new 
sorts. General Jacqueminot, the old fa¬ 
vorite, brilliant scarlet “Jack” rose, and 
Frau Karl Druschki, an immense, pure 
white, probably head the list. Magna 
Charta, bright pink; Mrs. John Laing, 
soft pink; Ulrich Brunner, bright cherry 
red, and Paul Neyron, dark rose; Baron 
de Bonstetten, dark crimson; Clio, pink¬ 
ish white, are all old favorites. Gloire de 
Chedane Guinoisseau, a glorious, bright 
red, and George Arends, a pink form of 
Frau Karl Druschki, are two splendid 
new sorts of this class. 
Among the teas, Maman Cochet, deep 
pink; Papa Gontier, dark crimson; Sa- 
frano, saffron yellow; Perle des Jardins, 
deep yellow; Souvenir de Pierre Notting, 
Plan for a rose garden, showing an arrangement of 
grass plots in relation to the beds 
very deep yellow; Etole de Lyon, fresh, 
soft yellow, and White Maman Cochet, 
pure white, are all old favorites and 
fairly hardy, suitable for bedding along 
with the hybrids where proper winter 
protection is given. Harry Kirk, deep, 
sulphur yellow; Molly Sharmon Craw¬ 
ford, a splendid white, and W. R. Smith, 
ivory white with trace of pink, are three 
splendid, extra-hardy new teas that 
should not be omitted. 
For best results the rose garden must 
be carefully looked after. It needs atten¬ 
tion in two ways, particularly care, win¬ 
ter protection and pruning. 
Winter protection is not a difficult mat¬ 
ter. Remember that the purpose of win¬ 
ter protection is not to prevent the roots 
from freezing, but to keep them frozen 
throughout the winter and prevent their 
starting into growth too soon in the 
spring. While it is well to gather the 
material for the winter mulch quite early 
in the fall, it should not be put in place 
until after the first severe frosts. Either 
dry loose manure or dry leaves make 
good mulching material. From four to 
eight inches should be put on, according 
to the severity of the climate. Boards or
