How to Keep Roses Healthy. It is 
very important to keep your plants healthy 
and vigorous and free from disease and 
insects. If troubled with plant lice, spray 
vigorously, covering thoroughly every part 
of the foliage with sulpho-tobacco soap or 
kerosene emulsion, made by mixing two 
parts kerosene with one part of sour milk. 
Dilute with twenty parts of soft water. 
Bordeaux Mixture is one of the best pre¬ 
ventives of mildew and black spot, which 
are fungus diseases, usually caused by con¬ 
tinuous wet weather. By careful attention 
the diseases and insects may be kept down 
and plants will reward you with their 
beautiful blooms and foliage. 
For trellis, porch or arbor the Climbing 
Boses produce a most wonderful covering 
of delicate foliage and delightful flowers 
and a hedge of roses is beautiful, adding 
greatly to making the home grounds more 
beautiful.
