TREE ROSES 
When Tree Roses are planted at appropriate 
spots in your garden they give it an accent and 
atmosphere of distinction. Their strong S}4 foot 
stems and good big tops which seem to bloom more 
and better than the bush roses make a great sight 
throughout the season. 
For winter protection their roots should be loos¬ 
ened on one side so they can be laid down and cov¬ 
ered over with soil.

Fragrant Roses 
For the many who demand fragrance in their 
Roses a very large assortment is offered. Among 
those listed, there are very few that are not de¬ 
liciously scented. Souv. de Claudius Pemet almost 
wholly lacks this delightful quality while Mrs. W. 
C. Egan has only slight fragrance. In the Hybrid 
Perpetuals Frau Karl Druschki alone is odorless. 
I know of no other Hybrid Teas or Hybrid Perpetuals 
that do not please in this respect. 
The fragrance varies greatly in almost every va¬ 
riety. In some we may have the old-timy perfume, 
in others the dusky sweetness, in some a spicy fra¬ 
grance, or the penetrating gracious odors, or the re¬ 
freshing acid sweetness and the woodsy pungency of 
the Moss Roses. In the Sweetbriers even the foliage 
has the scent of summer apples. All Rose scents 
and yet how various. 
However, if you expect that fragrance in your 
blossoms there are several precautions for you to 
also observe. Try to enjoy the fragrance in the morn¬ 
ings instead of in the afternoons of hot sunny days. 
And then do not expect to get that delicious per¬ 
fume you used to know if you smoke considerably. 
Many of the finer senses of taste and smell are dead¬ 
ened by this habit so if you are not getting this 
pleasure that you expect ask yourself if you are 
giving the Rose a fair chance.
