ROSE CULTURE 
Roses do best in a stiff soil wliere the elay is elose 
to the surface. In sandy soils it is advisable to add 
elay to the soil. In any kind of soil the addition of 
peat moss, eow manure, and hone meal is henefieial. 
Roses are heavy feeders and should he well fertilized. 
There are two diseases and one pest that give most 
trouble with roses in the South: (1) Black Spot, a 
fungus growth which causes hlack spots on the 
leaves. The leaves later turn yellow and fall off. 
Black Spot can he prevented by spraying with Bor¬ 
deaux Mixture at regular intervals of a week or ten 
days. It is worst in hot, damp weather. 
(2) 31ildew. May he controlled by dusting with 
“Dusting Suli>liur.” 
(3) Thrills. An insect which feeds on the hlooms.

tlie Bordeaux 3Iixture will control both Black Spot 
and Tlirips.
