ROSES, continued 
well established. But if these plants are allowed to 
grow until the following fall, and if they receive the 
proper treatment as to pruning, fertilization and 
cultivation, there will be no cause for complaint. 
Insects. — For aphis, thrips and other insects 
infesting Roses, spray plants with a solution of 
Sulpho-Tobacco Soap, or a two per cent solution of 
lime-sulphur. 
For Rose-Slugs, spray with hellebore or 
insect powder. 
For Rose-leaf Hopper, spray with insect 
powder, tobacco decoction or kerosene emulsion. 
Mildew.—This is caused by extremes of heat 
and cold, or by a continuance of damp, cold weather. 
Sprinkle the plants with water and dust them with 
soot, or spray with Bordeaux mixture, 3 — 9 — 50. 
Black Spot.—This is a fungous disease. All 
diseased leaves should be removed from the plant 
and those on the ground raked up and burned. 
Spray the plants with same strength of Bordeaux 
as recommended for mildew.
