The soil should be clean and 
mellow, with fertilizer thor¬ 
oughly worked in, well rotted 
manure hein# the best. The 
plants should he unpacked as 
soon as received from the 
nursery and planted. If un¬ 
able to plant them immedi¬ 
ately upon receiving them, 
they should be heeled-in (bur¬ 
ied) in moist, loose earth, 
awaiting time to plant. In 
planting they should be set 2 
or 3 inches deeper than they 
stood in the nursery. l»ig the 
holes big enough so that the 
roots may be naturally spread 
out Make sure all tin* fibrous 
roois art* firmly packed by 
sifting and tramping. Be par¬ 
ticular to soak the fresh plant¬ 
ing and never allow it to dry 
out or the soil to cake. After 
planting throw up a small 
mound of earth 5 or <1 inches 
high around each plant. Then 
cut off the branches about 1 
inch above mound, leaving it 
this way for ten days or two. 
weeks, or until buds start to'; 
crow. Then the dirt mound 
«*an be raked down. Roses 
handled this way rarely fail 
to grow. If roses are planted 
with flu* tops left exposed to 
the sun and drying winds, 
they are almost sure to shriv¬ 
el before time for them to 
grow. Boses should be plant¬ 
ed trom IN to 24 inches apart. 
Kngosa roses are used in the 
same way as shrubs. Polyan- 
tha roses (Baby Ramblers) in 
massed beds or borders. They
