CLIMBING ROSES 
American Pillar A singleflowering variety of great beauty, which 
appeals to everyone. Flowers are enormous in size, three to four 
inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, with a clear white eye and 
cluster of yellow stamens. 
Climbing American Beauty Same color, size and fragrance as 
American Beauty, with the addition of the climbing habit. 
Paul’s Scarlet Climber No other Rose, in any class, can compare 
with this for brilliancy of color which is maintained until the petals 
fall. It is of strong climbing habit and perfectly hardy. 
Silver Moon Beautiful semi-double flowers four inches and over in 
diameter, pure white in color, petals of great substance, beautifully 
cupped, yellow stamens in the center add to its attractiveness. 
Dr. W. Van Fleet. The long pointed buds are of a rich flesh-pink 
on stems 12 to 18 inches long; splendid for cutting. Vigorous grower.

dark green, glossy, 
Primrose

Mary Wallace This is a pillar Rose making a fine strong, self- 
supporting plant 6 to 8 feet high, with large, glossy foliage, blooming 
with great freedom in spring and bearing considerable number of 
fine buds in summer and fall. Flowers very large, semi-double, clear 
rose-pink with salmon base. 
ROSE CULTURE 
TIME FOR PLANTING. In this intermountain region, the best 
time for planting is in the spring, immediately after the frost is out 
of the ground, and as soon as the ground can be worked nicely. 
How to Plant. The rose delights in an open, airy situation; all types 
are partial to clay loam, but will succeed in any ordinary soil if en- 
riched with well rotted barnyard manure. Dig up soil thoroughly 
to a depth of twelve to fiftees inches. Dig a hole sufficiently large 
to accomodate the root, and pour a half pail of water into the hole; 
in filling, shake the plant slightly so that the soil may fall evenly 
around the roots; this avoids cavities. Firm the soil well around the 
plant in order that it may be solid. Be sure that the buds or grafts, 
that is where the lower branches begin, are at least 2 inches belew 
the surface of the soil. Don’t fai] to prune off the branches as 
soon as planted. Bush Roses can be set 1% feet apart, climbing 
varieties from 4 to 6 feet apart, and standard Roses 3 or more feet 
apart. 
To prevent the top branches from shriveling up before the root 
system has been developed, the earth should be hilled up. The 
branches still exposed, should be cut down to the mound surface. Be 
sure to keep the ground moist after planting. In about three weeks’ 
time the mound of earth may be gradually leveled down to the normal 
surface, Cultivate freely throughout the summer and apply a light 
top dressing of bonemeal or ‘‘Vigoro,’’ at least once a month through- 
out the growing season. 
Pruning. This operation is best performed during the dormant 
season. Most roses do better if moderately pruned. We usually 
remove from one-third to two-thirds of the past year’s growth, and 
all weak and decayed wood should be entirely cut out. As a rule 
the more vigorous the variety the more it should be pruned. Besides 
spring pruning, many of the hybrid Perpetuals require to be pruned 
as soon as their first blossom is over, in order to grow new wood for 
later blooming. It is always the new growth which gives flowers. 
Most people are apt to prune too sparingly, which retards rather 
than enhances the free-blooming of their plants. 
Winter Protection. We have found that the most satisfactory pro- 
tection is to draw up a mound of soil from eight to ten inches high 
around the base of the plants, then cover the entire beds after the 
ground begins to freeze with any loose material, such as straw, 
manure, leaves, etc. 
Should plants, when received, have a withered appearance, caused 
by an unusual delay in transit (which seldom occurs), soak them 
in water for an hour so as to restore their vitality.

TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF CUT DAHLIAS 
After the Dahlias have been cut, the foliage is stripped 
from the stem except at the top; recut the stem and immerse 
in water as hot as the hand can bear, being sure that none of 
the foliage gets in the water. When the water cools, the 
dahlias are transferred to a pail of cold water and left in the 
eellar over night. They will keep several days and increase 
in size.
