Lilies 

TIGER LILY 
Although the lily is one of the most stately and 
attractive of all the blooming garden plants they seem 
to be also the least understood and appreciated. The 
ornamental value of the lily lies almost entirely in the 
flowers as they are of scant foliage and of a character 
altogether foreign to the usual blending of parts. 
Most lilies are heavy bloomers and are very striking 
in color.and should be grouped against a strong: green 
background for the best effect. They love warm sun 
but their bulbs will net stand hot baked soil. The soil 
most desirable is a loose sandy loam which will be 
enriched by a top dressing of manure and should be 
well drained. They should be sheltered from the wind 
and if possible be shaded at noon. Keep bulbs from 
undue exposure to air and plant in the spring about 
six inches deep. Winter mulch always pays. Never 
allow manure to come in direct contact with the root 
bulbs. They may be left in the ground from year to 
vear. The following list gives a wide range of color 
fr m which to select and are perfectly hardy.

Roses 

The rose has truly been christened the “Queen of 
Flowers.” There is no flower so heautiful, so fragrant 
and so universally loved and appreciated as the rose. 
vuriginaily the rose was considered more of a tropical 
or hot house plant, but with the introduction of the 
many varieties of Hybrid Perpetual Roses, horticul- 
tural science has made it possible for the Northwest 
gardener to enjoy as wide a variety and as beautiful 
rose beds as our Southern neighbors. These Hvhril 
Roses, crossed between the June and Monthly roses, 
retain not only the hardiness of one parent but aiso 
the perpetual blooming habits of the other. As all 
hybrid roses bloom on new wood only they should he 
eut off to about eight or ten inches above the ground 
each spring and they will send up good strong shoots 
fhat will produce much larger blooms than will the 
weak slow growth frem the old wood if left un- 
trimmed. Clippine of the seed pods is also an aid in 
the blooming. When setting out new plants. make the 
ground rich with well rotted manure well worked in 
and dig the heles large enough so that the roots will 
not be erowded. Cut new plants down to about six 
inches from the ground and water liberally when 
planting. They should be kept well cultivated until 
ahout Julv Ist and then well mulched with straw or 
lawn euttines. Spray with lime-sulphur for funeus 
and with arsenate of lead for slugs and caterpillars. 
A‘) hybrid perpetual roses need winter protection 
This can he easily done by ‘throwing un a mound of 
earth around the plants ahout twelve inches high be- 
fore the ground freezes and after the ground is frozen 
cover the hed with branches or coarse corn stalks to 
hold the winter snows. After the frost is gone in the 
spring remove the litter and earth and cut back at 
once. The following lists are grouped as to color to 
niutke easy selection and are recommended for hardi- 
ness. 
WYBRID RUGOSA ROSES 
These new hybrid rosa Rugosas can be grown any- 
where in Minnesota or the Dakotas without winter 
protection. They are a wonderful addition to the rose 
family being exceptionally free from worms and dis- 
ease. They grow to four or five feet high, start bloom- 
ing early and continue through summer to late fall, 
furnishing an abundance of cut flowers the entire sea- 
son. They make the most beautiful flowering hedge 
known.
