It is our notion that mince pie it bad enough.for the>digestive apparatus without putting booze on it *'. CULTIVATING THE ROSE Among all the flowering shrubs that, grace the' garden or add to the beauty of hall or conservat^ry none can compare to the. rose. ��������� Of diverse color,' and character of foliage of endless design and color of blooms, it lends itself' to a wider range of decoration than any other singliel group of plants, being e- qually desirable as pot plants, for garden culture, and for cut flowers When to these qualifications are added ease and culture and quick and ample .responses in flowers, it is explained why, the rose has been aptly termed "The Queen of Flowers." In our collection of ornamen-; tal and flowering shrubs it occupies first place, hence we have be'en careTuti always'.to have on hand a large stock of onlyjrhe' most vigorous plants and only those ' sortj which produce freely of blooms po- 3essihg good substance and striking' individual 'chajracteristcs. All our j roses are field grown, thus injuring' plans of strong constitution and robust growth, gome objections have been expressed to'budded ro.s- es, owing to the fact that the ���������plants arc np't to sucker! This 'in readily overcome 'by setting the junction of l.ha bud with the fjloclc underground. If. planters will ob- H'ei'YC to do this, much of this difficulty will bo removed These shoots 'or suckers arc easily distinguished by their rampant growth and thorny and coarse like appearance.They should be removed 'as fast as they appear. Budded rose3 gi ow far more vigorously than those on their' own .roots and arc longer lived, so that the slight additional expense incurred to begin'with is more than corn- parusallfcd for fii having superior t plants, , , ,-',,. , |' The aim has been in .giving descriptions of the different varietos to be conservative in statement and cliear in expression, preferring at' the name time to be modest in opin ion rather than to'oVer praise. In habit of growth, U'ooming qualities vigorous root' development our plants arc the delight of rose lovers and homo gardens. The inexperienced aro advised to study cultural direction's", which are based on California conditions, and hence will be quite sure to afford satisfactory results if carfully followed The best season of the year for planting roses is from December 1 to March tho, 15, with the recommendation in favor of early- planting. In planting the same care should be observed as with any oth er tree or; plant, the ground should be spaded thoroughly, and if any well-rotted manure is available, it should be worked, into the soil. Dig the- nolle large enough to receive the- roots. Prune the top, cutting back'thei branches at least one-half and all bruised roots removed. Af- ���������i ter planting settle the soil around the plant by watering, freely. No definite rule can be laid down for pruning roses exce'p't!that Teas and their allied families do not require as t-cvoro pruning as the hybrid perpotuals and others of equal .ly as vigorous growth. There is one fast rule, however, on the Pacific Coast, and that is never to allow roses to go unprune'd . 'The best time is from December 15 to aMrch 1. The first winter-.after planting thin to three, main- shoots and .cut -these back at least .,two-thirds In after years with the frame work branches, established, - the laterals should be thinned out to prevent o'vercrowding and those allowed to remain should be cut to spurs of about four buds each. If this method is followed reguLarly each season, a properly pruned plant wild have the shape, of a .deer's aritlers. Witflu climbers the framework branches should be trained against the wall in the shape of a fan leaving^not more than three or four, and tnese should be cut back quite severely the first' two seasons to promote vigor and sturdiness of growth. In after, years shorten in the laterals and thin out sufficiently to prevent overcrowding, otherwise the plant wiU be a mass of dead wood and twisted branches, and its vigor will become impaired. When the roses cease blooming in the early summer the faded buds should'be cut and the pjlants should be given alight pruning, or more correctly a pinching back which will have the effect of making them respond with a bounteaous bloom in the summer and fall. ��������� "' '- Standard roses,' commonly known as tree roses are budded on a vigorous Manetti rose stock three and a half feet from the ground.They are very effective and if the head is shortened in and thinned out the pliant becomes very symm('tri.ca! and responds with a wealth ol bloom which is surprising. The first two seasons, wrap the stem with paper or-burlap to prevent sunburn and cue away all suckers appearing beneath the crown. Set the bush roses two to iwoj������nd a half feet apart; standards f'jur ' o six feet apart; for hedge purposes two feet apart except' the I'o'.'yan- tha types, which are inbred warf -.*- their habits and permit Of being more closely planted.���������Better Fruit csgagajsaaaaBaragmim^ " ' Farm' Lands ������������������ ��������� and ' .
