Ottawa, Mrs. Lambert said: Somt
years ago, when was invited 20 write
q paper on roses readily consented
/ WAS then enjoying my first success
in cultivating my favorite flower, and
felt possessed of such en unlimited
fund of informationon on the subject
that was ready to instruct any one
who stood in need Of such knowledge
But since then years have put to the
test some of my pet theories, and,
must confess, put many of them to
flight, and now 1 only feel capabl OF
saying few words in the matter. 1t
must be understood that whatever
now say is intended for the norice
only. no longer aspire to teach the
experienced foricu]turist. The first
necessity for rose growing is morning
sun. do not believe that any satis-
faction can possibly be obtained, even
though the sun should best on ones
roses from midday to midnight ltis
the early morning sun which is the
source of life and strength to them,
and il after midday thry are in the
shade so much the better. Rich soil,
q shelter from north and east winds
by shrubs, or fence not too near,
and plenty of room for ventilation be-
tween the bushes-under these condi-
tions any rose except standards may
be grown with perfect success il
Ottawa OF course nearly all of them
must be covered in winter, md the tea
roses much more heavily than Others.
Rosa rugosa, all the brie RS, including
the two yellow roses, end all moss
roses, are better for being left quite
unprotected. All should be heavily
mulched bsfore the first OF July. The
most important division, to the gar
dener, is that of remontant and pon-
rcmontant, or summer varieties.
The former bloom on shoots OF
the same years growth, while the lat
ter must have 2-year-old wood before
they will show us n flower. AS to
pruning: If ones roses are all ,remon-
tant the experience of Canon Hole, the
well known rosiariau, will serve as
guide. He said that his roses had
never been SO glorious as they were
tho year they had been prunea By
donkey that had broken into his gar
den and cropped his remontants to the
ground. According to this one should
the raspberry bush, every shoot that
has borne, and shorten the new
growth, while with the others only
2-year-old wood must go. If I could
only grow one rose it should be
Jaqeminot, and if could have six

more might be mine for the choosing

Nine. Victor Verdier, three Baroness
Rothschild, three Merveille de Lyon,
one Gracilis moss, and Old English
moss, and one crested moss There
are, of course, dozens more, perfect
dreams OF loveliness, but some weak
ness Of constitution or shyness of
blooming would make me wait until a
years success with the varieties 1
have named had given me strength to
bear the trial of a possible failure with
tho host of beauties which rise before
me at this moment and plead in vain
for q word in their behalf.

Nebraska, as well as in Nebraska soil.
Experiments have been made in grow
ing alfalfa in every county in the state,
and while failures have been reported,
the general expression is one of salts
faction in its adoption to our soil and
climate. The encouraging reports of
alfalfa growing when coupled with the
persistent efforts of farmers of this Sec

Obituary..

Died at O'Clock p. M, May Ist, 1894;
Clifford, youngest son of DIR. A. T. Rice
and wife of this city.
Little Clifford was a bright, beautiful
child twenty-five months of age, possess
ing lovely disposition and those sweet
traits which make infantile childhood
so beautiful.
He had the prevailing epidemic, the
measles, which eliminated in catarrhal
pneumonia, and after several days OF
severe suffering the little one was re-
leased by the angel of death and went
unto Him who said, "Suffer the little
ones to come unto me and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom OF
heaven"
The funeral services were conducted
at the home of the parents, on Tuesday
afternoon at 4 O'Clock, by the Revs.
Cofman and Preston. The services were
very impressive and beautiful. A large
concourse of friends gathered to pay the
last respects to the dear little one, and
offer sympathy to the parents and mem-
bers of the family.
Masters Ernest Ludwick, Fred Brewer,
George Rittenhouse and Charlie Nor
thrup acted as pail bearers. The SYM
pathy of the entire community goes out
to the parents, aged grandmother and
various members of the family, in the
loss of their child.
This lovely bud so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
First came to show how sweet flower,
In Paradise could bloom.
There, in the Shepherds bosom,
White as the drifted snow,
Is the little lamb we missed one morn,
From the household flock below.
The parents and friends desire me to
express their heartiest thanks to the
kind friends who so kindly, and in va
rious ways administered to the comfort
of the little one, and by their kindness
and sympathy made the great sorrow
easier to bear.
Never was more fully fulfilled the
scriptural injunction, "Bear We one
another's burdens" than in this in
stance, and their memory will always
be cherished with the deepest affection
and love.
Written by friend,
MRS. E. KILGORE.
