is to be applied three times week and
the amount necessary must be deter
mined by their condition. If the weather
is hot and dry it is needed every day.
The plants are to be shaded for the first
eight days, which can be done with
little moss or hay. By following these
instructions no one will fail to make
them grow, if the plants are healthy.
Many of, the choice varieties do not
succeed we'll in heavy soils, but this
method will give the plant the chance
to grow and they will be safe after the
roots get into the natural soil.
PRUNING AND FERTILIzING.
The rose requires but very little prun-
ing, and that simply thinning out shoots
where they are too thick, and cutting
out sthe old wood, leave only that
which is healthy. 1t is also necessary
to cut the flowers off which pass their
prime, because those will not only be
unsigntly, but will form seed pods which
weaken the plants.
Fertllizing is to be done every year
early in the spring, and the best ferti-
lizer is well rotted sheep manure. If
this cannot be had, cow manure will
answer the purpose. The manure
should be worked under about two in
ches below the surface, and has to be
done very carefully with hoe or fork,
the ground also is to be kept mellow
around the plants during the year and
no weeds to be allowed to grow near
them. Soil which is frequently stirred
or cultivated will retain moisture far
better than if allowed to become baked
into hard crust. Care has to be taken
as well in manuring as in cultivation,
so the young roots which are near the
surface will not be injured.
ROSES FOR ORNAMENTAL BEDS.
In planting a rosebed it is to be taken
into consideration that all the thrifty
growing varieties are to be planted in
the middle of the bed and only such to
be placed on the edge which are natu-
rally slow growers. It will be no trouble

A New American Rose,


note, as heretofore almost al, of the best
known varieties have been of French
origin, with more recently few grown
by careful hybridizing in the nurseries
of one or two English growers. The
rose like the chrysanthemum and other
much-cultivated flowers, has strong
tendency to "sport''-that is to say, it is
likely from some unknown cause, to de-
velop in one special bud some feature
which has never before been seen in the
variety. 1t may be new form of
growth in some special part, or perhaps,
and most commonly, distinct coloring.
It is to such sport that we owe the pos
session of the Mrs. Pierpont Morgan
rose, says the American Agriculturist,
which describes it as perhaps the most
distinct rose of modern introduction.
The authority quoted says:
The parent of this variety is the we'll
known and deservedly popular Nine.
Cusin, and its relationship is patent to
any one acquainted with both, but the
newcomer differs in several respects.
Its color, clear, bright cerise, with
trace Of pale yellow at the base of each
petal, is more decided and heavier than
that of Nine. Cusln. In general growth
greater vigor is displayed, and the indi
vidual bloom attains size of from four
to five inches across, on the average,
with petals of good substance and we'll
scented. which latter cannot be said for
all recent introductions All these
points, together with the good length of
stem attainable, assist to place this rose
in the front rank of popular sports, and
indeed it is already being largely grown
for the cut flower trade in New York
and elsewhere.
This variety belongs to the tea-scented
selection and is Of easy cultivation by
ordinary methods, but, of course, is not
hardy out of doors in the North any
more than any other teas. 1t blooms
freely, and last, but not least, the color
is one that shows up we'll under an arti-
fetal light.
The Rose. Planting, Culture & Pruning
Of all the cultivated flowers the rose
occupies the first rank, and is Of right
called the "Queen of the Garden" 1t
is closely connected with the history of
civilization, and in fact, of the human
race.
SOIL AND PLANTING.
The ground where the rose is to be
put should be well prepared before
planting. IG is necessary when the soil
is too heavy to dig hole about one to
one and one-half feet square and fill the
same with earth, Which is thoroughly
mixed with we'll rotted cow manure and
some sand or sandy soil. If sand or
sandy soil cannot be had, it will do to
take old ground from the woodpile, but
not too much, only enough to keep the
ground from packing. For sandy soil it
is only necessary to dig up the ground
well and mix old manure with it. If the
soil should be too dry give it thorough
soaking day or two before planting.
Before planting, the bushes are to be
examined, and particularly on their
roots, ssand those which are injured
should be cut off, then prune the others
down tn tvUo mr. four inches, After this

ABOUT THE MONOWAI.
Arrives in San Francisco MucI
Ahead of Time.

To the surprise of everybody on the
water front, the steamer Monowai got in
from Sydney via Auckland Apia and
Honolulu yesterday. The good ship has
made twenty-four trips to this port, and
only on eight occasions has she fulfilled
the demands of her contract by arriving
on schedule time. On this occasion she
has done remarkably we'll by arriving
four and half hours ahead of time.
1--WE had a very heavy north-northeast
gale against us for the last forty-eight
hours said Captain Carey yesterday
''but nevertheless we made excellent
time. They have some new appliances in
the machinery, and consequently we have
averaged half a knot an hour better time
all the way across.
while we were in San Francisco the
Monowai was fitted with new filters"
said Chief Engineer McCaig. ''These were
to catch all the oil that foated on the
water and all the fine dirt that would get
into the boilers. They We're great sue
cess.
When the ship got to Sydney they
fitted her out with 'retarders.' These are
screws about one-sixteenth of an inch
thick, which are fitted into each boiler
tube. They 'retard' the fame as it rushes
through the boiler tubes, and consequent
Iy the extra heat and the saving of fuel
was considerable. During the entire run
the steam in the gauge never varied a
pound, and the saving of coal was $50
pounds an hour. Why, my firemen insist
that they are in new ship, and say that
for twenty-five days they never had to
prick fire. Only vessels with an extra
good natural draught and those that have
a forced draught can use the retards;
but, thank goodness, the Monowai has
splendid natural draught, and you see
the result of our getting here ahead of
time. With our new filters and new re-
tarders combined we are able to hold our
own with any steamer that comes to San
Francisco."-San Francisco Call, Octo-
Der q.
