Roses and Rose Culture in Florida.

as of the kinds planted. 1t is we'll
ties, and a good many species, to
enumerate them all or to give his
tory of roses would be impossible in
a short article, SO we will get down
to roses in Florida.
OF the various sections into which
the rose is divided, the Tea rose is
perhaps the most popular and sue
cessful in Florida.
In this section we find, Countesse
de la Barth (Duchesse de Brabant),
salmon pink. Catharine Mermet,
flesh pink. The Bride, pure white,
Mad Hoste, yellowish white. Marie
Van Houtte, light yellow. Saffrano,
orange yellow. Mad Lambard, rosy
salmon. Souvenir DUN Ami, bright
pink. Archduchesse Maria Immacu-
lato, yellow to bronze. Devoniensis,
cream and flesh, very fine. Marie
Ginllot, white and dwarf.
The first on the list as a general
purpose rose, l should put Countesse
de la Barth, it is not as double as
many of the other roses, but it is
nearly always in bloom, summer and
winter, besides being a strong grower
either budded or on it's own roots, in
time it will form a bush six feet high.
Triomphe du Luxembourg, coppery
rose, is another good rose in this sec
ton, a good grower and good
bloomer. Hybrid Teas. Here we
find Captain Christy, blush pink. La
France, peach. Meteor, glowing Grim
son. Souvenir de Woottan, red. Beau
ty of Stapleford, reddish violet
James Sprunt, crimson, a climber
does best in half shade. Pierre Giul-
lot, dark carmine. In this section La
France is perhaps the best known,
when well grown a lovely rose, but
unluckily a weak grower and liable
to die back, does far best budded
China roses. Agrippina, crimson
and Arch due Charles, rose changing
to crimson are the ones [ know best,
they both do, and Agrippina espec-
tally is always in bloom.
Bourbon. Hermosa, bright rose,
and Souvenir de la Malmaison, flesh
color, are perhaps the best known.
Malmaison is very satisfactory rose
in every way.
Noisette. Here is a class of very
good climbers, all good growers, and
very desirable Chromatella or Cloth
of Gold, deep yellow. Larmarque,
pale sulphur to white. Solfaterre,
sulphur. William ALLEN Richardson,
orange to copper, much best budded
and last but not least, Marechal Mel,
chrome yellow, an old favorite but
not fashionable just now, owing to it's
short stems, for which reason Perle
DIES Jardins has largely taken it's
place, but no southern garden ought
to be without Marechal Mel, it is
truly a splendid rose, best budded.
Budded on yellow Banksian I have
seen it grow wonderfully fast.
Hybrid Perpetuals are not so sue
cessful in South Florida as the other
sections, but still some of them are
we'll worth growing. Dinsmore, scar
let crimson. Mrs. John Laing, soft
pink. Paul Neyron, dark rose with
buOa AOxuorc and General Jaoouono

larger than alba. They are all ram
pant climbers on their own roots, as
pillar roses nothing can beat them.
The flowers are very double, small
and in large clusters, which hang
down gracefully in long sprays.
They are very sweet with a scent
much like violets. The only trouble
is, they only bloom once year, in
the spring, but still they remain in
bloom for long time. l am told
many of the old houses in New Or
leans and Charleston are covered with
them. Like the Cherokee and Mac
artney they are natives of China.
In the Polyantha section | have seen
some fine plants of the Crimson Ram
bier.
Rosa Rugosa and Rosa Moschata,
! the Muscat rose, a strong climber,
grow with but little trouble. l have
only mentioned in this list roses that
l know do well in South Florida, but
/ have no doubt that very many other
varieties would do equally we'll, the
great thing is not to run after new
varieties just because they are new
First get the old well-tried kinds and
then branch out. Many of the new
kinds only appear in the catalogues
for a year or so, for some fault often
developes and then you see them in
the catalogue no more. The old kinds
that have stood the test of years you
are sure of.
Among the best roses to grow on
| their own roots are Countesse de la
Barth, Mad. Lombard Catharine Mer-
met, Lamarque, Solfaterre, Cloth of
Gold and the bride.
The advantages of budded roses are,
you usually get stronger plants, more
blooms and better shaped ones. In
the budded rose the bloom is apt to
| be more double than it is in the rose
on it's own roots.
The stock mostly used for budding
is Manetti, but any strong growing
rose will do, and many varieties are
used for this purpose. [ have budded
a good many roses on a semi double
pinSe rose often to be seen in Crack
er gardens making great masses, [ do
not know it's name but it makes a
very good stock, as it does not sucker
much, suckers are the ruin of many
budded roses, through the neglect of
taking them off. The Cherokee and
Mccartney also make good stocks for
budding, but are rather hard to bud,
at least I have found them so, but
strong growing roses such as Mare
chal Mel and Lamarque do wonder
fully we'll on them.
In budding choose a strong young
shoot, not too tender and not too old,
if too old the glaze on the bark will
crack when you lift up the bark.
Make vertical cut just through the
bark of the stock and a little longer
than the bud to be inserted, then
make a transverse cut also just
through the bark either at the bot
tom or top of the verticul cut, it does
not much matter which have the bud
to be inserted cut thin leaving little
or norwood, loosen the bark where the
transverse cut is with the point of the
side of the vertical cut, as wide and

tie it firmly with Irvine, if after a
week the Irvine is cutting into the
stock, loosen it a little. AS soon as
bud and stock have united cut the
stock over a few inches above the bud,
and unite. The cut over is best made
say two inches above the bud, be-
cause the stock will often die back a
little below the cut. 1t is safest to
bud not later than September, SO as
to avoid risk of frost on very tender
shoots, unless you are willing to pro-
tect them. Cuttings of roses may be
made almost any time of year; make
them if possible about six inches
long, tie in bundles and bury a foot
or so under ground for a month or
so, till well calloused, then plant in
! rows in some shady place, the north
side of house where the water drips
from the roof is as good as anywhere.
! With budded roses always try and
have the bud a few inches under
ground, either plant them so, or dig
round the stock, taking great care of
deep, then bend down your rose till
the bud is sunk below ground, fill up
and keep well mulched to prevent
burning from the sun.
Roses treated this way live longer
and are not so liable to sucker as
roses budded high up. Roses like 9th
er plants do best with a period Of
rest, and as the blooms are finer and
more perfect in the winter than in
the summer, it is best to let them
have their rest in the summer, so af-
ter May don't work them till the end
of August, mulch them deep and let
them be. At the end of August cut
out all dead wood and weak little
shoots, cut back the stronger ones
we'll and fertilize heavily, in climbing
don'tcut them back. Then before long
you will have as fine blooms as you
could wish. About the finest rose
bushes | have seen in South Florida
were planted where clay was to be
found about two feet below the sur
face, for roses love a heavy soil, so
when you plant them mix in lots of
clay muck and well cOmpOsted
manure. If your rose bed is already
made dig this we'll round them, if you
cannot manage this, almost any fer
tiIizer will do. Only remember that
with cotton seed meal and CONNER
cial fertilizers, little and often is the
best. Well rotted stable manure
makes a good mulch and can be put
on thickly. [ have seen it in Eng
land put down a foot or more deep
over the whole rose bed. Liquid
manure made from stable manure
put in a vessel and covered with wat
er for a few days will have a wonder
full effect on roses, by it's use [ have
grown La France roses here, four
inches across. Dilute the liquid ma
nure to about the color of strong tea,
and water with once or twice week.
A good plan is to sink three or four,

toms cut out, round a large rose
bush, and fill them with liquid ma
nure once or twice a week, this is a
good way too to use dish or wash

Miss Alexander, when served with the
papers, secured the services OF Attorney

answer in which is made general denial
of the allegations Of the complaint.
The fair defendant in discussing the ac-

his hand across my forehead and said !:

Readers Hasten to Secure the New En-.
cyclop@dic Dictionary.
It was thought at the outset that intelli-
gent readers of this paper would be quick
to take advantage of the remarkable offer
and obtain the new Encyclopedia Diction-
ary on the special terms made for the 500
Introductory sets, which are distributed
merely to make known the merits of the
work.
But when this price is reduced by over
two-thirds the superb publication becomes
almost gift, as readers have readily per-
ceived, to judge from the orders which are
coming in by each mail.
The terms made by the syndicate for 500
sets to introduce the work simply require
a cash payment of 81 to apply on the pur-
chase of the four volumes, which make up
the complete set, and the same is delivered
at once, the balance being payable at the
rate of 81 25 per month for one year, or at
the rate of about cents per day.
Further than this, to evidence the per-
feet fairness of the offer the work may be
returned within ten days and money will
be refunded, which is contingency not
at all likely to happen, however, when the
splendid publication is once in possession
and its high value becomes apparent.
Full descriptive matter and sample
pages will De sent on application, but to
those who do not wish TO waste time In
correspondence and run the risk of losing
a set at the low Introductory price it may
be said that the Encyclopedia Dictionary
is not only the most recent and complete
dictionary of the English language extant,
but it also treats over $4,000 subjects in
the same manner as an encyclopedia. 1t
is in four magnificent quarto volumes,
containing over 5000 pages, with 5000 illus
trations explaining the definitions. 1t
contains 250000 words, being $4,000 more
than Worcester and 11G000 more than
Webster. 1t is veritable mine of useful
information, and is alike Invaluable for
home. office, library or study. since it
easily takes the place of almost any half
dozen other reference. works which could
be named.
1t has at once become the standard
wherever introduced, and even at its sub
scription price of $42 per set is sure to find
a valued place in thousands of cultured
homes.
But at the Introductory price of 81 cash
and 81 25 per month for year it is simply
a marvel of cheapness.

for the rent and the necessaries of life.
She had to give up the house and engaged
a small room in the house 619H Mission
street. She tried to get employment but
failed, and to prevent starvation she APP
plyed for help to the Associated Charities.
She got a little assistance, but was too
sensitive to apply for more.
The oldest child, boy, is IL years of
age, and the youngest 2. To add to her
misery the youngest child was seized with
the whooping cough, and on Monday night
she called at the Receiving Hospital, but
as there is no juvenile ward there for the
care of afflicted children they could not
help her.
DR.. Rhine, who heard her story, went
home with her and prescribed for the
child. His sympathies were so aroused by
the sight of the starving children that he
gave Mrs. Graham all the money he had in
his pockets.
Yesterday the case was called to the
attention OF the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, and Officers HOl-
brook and McMurray arranged to have the
three eldest children sent to the Youths
Directory to-day, and will make every
effort to get employment for the other,
who is quiet, respectable little woman.
Some gentlemen who heard of the case
later will endeavor to get position for
the oldest boy to-day, SO that his earnings
can be help to his mother; but If un-
successful the boy will have to go to the
directory
The police will be asked to help find
Graham, so that he can be punished for his
cruel deseftion.
