No garden is what it ought to be
unless it has a collection of roses of
the hardy kind, such as florists call
June roses because they give their
finest flowers and the greatest pro-
fusion of them during that monthly :,
and some of the hybrid perpetuals,
which the catalogues call hardy, but
which are really not so, at the
North, unless given some kind of
protection in winter.
To grow any kind of roses we'll, it
il of the utmost Importance that the
soil in which we plant them should
be rich. 1t can hardly be made too
rich, for the Rose is greedy crea-
ture, Notwithstanding her arsto-
cratic lineage, and the proud posi-
ton she occupies as queen of flow
ers.
A soil that is considerably heavy
with clay is good one for the rose.
OF course one can grow it in almost
any kind of!soil. That is, it will live
there, and perhaps give some flow
ers, but in order to grow it to perfec =
ton it must have soil suited to it's
liking. 1t will not do we'll in a loose
soil. 1t must have good drainage
also. You need not expect to grow
good roses in locations where water
is retained about their roots late in
spring. Therefore, it the place in
which you decide to plant them is
not naturally we'll drained, see that
it gets good artificial drainage be-
| fore you put your plants out.
The best fertilizer for roses is, as
has been said in the paper on tea
roses, old, well-rotted cow manure
1t should be 50 old that it is black
and friable, crumbling easily be-
meath the hoe. If this is used, use
it literally, and incorporate i: well
with the soil before you plant
your roses. If it is not readily OBJ
tainable, use bone meal as substi-
tute, in the proportion named in the
article referred to.
In planting roses, do not make the
mistake of giving them a prominent
place on the lawn. They are beau.
tiful when in bloom, but when not
in bloom they have not the attrac-
tiveness of most shrubs, and they
seldom attain the size and dignity
which fit them for a prominent posi-
ton. There may be some eXcep
tions to this statement, bat it is true
of most varieties. | would advise
keeping them by themselves at one
side or at the rear of the home
grounds, where they can be readily
seen and enjoyed by the household
but do not depend on them as front
yard shrubs,
In ordering roses l would choose
two-year-Old dormant plants.
much prefer these to those which
have been grown on all winter in 6
greenhouse. They are of better size
have more vitality, and give more
immediate results.
And would order roses grown OF
their own roots. Grated ones may
in some instances, give better salts
faction than those which are no
grated, but as general thing they
are not so satisfactory. If the growth
from the graft dies in winter, TIN
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-04-07

plants are rende red worthless, be-
cause all growth which is sent up
from the roots comes from below the
place where the graft was inserted,
and as the stock used is generally of
the Manetti variety, 1t never pro-
duces flowers. If 1t were to do so,
they would be worthless But roses
grown on their own roots will al
ways bear the same kind of flower,
on whatever growth they make.
June roses require pruning but
once year. This should be done in
spring, as soon as one is able to see
where the strongest and healthiest
shoots are going to be. The old
wood should be cut back nearly half,
and all weak, unhealthy branches
should be removed. IT the branches
are thick, they should be thinned
out we'll. Air should have free cir
culation through the plant.
Hybrid perpetuals require a differ
ent treatment. AS their flowers are
produced on new growth only, they
should be grown on a system which
insures the constant production of
such growth. This is done by MAX
ing and keeping the soil very rich,
and by cutting the plants back
sharply after each period of fOwer-
ing. The term perpetual is a mis-
leading one, because it carries with
it the idea that the roses in this class
are, under all conditions, ever
boomers. But such is not the case.
They bear profuse crop of flowers
in June and July. After that, by
pursuing the treatment advised
! above, they bloom at intervals dur
ing the season, but never in such
profusion as in early summer. With
out the treatment advised they will
not do this. Many varieties are shy
bloomers, and will only give an oc-
casional flower after July. The
| freest bloomers are not prolific
enough to suit the lover of fine roses,
but their flowers, though few ia
number compared with those of the
first crop, are so large, so fine in
form, so rich in color, and so fra
grant as a general thing that we
cannot afford to overlook this class
in making our collections of roses.
1t requires more attention than any
other, but the results are we'll worth
all the care we expend on it.
Of the June roses the best for gen
eral use are the moses, in red, pink
and white; the Provence and the
good old damask, both delightfully."-
sweet, large, double, and of fine
shape, and produced with wonder
full freedom; the yellow Persian,
which well merits the name "Cloth
of Gold" so rich is the color; and

Austrian varieties. There are 9th
ers in this general class which de-
serve place in any collection, but

amateur gardener will be most like.
ly to succeed. When he or she
learns to grow these well, other sorts
can be added with reasonable
chance of success.
The list of hybred perpetuals is a
long one, and where there are SO
many charming sorts it is a diff
cult matter to make selection. This
may be done by consulting relia-
bic catalogue Harpers Bazaar.

A Typical Spring Gown.

Lace jabOts are more in demand
than ever for wear with the tailor
gowns, which are really dainty this
season. The tailor gown has long
ago lost its harsh and mannish air.
A great deal of embroidery and
applique work occurs on the cloth
gowns. One lovely gown of a pink
ish gray shade has a skirt that trails
gracefully at the back and sides.
The skirt is slit directly down the
front from top to bottom. There is
the slightest space at the top, which
gradually widens until there is an
opening about 10 inches wide. A
few inches from the bottom edge of
the skirt there goes strip, cut in
with the SKIRT width, that buttons
over, and another a few inches
above this, and still another, max
ing three il all. Under the skirt
opening there runs panel of bright
red cloth. The coat is of the gray
cloth, short and fiat all around.
The fronts roll back in wide revers,
that slope to the waist. A strap to
match those on the skirt is put on
Ender one side of the front of the
Jacket and buttons over on the
opposite side, just at the waist line.
The wide revers turning back re.
veal waistcoa: of the bright red
cloth, which comes down from the
shoulders and crosses over in sur.
plice fashion, the edges finished
with fiat band of red satin. The
coat sleeves are finished at the wrists
with narrow cuffs cut in the form oil
straps, with pointed ends finished
with buttons. The revers and tops
OF the sleeves are embroidered il
silver and crystal beads. The full
Chemisette and crush collar are o.
white chiffon. This is a typical
spring tailor-made gown, ana not
thought bit too gay for street veal
in Paris.

Into Ocean, and dropped into the
only vacant seat, Notwithstanding
the fact that several women who had
entered with him were left standing,
and that one of them was so heavily
loaded with bundles that she
couldn't even make use of a strap.
This woman planted herself
directly in front of the weak looking
man and swayed to and fro grimly
before him, glazing angrily down in
to his emaciated countenance the
while.
Presently the car lurched sudden
