Over-Fed Roses.

1T is matter of common complaint
among amateur and even professional
rose growers that the plants fail to
produce blossoms even though they
look thrifty and have a dark green TO-
liage. AS general rule the trouble
lies in overlooking with heterogeneous
manureS.
It is we'll understood among CONNER
cial florists that the rose is a gross
feeding plant and that it quickly
shows the effect of an application of
fertilizers, especially heterogeneous ma
nureS
Since roses are usually kept in the
same soil for rather long periods at a
time it is necessary to apply liquid
manures in order to keep the plants
growing we'll. The greatest care is
necessary in these applications. When
heterogeneous manures, such as nitrate
of soda. are applied the proportion of
pound of nitrate to SO or rs gallons
of water is about right. This should
not be given Oftener than once in three
weeks and then only enough to moist
en- the soil slightly. Old plants may
toward spring be given an increased
dose or more frequent WRITINGS, but in
such cases it will usually be found
profitable to dilute to 100 gallons and
to give the bed thorough soaking.
The fertilizer being then much diluted
can be quickly assimilated by the
plants.
It should be remembered that when
roses or any other of our common
house plants have a healthy green col
or. heterogeneous manures are not reuuir-
ed: but when they have a siclz1y vel
1owish tinge it is more often caused by
the lack of this most important ele-
ment than by anything else. What has
been said of nitrate of soda also ap-
plies through in less degree to LIQUID
fertilizers made from stable manures
ptc-Mayflower.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-05-03

four to six inches deep, cover the seed
from one to two inches, and as the
plants grow draw the soil into the
trench until it slightly ridged up. A
good mulch of stable manure will be
beneficial, especially on a sandy SOIL
Seed should be sOWn thickly in local
tiles where the cut worm abOunds, for
they are very fond of the young plants
After the plants are we'll established
thin out to six to ten inches apart
This may seem quite a distance to
those who have been accustomed to
leaving them one or two inches apart,
but when more space is left the vines
will branch out close to the ground
and touch each other by the time they
bloom, and the lower leaves will not
turn yellow ais they often do on vines
closer together; and they will blossom
more prOfusely, the mowers be larger
and the blooming period prolonged. No
seed pods should be allowed to form,
as the vines will not produce seed and
bear flowers at the same time. Pick
the flowers ais soon as they begin to
fade. 1t does not pay the amateur to
sacrifice the beautiful flowers for the
sake of a few seeds. Frequent hoeing
ON both sides of the row to keep the
soil loose is very desirable, and if this
is done the plants will seldom need
artificial watering.
There are many other things that I
could say that might be of interest, but
my letter is quite lengthy already.
But should any reader of this inter
esting paper desire any further infor-
nation, 1 will, if possible, furnish it on
receipt of stamp for return postage,

seed to all who send a stamp for re-

Cultivation of the Sweet Pea.

Of all the flowers in cultivation, I
consider the sweet pea among the most
beautiful if not the prettiest of all an
nuals, and they are rapidly increasing
in favor every year, and are more ex-
tensively planted than perhaps any
other flower which is undoubtedly due
to the improvement of the old and the
introduction of many new and very
beautiful varieties.
What other flower has One-half the
merits of the sweet pea. 1t is very
hardy. succeeds over a wide range of
latitude, and in almost every kind Of
garden SOIL flowers profusely from
early summer until severe 'frosts in the
fall: very large variety of the most
beautiful colors, exquisite in form,
very fragrant, having long stems max
ing them very desirable ais cut flowers,
and they will keep fresh and nice for a
long time in vase or glass of fresh
water. AS a decorating flower they
have but few equals, being suitable for
all occasions, such as funerals, we'd
dings and feastS.
The seed should be soTwn as early as
possible in shallow trenches, say from
