ROSES OUT OF DOORS.
Rave a Rose Garden-EarIy Autumn
Is the Time TO Plant.

Rave a Rose Garden-EarIy Autumn
Is the Time 30 Plant.
Every one who loves a rose and pos
sesses a few feet of ground with plen-
/ ty Of sunshine can have his own rose
garden and find pleasure and health
in cultiYating the queen of flowers. OF
course the ideal soil is a rich deep
loan. but good rose bed can be made
in clay, sand or gravel.
Roses abhOr wet feet. and If the soil
is wet 1t must be thoroughly drained.
This can usually be done by digging
out the bed to a depth of three feet
and filling in one foot with broken
stone brick. cinders or gravel.
Rose roots revel in deep rich soil;
therefore the beds should be at least
two feet in depth. with a generous sup
ply of manure at the bottom. Cow ma
nure is best, but horse manure may be
used If old and well decOnpOsed. 1t is
well to depress the bed an inch below
the surface to retain the rainfall.
Garden roses, grown in two ways,
can be obtained froS dealers on their
own roots or budded1o on the manetti or
brier. From the experience Of quar-
ter Of a century with both. l believe
the less vigorous varieties are better
budded than on their own roots.
The holes in which rose plants are
set should be made so deep and wide
that the roots can be spread down |
ward and outward without touching ,
each other. and the collar or point |
where the bud was inserted should be !
placed two inches beneath the surface
Of the soil. This deep planting is nee
essary to prevent suckers being thrown
out by the roots. Should a brier or
manetti shoot appear, dig down and
cut it of at the root and rub the point
smooth to prevent it starting again.
The canes Of wild shoot are covered
with minute thOrns and bear seven
eafiets instead of five.
After planting, the canes should be
shortened to about twelve inches and
he entire surface of the soil covered ;
With coarse manure, leaves and litter
'or a depth Of at least three inches.
This is all the protection needed for
he perpetuals and hybrid teas, and 1t !
hould be repeated annually as soon as
he ground has one good freezing. II !
lone before the soil is frozen, we are
pit to protect some Of our insect en-
mics that we are anxious to be rid

RAISES AN INTERESTING POINT
Claimed Jersey Pardon Board Has No
Power to Commute Death Sentence.

Claimed Jersey Pardon Board Has Nc
Power to Commute Death Sentence.
Trenton, N. J., May 17.-Miss Mary
Philbrook, counsel for Libbie Cara
brant, the woman who is serving alifs
sentence in state prison. had a confer
ence with Governor Stokes and raised
an interesting point as to the power of
the board of pardons to commute a
death sentence to one Of life imprisOn-
ment. Miss Philbrook contends that
the board has no such power. The con-
stitution provides that the board Of
pardons may remit fines and forfeit
ures and grant pardons except in i'm
peachment cases. The constitution is
silent as to the committing OF death
sentences to one OF life imprisonment.
If this point is well taken. the board
Of pardons could not interfere in the
case Of a death sentence except to grant
an absolute pardon.
There are now 10 persons in the state
prison serving life terms as a result of
having their death sentence commuted. |
No one would think of having them ex-
ecuted after these years, and If Miss |
Philbrook's point should be sustained !
they would all be pardoned. Miss Phil
brooks purpose in talking to the gov
ernor was to have the board Of pardons
consider the legal point she has raised.
The governor will bring the matter to
the attention OF the board.
