An Interview With Much Misunderstood

The woman passed through the Sixty
seventh street entrance to Central Park and
walked down a long, sunny path between
nws Of green grass and benches and little
children-ridden ponies with pink bows in
their hair and bells on their necks and the
Nu!tures and the Cdmelue 1etridnus and the
Boz indicus, till she came to the tank where
the Hippopotami amphba we're.
Only one Hippor otamns omphI ius was
visible. He lay out on the gray stone
leading down to the tank. The clear un.
ruffled water lay sunnly over the other two,
fecked by the shadow leaves Of the trees
above them.
The woman stood at the railing which
separates the grass you mustn't walk on
from the pavement, awaiting the appearance
Of these other two. Several dozen others
stood with her. They amused themselves

cred with fine. prickly spines and the leaves
being seven in number of the serrations
instead OF five, as in most Of the budded
kinds.
Budded roses should be planted deep 40
that the bud is at least three inches below
the surface OF the soil, when there will be
less trouble from the suckers. The roots
should be carefully examined. and any eyes
or buds that are starting upon them should
be carefully taken out.
To reduce the difficulties In he culture Of
these delicate flowers he location becomes
import ant. They cannot always be put
where it may be desired to have them.
Roses must have good air and plenty Of
It., without being too much exposed; hence
an elevated situation IS better ;han one
that is lower or level, where the air may
be more or less stagnant. They should not,
however, be exposed to too vi ient winds,
for the foliage cannot stand whipping
Sometimes the protection of a cump Of
trees Is sought, but unless the plants are
set we'll away from them they will be robbed
OF plant food by the roots Of the trees. To
take advant age OF this kind of protection
the roses should be set twenty-five feet
i,nt her away from the trees than their
greatest height.
. The protection of buildings should be
avoided for so completely do these stop he
circulation Of air that mildew and hlights
follow from sheltered locations Of this
character. There are, however exceptio Ms
to this rule, for sometimes in an elevated
position there will be suit able circulation
Of air even close to a building. This depends
largely upon the prevailing winds and he
exposure OF the locality.
The hot monday sun is very hard upon
the blossoms. and il the rosebed could be so
located as to get a shadow cast from clump
OF trees for two hours after noon such a
location would be ideal.
Where large quantity Of flowers may be
desired for daily and unrestricted use the
roses may be grown in very simple manner
in garden, in rows four and a half feet
apart, and cultivated like the vegetables with
horse and cultivator. This reduces the
labor very largely, and upon this plan they
may be grown with the least trouble.
While the blossoms may not be quite so
large in size they may at least be had in
the greatest abundance, and this is much
more to be desired than to have few
special specimens limited in quantity The
greatest pleasure to be derived from flowers
is to have them for the freest possible use
and to give to friends and others who may
not be able to have them.
The soil needs to be well suited and prop
erly prepared. For hybrid perpetuals
heavy soil is better. one that has some por-
ton OF clay in its composition. The rose
requires for its best development cool,
moist soil, and for this reason the heavier

With the steadily increasing love for
mowers, the culture Of the rose has extended
until even now fine varieties may be seen
not only in the gardens OF the rich Du'
also about many modest homes.
For q long time the rose was luxury &c
possess, but with the general and active
love Of nature that is a marked characters.
tic Of the present times much has been
learned about the culture Of flowers IN
general, and Of the rose in particular. and
its special requirements In culture are
better understood.
Many a country home has its lilacs In
me corner and its honeysuckles in another
but ts climbing roses excel in the delight
which they always bring in their gorgeous
and glorious bloom.
There is no flower that is beset with more
difficulties In its growth. but notwithstand.
ing this fact roses are increasingly and
successfully grown. The more dif1oult 1t
is to produce a beautiful thing the more
highly is it priced
One Of the greatest difficulties to be met with
in growing roses arises from the fact that
they have been bred and interbred SO much,
and crosses with varieties Of weak qualities
have been go often made that the weak
nesses Of the plant have been widely dis.
seminated.
Among the several classes Of roses the
teas are the most beautiful, yet they are
not the hardest nor of a strong type IN
growth. They bloom longer than other
kinds, hence they have been widely crossed
to get their beautiful and more prolific
flowers.
The hybrid perpetuals are most valu-
able class, being generally harder and
stronger boomers. though they do not
bloom so long as the teas. These have
been obtained by crossing the French and
damask roses with the China rose.
There are certain varieties Of the per-
petuals that by right pruning may be made
to bloom more than once. Their name is
somewhat misleading. Most Of them, II
left to their own way, will bloom freely
in June and then cease, but if properly
pruned at that time, and if they have the
best care, new growth may be obtained
that will give another set Of blooms for
quite a period in the autumn.
Roses are propagated by cuttings. by
budding. grating and layering All va
rieties will not root equally we'll from cut :
t. q and layers. and budding is largely
done.
The budded roses have to be carefully
watched. for being start ed on strong brier
and Manetti roots they are quite apt to
throw out shoots from their own roots which
are vigorous and soon overcome and run
oct the bud These may be readily dis.
cerned when they do come out, for their
leaves and wood are Of a different character
from that Of the bud, the wood being COW

surrounded by delicate messy fringe.

time prove their productiveness and hardi-
ness. In the pink color are Mrs John Lang.

RIGS bright redl are still among our les
climbing varieties. These may he grown
over piazzas on tre!lises or pillars, and

their profuseness. They may also be planted
to trail over fences, and are very at

however, only medium sized flowers These
