Roses-queens Of the American
flower garden.
The increasing tendency of people
to patroniZe the rural sections, and the
steadily increasing love for flowers,
with the impulse to cultivate the small
garden found in the city and the rural
homes brings into prominence the
flower of kings and of favorites-and
of the humblest menial-the rose.
1t is astonishing what varied types
in nature there are of this flower, and
how worldwide is its distribution.
Wild roses are found from frigid Lap
land to tropic India. The rose has
the honor of being the first cultivated
flower. For a long time 1t was a rare
possession, but with the general and
active love of nature that is a marked
characteristic of the present times
much his been learned about the cul-
ture of flowers in general, and of the
rose in particular, and its special re-
Qulrements are better understood.
While verandas and trellises OF
country homes may have their honey
suckles, and lilacs may bloom in
abundance, nothing eXcels in beauty
or fragrance the climbing roses when
in their gorgeous and glorious bloom.
There is no flower beset with more
difficulties to grow, yet its cultivation
is increasing. The harder it is to pro-
duce a beautiful thing the more highly
ii is priced.

How to Kill the Aphis.

This will be discovered on the tips
of the bushes and also upon the buds
and about their stems. The insects
suck the sap from these tender parts
and greatly check the growth and de-
velopment of the buds. busting with
hellebore will keep them in check, or
they may be sprayed with one pound Of
caustic potash whale oil soap dis
solved in eight gallons of water. This
is easy work.
One of these insects will be the pro
genitor of over 5000 million descend
ants at the end of five generations,
which makes the discovery and prompt
treatment of the first ones highly i'm
portant.
The leaf roller is another enemy that
rolls up the leaves and also works upon
the buds, eating small holes in the
ends.
Then there are other caterpillars.
the young of moths and butterflies. that
feed upon the foliage and also upon the
buds These should be hand picked or
crushed, as it is difficult to reach them
after they have protected themselves
by the folding of the leaves.

Roses must have good air and plenty
of it, without being too much exposed
hence an elevated situation is better
than one that is lower or stagnant.
They should not, however, be exposed
to too violent winds, for the foliage
cannot stand whipping.
Sometimes the protection of a clump
of trees is sought, but unless the plants
are set we'll away from them they will
be robbed IF plant food by the roots of
the ire . To take advantage of this
kind of protection the roses should be
set twenty-five feet further away from
the trees than the latter's height.
The protection of buildings should
be avoided, for so completely do these
stop the circulation of air that mildew
and blights follow from sheltered loca-
tions of this character. There are,
however, exceptions to this rule, for
sometimes in an elevated position
there will be suitable circulation of
air even close to a building. This de-
ponds largely upon the prevailing
winds and the exposure of the locality.

How to Grow Cuttings.

How can you root summer cuttings?
Make a 4 or 5-inch cutting of a rose
branch that is coming into bloom, or
is just through blooming. Cut just be.
low an eye, leaving a small heel or
strip of bark attached. Trim off the
lower set of leaves even with the wood.
Leave the end leaf entire and trim the
leaf or two remaining, back to the
first pair of leaflets. Insert these cut
tings in wet sand up to the last eye.
Put them in the window and keep con
stantly damp until they root, which
should be in from 3 to 4 weeks. Teas
root easily by this method.
To root from %semi-dormant wood:
About the beginning of autumn, Sep
TENDER in the North, October in the
South, take your cuttings. Several
may be made from one cane. as pretty
we'll ripened wood roots after this
method as we'll as any. Make the cut
tings about 6 inches long. Cut just be-
low an eye, making a slanting cut
and trim off the lower leaves. Now
dig a hole by the parent bush. Put a
handful of sand at the bottom If you
have it, and put in your cuttings, set
ting them II inch apart and firmine
the earth very solidly about them
Only about an inch of the upper stem
should project above the ground. PuI
a glass fruit jar over the cuttings
sinking the jar we'll into the ground
then bank up the earth a couple o.
inches around the can. Let the cut
tings, jar and all, rigidly alone unit
spring is well advanced. 1t will b.
found then that nearly every cuttins
has rooted. This plan seems to be
success wherever 1t is tried, North
South, East or West. Nearly all hybrit
teas and perpetuals root well in thii
way. So do moss, memorial and ram
bier roses.
In the culture of roses the creates
trials and disappointment are me
with in the insects hat persistently al
tack them and of which there ar
many. One of the first in the earl,
summer is the green fly or aphis.

The hot MONDAY sun is very hard
upon the blossoms, and if the rose bed
could be so located as to get a shadow
cast from a clump of trees for two
hours after noon such u location would
be ideal.
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 otherwise
not be able to have them.
The soil needs TO be we'll suited and
properly prepared. For hybrid per-
petuals a heavy soil is better, one that
has some portion of clay in its com
position. The rose requires for its best
development a cool, moist soil, and for
thisireason the heavier type is better
carrying as it does a large amount OF
moisture, and being also a little lower
in temperature.

are quite apt to throw out shoots from
and soon overcome and run out the
bud. They may be readily discerned
when they do come out. for their leaves
and wood are of a different character
from that of the bud, the wood being
covered with fine, prickly spines and
the leaves being seven in number Of
three serrations instead of five, as in
most of the budded kinds.
Budded roses should be planted deep
so 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 examined,
and any eyes or buds that are starting
upon them GA0uld be carefully taken
ga

They will fly off when you are attempt
ing to treat them.
The white grub is another parasite
upon roses, the list of which is becom-
ing somewhat formidable. This grub
comes from eggs deposited In the
ground by the June bug or May beetle.
After pairing, the male dies, when
the female bores down in the soil, de-
posting her eggs from six to eight
inches deep. The small white grubs
which are Matched from these live upon
the grass roots or the roots of other
plants.
In making up the soil for the rose
bed sods frequently put in the bottom
to decompoSe have these grubs in
them, and as they live in the grub form
for three years, they frequently eat the
roots of the roses, causing them to
wither and often TO die. On the first
discovery of a willing plant the soil
should be dug oyer to find the grubs.
ToadS Are Friends.
There are no better friends to have
in the garden than the toads. If they
could be protected and encouraged to
live there they would eradicate many
of the grubs and cutworms that do so
much damage to garden plants.
The great enemy of the toad is the
small boy. Bands of ~schoolboys have
been known to go out, and in a single
day, kill as many as 800 of these use
full animals. The boys regard this as
innocent sport, being untaught and not
knowing that the toad is a most yalua-
bic insect destroyer.
To the lovers of the rose, these diff
ficulties in its culture, great as they
are, are not altogether too d~iscourag-
ing. They rather incite to greater
energy and determination to overcome
them. knowing that eternal vigilance
is the price to be paid to win and to
enjoy this queen and most beautiful of
all flowers.

Have Your Soil Rich.

The soil can hardly be made too rich.
Well composted MANURE should be
worked down deep into the bottom of
the bed or of the rows if they are not
in the latter form. This should be cow
manure, as that is of a cooler nature
and better suited to the requirements
of the plant. Horse manure is too
heating and will injure the roots If
used in large quantities. Liquid
manure used In a diluted form once a
week after the buds are formed will be

Observation-Disclosures

pared From without it is true that
the building looks sadly out of place
in the center of the beautiful grounds,
but within it is the finest residence,
no doubt, in the entire archipelago,
hence, when the position of he who
lives there is taken into considera-
tion, the name of palace
Malacanan has some little history.
Until 1863 the Spanish governors gen.
eral had their official residence in
a palace situated in the walled city,
near the present rebuilt Catholic ca
thedral, but in connection with this
they had a summer residence Clf a
country house in a tropical climate
can be called such) in the suburb OF
San Miguel where the palace OF
Malacanan is now located A ter
rible earthquake occurred in Manila
in 1868, which destroyed about two
thirds of the buildings of the city.
among them the governor generals
palace and the cathedral and Don
Rafael Echague, then governor gen
eral of the island, had the summer
residence properly fitted up for a per-
manent home. From that time forth
it was the official residence of all the
Spanish governors general, no less
than 33 of them having resided there,
some of whom served but six days
in office, and among whom were such
famous men as Weyler, Blanco and
Augustin. Francisco Rizzo served a
few days in 1898 after the capitula'
ton. and was the last Spanish govern
or general to live there. The Spanish
coat-of-arms still grace the arch over
the entrance, but big. American po-
liceman sits daily as a>guard over tho
place. reminding one of latter day
conquests.
Hon. William H. Taft was the first
American official to occupy the pail
ace, being succeeded by Governors
General Luke E. Wright and Henry
Clay Ide. Mrs Taft while mistress
of Malacanan inaugurated a system
of public receptions held monthly, and
which are still in vogue. To these
receptions all the prominent people
go to pay their respects and enjoy
the hospitality of the chief executive,
and such personages as the duke of
Abruzzi, the prince of Savoy and
countless other notables of the world
and of the orient are numbered among
those who have been entertained
