ANGLE OVER THE

{ among other things that he had 1 drained and graded East Sixth ave nU", and had contracted for hauling cinders on same at the rate of tif- teen cents per load. The report showed the approximate cost of bridges needed on Cedar and Hazel streets to be respectively Sl60 and $l3o. The report also showed that the city engineer had been doing a large amount of street work which amounted to about $310 per month asid,. from the regular salaries, making the total expense for the moNih $ .030. which the council considered very moderate for the engineers force and the amount of work done.
 However, the city engineer stated that on account of the absence Of one member of the board of public affairs he had been compelled to
 
 pay off his help, and be would like some other arrangements to be made. Here motion was made to refr the report to the board of pub lie affairs.
 Alderman Nichol opposed he mo- tion and wanted something done by the council as he did not think the city engineer should be forced to borrow money on his own paper to refer the report to the board of pub ed him to do.

June and usually in large numbers.
The eggs are laid in the soil, generally
in light or sandy land; they are not
often troublesome in heavy soil.
Paris green and other poisons 10 not
have much effect upon them. Arsenate
of lead, when used in strong solutions

will keep them quite well in cheek,
but this material discolors the foliage.
In the early morning, when the bugs
are somewhat dormant, they may De

pan of kerosene held underneath the
branches. This is most difficult pest
to control. 1t will also attack grapes
and other fruits.
The rose slug is the larva OF the saw
fv. which comes out of the ground In
May. The female deposits eggs In cuts
made in tie leaves. The eggs hatch
in about twelve days after they are
laid.
They are soft-bodied insect similar
to the snail, and may be readily de-
stroyed by busting with hellebore or
by the whale oil soap spray. They soon
seriously injure the foliage ii not kept
in check.
Another very troublesome insect and
enemy of the rose is the rose hopper or
thrips. These are small, white flies
that come in swarms, and they WORK
mainly on the under side OF the leaves

They will fly off when you are attempt

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, Wnen
the female bores down in the soil, de-
posting her eggs from six to eight
inches deep. The small white grubs

bed sods frequently put In the bottom

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 nrst
discovery of willing plant the SOIL
should be dug over 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 300 of these use,
full animals. The boys regard this as
innocent sport, being untaught and not
knowing that the toad is a most valua-
BILE insect destroyer.
To the lovers of the, rose, these diff
ficulties in it's culture, great as they
are, are not altogether too discourag-
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 fowess.

Roses-queens ct 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 ruraf
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 it's distribution
Wild roses are found from frigid Lap
land to tropic India. The rose has
the honor Of being the first cultivated
flower. For long time 1t was 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 Gull
ture of flowers in general, and OF the
rose in particular, and it's special re-
quirements 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 it's cultivation
is increasing. The harder it is to pro-
duce a beautiful thing the more highly
it is priced.

of great value in getting the finest
blooms and the longest bud develop
ment. Good wood dirt is excellent.
Fine, strong plants, set while entire
~ dormant, should give satisfactory
quantity of flowers the first summer
In planting, the tops should be cut
down to two or three buds.
Many fail at this point to prune close
enough. On we'll grown plants there
is usually too much wood left. The de-
sire to obtain blossoms the first sum-
mer is so great that frequently the en-
tire top is left to grow. which is too
much for the root to support.
The reverse should be done, for by
close pruning the few buds left will
develop into strong, vigorous shoots
that will produce buds, and only by
this practice can they be surely OBJ
tanned.
A good general rule to follow in
pruning is to cut severely all teas, by
brid teas and kinds that do not make
strong growth, and to cut all strong
growing kinds moderately. The more
luxuriant a bush grows the less prun-
ing will be required, but the weakest
growing kinds require the severest
pruning.
While florists have their own way OF
propagating roses, amateurs usually
get start of everblooming roses either
from cuttings of the blooming wood
or from cuttings of mature wood rooted
during winter while in semi-dorman1

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 clump
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 tire :. 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-
lions 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 building. This de-
ponds largely upon the prevailing
winds and the exposure Of the locality

are quite apt to throw out shoots from
their own roots which are vigorous
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 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
xpon them should be carefully taken
out.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1906-05-18

The hot MONDAY sun Is very hard
upon the blossoms, and If the rose bed
could be so located as to get shadow
cast from a clump Of trees for two
hours after noon such a 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 well 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 it's best
development cool, moist soil, and for
this reason the heavier type is better
carrying as it does a large amount OF
moisture, and being also a little lower
| in temperature.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1906-05-18
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 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
