canes just right for budding, and never

make good stock. but they are not easy

Marechal Niels grow very well on
them.
1t is best both with budded and
grated roses to have the stock below
the surface, the rose will grow better
so, and if Il freeze comes and kills the
rose to the ground the rose is more
likely to live and will often put out
from the ground again, and not be
killed out to the stock as it might be if
stock was above ground.
1t is often best to grow your stock
where you want your rose to be, so as
to save moving.
In this case wait till your bud has
grown well and the wood has become
hard, then dig il hole all round the
stock, being careful not to cut any of
the roots, when you have the hole deep
enough, you can bend the roots of the
stock down till the bud is few inches

| Editor Floral Departments:

paper all along. and enjoyed it great
| ly. and thank you thousand times for
lit.
Through this Winter. the weather,
here. has, so far been most singular.
| Through December and the early part
of January. the weather was compara-
lively warm, with light rains nearly
every day. by the middle of January
the weather became so mild and warm
that vegetation was enticed into
growth. A jessamine nudicauli. grow
ing over a fence came into full bloom
and lightened up the yard with the
CLEANS of her golden stars. A large
Japan ounce (CidOnia) was full of
half-grOwn buds that seemed ready to
start into scarlet flame; the leaves of
the Coral Huneysuckle were half
grown: the flowers of the HellebOre
were opening. The SnOw-fiakes fair
and delicate seemed lost, they seemed
like lost children, and wondered and
seemed to wonder what it all meant,
this untimely and unreasonable CALL to
dress for display. The Narcissus, the
Star Flowers, and other Dubious root
ed plants were three inches high.
From the twenty-second of January
until after the first of February we
had this unusual display of flowers,
with fair. warm weather. Summer
like, indeed. it seemed. And such
warm weather with flowers abloom,
in January, is certainly unprecedented
in this fair land of West Virginia but
not for long was the rare enjoyment
of warmth and flowers in mid-winter
ours. On the first day of February a
cold wave came and chilled the air
and blighted the flowers. All through
this month the weather has been quite
cold, rains and winds have prevailed;
but it illuminated on the twenty second
when the mercury ran down to within
six degrees of zero, with clustering
winds and snow.
The snow lies six inches deep on the
ground.

A Mild Winter.

This has been an unusually Wnu
winter. Up to the last of February
the lowest that the thermometer had
been at this place was 3D. Still we
have not had the unreasonable bloom
of which Mrs Gist speaks. Peach
trees were i'm full bloom and the
orange trees full of buds. On the
night of February 2Sth, it turned cold
and in the morning. March 1st. the
mercury was down to %. This was
below freezing and there was plenty
of ice in pals and tubs. We did not
see any earth frozen. The amount of
damage from the cold was not near
So great as we expected it to be, when
we found how low the temperature

appearances. the peach bloom is not

Ously, others very little. The damage
Strangely so, considering the low
temperature Most of the Crinums, eX-
cept Capense. have the top more or
less frozen. But the vines of the
IpOmOeaS are not hurt at all. The
strangest freak of the frost is shown
by its effect upon a very large clump
of PereSkia aculeata. sometimes called
Lemon vine. This is very large
plant, II or IS years old. 1t grows
beside an old building. used as a store
house for tools, etc. The vine covers
most of one side and ran up on the
roof to the peak and almost covered
the entire roof. 1t also spreads out
from the building for some distance.
The frost killed the leaves on the sur
face of most of the spreading part of
the vine. OF the climbing part about
one half is more or less hurt, but it
is not all in one place but scattered
about here and there, in fact it is
quite curious to see the dead and liv-
ing shoots so mixed. The shoots are
not really dead only the leaves are
killed.
We should be very glad to hear from |
others as to the effects of the cold |
snap.

by That Way.

NEW BRUNSWICK, June 2S.-
Prosecutor Berdine and Sheriff
Church welN, to South Amboy, last
night, and thoroughly investigated
the hold-up which occurred about
one mile beyond Old Bridge Tuesday
night.
When seen last night Prosecutor
Berdine said "The facts of the story
as first given out are correct. The
amount taken from the Quackenboss
sisters will net neat sum. All the
money that the girls had was about
$4, but one of the young ladies had a
diamond stick pin taken. Besides this
there were numerous small articles
confiscated
Immediately after the affair hap
pened telephone communications
were attempted with South Amboy.
Central replied that the line was
busy, and when informed that hold
up had been committed and that
South Amboy was to be notified to be
on the lookout for the robbers she
replied that whether ii was a robbery
or not didn't matter, the line was
busy.
Had it not been for this" Prose
cutor Berdine said, cit is altogether
probable that the men would have
been caught, for not long after the
robbery was committed, two men an
swering the description were seen in
South Amboy, but it was an hour he
fore central allowed wire to that
place"
The Misses Quackenboss say that
the men who did the hold-up were
young and both heavy set.
Detectives in all the towns near
Old Bridge are working on the case,
and Prosecutor Berdine is doing all
in his power to capture the criminals.

knocked unconscious.
Immediately after the explosion,
DIR. Beekman was sent for and as rap
idly as possible, attended the injured
ones. The work, however, was too
much for one man to do, and he tele-
phoned for several physicians.
Mr. Samsel, the proprietor of the
store, was very badly injured about
the face and neck by the burning
kerosene and flying glass.
When talked to last evening, Mr..
Samsel said: What the exact cause

the flames when a second terrific,
laundering crash occurred, which
blew out the front and side of the
store.
81 was in the rear part of the room
when the second explosion came and
thus | escaped more serious injury.
1.-The only way that l can account
for the first explosion is that the
lamp must have leaked and when !
struck the match it took fire. What
caused the second explosion ! do not
know, but | think that some of the
fireworks must have taken fire."
The store, which was completely
wrecked, was an up-to-date grocery.
The damage to the building and stock
will probably amount to $4,000.
At late hour last evening all who
had been injured were resting COM
fortably. Alex Bloski, who was the
most severely injured, had an artery
in his wrist severad, and the hand
was almost cut off by flying glass
and he was badly burned.
Residents near Sayreville say that
when the second explosion occurred,
the report was deafening and could
be heard fully mile away.

and house, is a member of the newly
appointed board of equalization of
taxes

SAYREVILLE, June 2S.-Sayre-
Vile last night was shaken by two
explosions, following rapidly in sue
cession. The store and house of Mr..
Frank Samsel, of that place, is almost
total wreck, and eight persons were
injured, some very severely. The ex-
act cause of the explosion is not
known.
Among those injured are:
Frank Samsel, badly burned.
Catharine Samsel, slightly burned.
William Bright, face cut by glass.
Alex. Bloski, hand almost cut off.
Fred Hunt, Jr., arm badly burned.
Leo Jack, cash cut in head.
John Wick, slightly injured about
face.
Joe Keegan, slightly injured about
the arms.
The accident happened about 7:45
o'clock. In the front part of the
store is big kerosene lamp, used to
illuminate the front windows and the
front part of the store. About the
middle of the store were some fire
works.
1t was getting dark and as was Mr.
Samsels custom, he started to light
the lamp. He raised the globe and
struck a match to apply it to the wick,
when with terrific force the thing ex-
ploded, sending flying glass in all di-
rections and throwing burning kero-
sene in every part of the store
At the time there were "a few peo-
pie in the back part of the store, and
they rushed to the assistance of Mr..
Samsel to put out the fire, which
started in a dozen places in the store
room.
Outsiders hearing the explosion
rushed in and offered their assist
ance. Water was being carried from
every direction and all were busily
engaged when a second explosion ten
times louder than the first occurred,
blowing out the front and side of the
store room and completely wrecking
1t. A cook stove in the kitchen just
back of the store room, was COM
pletely shattered. To make things
worse, the fire, which began after the
first explosion, increased in size and
it was with difficulty conquered.
When the second explosion occur
red, there we're about ten people in
the store, assisting Mr. Samsel with
the fire, and all but two were injured

"HOLE IN THE WALL" DISCUSSED
IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE STATE.
Hundreds Of Automobiles Must
Take Chances of Collision
Every Day at this Point.
PLACE FOR PEDESTRIANS

The hole in the wall is the subject
of much comment at present all over
the state. Every day there is on an
average of one hundred autos and
wagons that, after crossing the new
bridge, must, In order to reach South
Amboy, enter the hole and take
chances of a collision.
The hole is supposed by many who
have not visited the place to be just
a bad place in the road, but it Is even
worse. The place in discussion Is

den and Amboy railroad, and is about
twenty feet wide and contains about
four feet of mud on the bottom. On
ly one vehicle at a time can go
through it, and from the bridge side
to the outlet on the other Is up grade
about 300 feet.
The place is at all times totally
dark, and the only provision for PEE
destrians Is foot bridge wide
enough to allow one person to go
through at time.
The county recently placed some
stone on the road in the tunnel, but
it is far from being passable at pres
ent Wagons. must wait on the out
side until the place is free from all
opposite traffic before they can enter.
Action will probably be taken to
