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 do not
have much effect upon them. Arsenate
of lead, when used in strong solutions
1.-TWO and a half ounces to a gallon) i,
will keep them quite we'll in check,
but this material discolors the foliage.
In the early morning, when the bugs
are somewhat dormant, they may be
picked off by hand, or knocked into a
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
fly, 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 a 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 if 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.

Roses-queens Of the American
flower gardenl
The increasing tendency OF people
70 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.
It 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 long time It 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 eul-
ture OF flowers in general, and of the
rose in particular, and its 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 exeels 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

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,
ly dormant, should give satisfactory
quantity Of flowers the first summer.
In planting, the tops should be cut
down to two OF three buds.
Many fail at this point TO prune close
enough. On well 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 a start of everblooming roses either
from cuttings of the blooming wood,
or from cuttings Of mature wood rooted
during winter while in a semi-dormant
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-05-11

Roses must have good air and plenty
OF Il, 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 well away from them they will
be robbed IT 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-
tons 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.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-05-11

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 clump Of trees for two
hours after noon such 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 cool, moist soil, and for
this treason the heavier type is better,
carrying as 1t does large amount of
moisture, and being also a little lower
in temperature.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-05-11

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 whiting 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. IL 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 most valua-
BILE insect destroyer
To the lovers Of the rose, these diff
ficulties in its 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
al flowers.

Most Important Groups.

Roses of to-day are of complex line
age, for old and new species have been
crossed and recrossed until now our
cultivated roses are divided into more
than thirty general groups. The most
important of these are: Moss, Rugosa,
Hybrid Teas, Persian roses and few
June roses among the stiff, upright
growing sorts Of medium to tall
growth; Polyanthus, upright but
dwarf and Teas, of low or half re-
cumbent habit. The latter, by some
classifers, are again sub-divided into
China, Bourbon, etc, of which classes
the teas and hybrid teas are the most
beautiful. They bloom longer than
other types, hence they have been
most widely grown.
For colder climates the hybrid per-
petuals are a most valuable class, be-
ing generally harder and larger
bloomers, though they do not bloom so

from that of the bud, the wood being

the leaves being seven in number of

most OF the budded kinds
Budded roses should be planted deep
so that the bud is at least three inches

there will be less trouble from the

and any eyes or buds that are starting
