In his opinion better results would be

title to the coal lands and lease rather
than sell them. Leasing he said would

to 160 acres for an individual and $40
acres for an association, was responsible
for the alleged frauds, as these amounts
are too small to warrant requisite expen-

Roses-queens of the American
flower garden.
The increasing tendency of people
10 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 favoritea-and
OF the humblest menial-the rose.
Il is astonishing what varied types
in nature there are of this flower. amt
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 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 cul-
ture OF flowers in general. and of the
rose in particular and its special re-
qulremeuts are better understood.
While verandas and trellises of
country homes may have their honey
suckles. and lilaes may bloom in
abundance. nothing excels in beauty
or fragrance the climbing roses when
in their gorgeous and glorious bloom.
There Is no flower 5eser with more

is increasing. The harder it is to pro-

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 location would
be ideal.
The greatest pleasure to be derived
from flowers is to have them for the
freest possible use and 10 give 20
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 its best
development cool, moist soil, and for
this reason the heavier type is better,
carrying as it does large amount of
moisture, and being also a little lower
in temperature.

Most Important Groups.

Roses OF to-day are of complex line
age for old and new species have been
crossed and reerossed 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 a 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 su5-diyided into
China, Bourbon, etc, of which classics
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 most valuable class, be-
ing generally harder and larger
bloomers, though they do not bloom SO

The eggs are laid in the soil, generally
in light or sandy land; they are not
often troublesome in heavy soil.

have much effect upon them. Arsenate

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 n
pan Of kerosene held underneath the
branches. This is a most difficult pest
to control. 1t will also attack grapes
and other fruits.
The rose slug is the larva of the saw
fIy, 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 dusting 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.

How to Grow Cuttings.

How can you root summer cuttings?
Make a or 5-inch cutting of 4 rose
branch that is coming into bloom. or
is just through blooming Cut just be
low an eye, leaving n small heel CT
strip of bark attached. Trim off the
lower set of leaves even with the wood

tings in wet sand up to the last ey2
Put them in the window and keep con.
stantly damp until they root. which
should be in from . to weeks. Teas
root easily by this method.
| To root from semi-dormant wood:
| About the beginning of autumn, Sop
tember in the North, October in the
South, take your cuttings. Several
may be made from one cane as pretty
well ripened wood roots after this
method as well 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 q
handful of sand at the bottom If you
have it, and put in your cuttings set

then bank up the earth a couple OF
inches around the can. Let the cut

found then that nearly every cuttinl
has rooted. This plan seems to be
success wherever it is tried. North
South, East or West. Nearly all hybri,

way. So do moss. memorial and ram

In the culture of roses the creates
trials and disappointments are me
with in the insects that pcrsistently at
tack them and of which there ar,
many. One of the first in the earl.
summer is the green fly or aphis.
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-05-18

Ro.es must have good air and plenty
of 10, 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 rebbed OF plant food by the roots Of
the tN Z. 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 m!ldew
and b!iRhts follow from sheltered loga-
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 building. This de-
pends largely upon the prevailing
winds and the exposure of the locality.

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 a 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 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, hy-
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

are quite apt to throw ont 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 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 he 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 should be carefully taken

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 diluted form once n

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 hatched 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 n 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. 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 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 most valua-
BILE insect destroyer.
To the lovers of the rose, these diff
ficulties in its culture, great as they
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.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission, acting
under joint resolution of congress
approved by President Roosevelt, has
begun an investigation in this city to
ascertain whether railroads directly or
otherwise have any interest in the coal
or oil which they transport as COM
mon carriers.
Upton H. White, the statistician of
the Tidcwater Steam Bituminous Coal
Traffic association, was the first wit
ness. The association has an Office
in this city. The witness said the as
sociation was made up Of the Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio, Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western,
the New York Central's Beach Creek
division and the Philadelphia and
Reading railroads. Mr.. White stated
that he would produce the contract If
ordered to do so. He said his duties
we're the gathering Of statistics of tide
water tonnage and the issuing of
statements Of it to the roads. He said
the statements furnished showed how
much each road IS entitled to move.
The witness stated that he reported
deficits and excesses. 4 s5
