Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-02

to avoid exposing the roots to the sun
or the dry air. If dormant field-grown
plants have been secured, all broken
and bruised roots must be cut off
smoothly. The tops also will need cut
ting back; the cut should be made
Just above the bud or eye. Strong
growing sorts may be cut back one
fourth or one-half, according as they
have good or bad roots. Weaker
growing varieties, ever blooming roses,
should be cut back more severely. In
both cases, however, it is well to re-
move the weaker growth first.
Plants set out from pots usually re-
qure no cutting back.
The pruning of roses depends much
upon their natural features. The main
object of pruning is to strengthen the
plants, preserve them or mold their
shape and to encourage more substance
for the development of better blooms.
Set the plants in the open ground
about the same depth as they were
previously excepting budded or grated
plants, which should be planted so
that the grated point of the stock
will be two or three inches below the
surface of the ground.
Plants from pots can be planted an
inch deeper thhan they were grown
in the pots. Firm the soil we'll about
the roots, as this is very important.
Thousands of plants are lost each year
owing to negligent planting. Spread
the roots well, so that the soil gets
in easily between the fibers. Avoid
placing manure in direct contact with
the roots.
In dry seasons, and especially in
light soils, it is necessary to keep as
much moisture in the soil as poss. BILE;
we advise the application of COW ma
nure as a top dressing or mulch, which
not only prevents the rapid evapora-
tion of moisture from the soil, but pre-
vents baking and cracking. The ap-
pication of a good mulch excludes the
necessity for cultivation. and moisture
passing through the fertilizer will en-
courage a better growth in the bloom
ing season.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-02

mate and moisture to bring the rose to
perfection; all that is asked of us Is
to plant and cultivate and be thankful
that we have the queen of flowers, the
rose.
Garden roses are divided into many
groups, though all arise from com
paratively few species. Varieties
which were in great favor years ago
have disappeared from our gardens
and from the catalogues of our nur-
serymen, and in Their places have
come the exquisite hybrid perpetuals
and the tea-scented roses.
Roses delight in a sunny situation,
but our summer sun is sometimes a blt
hard on the flowers. So, while 1t is
not advisable to plant roses near large
trees or where they will be overshad-
owed by buildings, some shade during
the heat of the day will prove
benefit
The ideal soil for roses is flch,
fibrous loam-one that has a feeling of
greasiness when pressed in the hand;
if is not always possible to obtain the
ideal soil, nor is it really essenta al, as
good roses may be grown in the or
binary garden soil, providing that the
rose grower always gives the neces-
sary cultivation.
Where the soil is naturally light, the
addition of loan or even clay will i'm
prove the texture. Where cold and
heavy, it must be we'll drained, and
will be benefited by the addition of
lime. sand or leaf mold. But what
ever the soil may be. it is essential
to have it we'll drained, well fertiliZed
and thoroughly pulverized by cultlva-
ton.
Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to keeping the rose soil in good
condition. AS a rule, farmyard ma
nure is best for roses. Cow manure is
strong and lasting as a fertilizer and
has no heating effect; it will cause no
damage even if not well rotted, but
if horse manure is used care should
he taken to use only that which is
well rotted. The manure should be
well mixed with the soil and used at
the rate of one part manure to three
of soil.
There are many fertilizers used, and
some of the chemical fertilizers may be
employed with advantage, but we
should advise caution, if beginner, in
applying any fertilizer with which he
is unfamiliar.
In planting roses care must be taken
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-02

a number of artistic arrangements
which add to the beauty of the garden.
The association of golden and purple
foliage is beautiful, and shrubs with
flowers of these colors which bloom
simultaneously are very effective. Scat
tered through small trees which branch
lightly and stand erect shrubs make
good appearance.
All shrubs that flower early in sea-
son are rendered more attractive by a
background of evergreen. The beauty
of a white Towering variety is much
greater against a green background.
The shrubs of a low or a weeping
habit are especially adapted to plant
ing near the house and in positions to
break up the angularity of its founda-
tion. Tall growing varieties fit well
