Some people object to sour milk or

The New Blue Rose, VeiIchenblau,
and Roses Generally.
Rose gardening is lent new zest
by the recent addition OF that rare
elimination of long and scientific eff
fort. "the blue rose" Through the
alchemy of the patient and expert
hybridizer, this rare creation, long
deemed an impossibility, comes as an
added treasure to those who find
much happiness among their roses. 1t
comes endorsed by our leading flor.
lists, who in recent assemblage de-.
cided that at last we have rose
worthy of being called blue; violet
blue, it's pretty name, as Neilchenblau
indicates. Its European introducers
describe It: "Blue flowers, appearing
in large clusters, semi-double, medium
size. Has snowy, yellow stamens,
and with the blue flowers it is par
ticularly attractive. Very strong
grower, glossy, green foliage and few
prickly thorns." An enthusiastic
florist thus describes it: In Veilchen-
blau we have an improved and glori'
fed free-fowering Rambler, a seed
ling from the famous Crimson RAM
bier. The flowers are violet-blue in
color; a perpetual scorce of wonder;
standing out in graceful form in large
clusters, individual flowers measuring
from one and one-half to two inches
across. This new rose is perfectly
hardy, the growth vigorous, and with
it's beautiful foliage is we'll entitled
to the honor of the title. Queen of all
Roses" A new rose, blooming In a
color hitherto unknown in the vast
rose family, and with the hardness
and rampant growth of the ramblers
Is truly an acquisition, and florists
are anticipating its combination with
the red and the white ramblers in
national color effects.
Heretofore the crimson rambler has
led In Its class, tho most popular OF
all roses, both in point Of vigor and
rampant growth. A strong, healthy
plant will send up shoots from ten to
twenty feet in height in q single sea
son, easily climbing the second story
and over.arching Its windows when
planted in rich deep loan with ar

The Housewives Task.
In the smaller towns and In tho

the housewife to devise her own

common, that cannot be too quickly

sweepings in the back-yard-on tho

Exterior Decorating.

Planting the garden should primar-
lily be regarded as a means of enhanc-
ing the exterior of the house. And in
doing this the house itself, its archi-
tcctural style. size and surroundings
should or rather must be taken into
consideration or weird and incon-
gruous results will follow. For in
stance, what could be more absurd
than a large and elaborate archway,
suitable to big Colonial mansion, in
front of small suburban cottage?
Or grandiose, park-like effects at
tempted in a small square of ground
barely q quarter Of an acre in area?
The prime general maxim to re-
mombcr Isl "Plant garden along
the lines of least resistance" Keep
the entrance in scale and also tho
paths. Consider which IS the best
view and then put your shrubs so as
to attract attention in that direction.
Some vicWs are too panoramic so that
the good points Of house are over
