Nlaht caps for The Roses.

Remarkable are the pains which one
English amateur gardener takes to
protect his pet roses from the sun. the
rain and heavy dews. He gives each
rose night cap. Alongside each of
the rose bushes an upright stake 1s
driven into the ground with arms from
which are suspended waterproof cones.
The cones are adjusted SO that each
one acts as an umbrella or sunshade
for the rose it is to protect. In the
morning the cones are taken off. II
the sun Is too strong in the middle Of
the day the cones are put on again.
They are always in place in case OF a
heavy shower, and at night each goes
to sleep beneath its protecting cone,
where the heavy dews cannot spoil its
shape and beauty.
