PROPAGATION OF THE ROSE,

Majority ne Budded PIants-No Garden

Be Abundantly.

to argue for their own method OF
propagation. But of late years many
eminent rosarians have pronounced
themselves in favor of budded plants.
A prominent firm of rose-growers at
Rochester, N. Y, that is known the
world over for the excellence Of its
roses, concretely expressed this con-
viction as follows:
We find many varieties OF roses
grown on this stock (ManettD adapt
themselves to greater range OF cli-
mate and soil, bloom more profusely,
endure better the heat of the summer
and make far stronger plants than IL
grown from their own roots. Many
object to budded roses on account OF
the suckers they sometimes throw
out; but If proper attention is paid to
the planting, this will rarely be an
annoyance. Budded roses should be
planted sufficiently deep, so that the
junction of the bud with the stock is
| from two to three inches below the
surface of the earth. If despite this
precaution, wild shoot should hap
pen to start from the base, the growth
and foliage of the stock are SO distinct
that It is readily recognized by the
most inexperienced amateur and Is
easily removed.
Another authority on this subject
goes even further and contends that
many fine varieties of the queenly
| flower are utterly worthless unless
they are budded. My own experience
comedies with that referred to above.
| Moreover, found that 1t is possible,
as a rule, to replace budded roses
more cheaply than those grown on
their own roots, which Is another
point in their favor, particularly in
localities where many roses are liable
to be winter-killed.
Roses may be grown to perfection
in ordinary garden soil, provided they
! are planted in a sunny, sheltered loca-
ton, away from the roots Of large
trees, for these will absorb all the life
sustaining nutrition Of the soil, where
as young trees and dwarf shrubbery
do no harm. If the soil is naturally
poor, however, it is advisable to lay a
substantial foundation for future good
results, by substituting a quantity OF
lean, sand and fertilizer, in the fol
lowing proportions:
To each wheelbarrow load of Loan
which, by the way, may be readily
obtained under the sod Of the field OF
by the roadside-add one-third Of Its
bulk of well-rotted stable manure and
some sand, If that constituent should
be lacking.
This conglomeration should be thor
oughly mixed by being spaded to 6
depth of a foot, and is then ready fol
the reception of her majesty, Queer
Rosa, as she was termed by Dear
Hole, the man who had roses in hil
heart as we'll as in his garden. Rose
roots penetrate deeply when they have
chance, but 1t should be remem
bered that they will not thrive II
stagnant soil, hence good drainage i!
essential.
The question naturally presents 1t
self as to which is the best time tt
plant roses, but the broad extent o
our country precludes definite reply
Generally speaking, however, mid
spring should receive the preference
and 1t is better to be little too early
than too late.

Three Bad Weeds

In our meadows there are three par.
ticularly bad ones, viz; narrow-leaved
dock (rumex crispus), red root or
pigeon weed (lithospermum arvense)
and false fax (camelina sativa).
The reason why these are bad weeds
is because their seeds ripen by the
time the hay Is cut. The seeds OF
these plants are returned to the land
along with the litter and manure and
thus may be spread to new areas. I'm.

RAPE FOR LATE SUMMER
AND AUTUMN PLANTING
ByR. S. SHAW,
Dean Of Agriculture,
Michigan Agricultural College

The use of the rape plant on Amer
lean farms is not as common as other
crops which have been grown for a
longer period and are better known.
In the early stages OF its growth its
leaves resemble, and can scarcely be
distinguished from the rutabaga, but
as development proceeds the energies
of the plant are used for the produc-
ton of stems and profusion of leaves
rather than for the production of a
large dubious root as in the case OF
the rutabaga. The tender stems and
leaves of this plant furnish excellent
pasturage for sheep and swine dur
ing the latter part of the season when
grass pastures are dry and scant.
Rape may be introduced in a num-
Der of places in planning the farm
crop system; 1t seldom occupies a
place In a rotation of cereals and hay
crops. Rape may be sown along with
oats but II is safest to broadcast and
harrow after the oats are up for fear
of the rape making too much growth
before harvest, thus interfering with
harvesting, curing and threshing. This
crop can also be grown along with
corn by broadcasting Just previous to
the last cultivation.
Rape makes a good cover for the
bearing orchards where permanent
sod conditions are not desired. This
combination is ideal for both sheep
and swine. II can also be grown on
fields or portions Of fields where ear
lier sown cereal crops have failed
from a variety of causes. Soils not
we'll suited to grain production. such
as well drained muck, will produce
good crops OF rape.
This crop is adapted to a variety of
soils though the best results are Sc
cured from the more substantial
loans. 1t is a gross feeder and re-
spends quickly to fertilizers. Impov-
erished sands and extremely heavy
clays are not we'll suited to rape pro-
cuction.
The earlier spring paintings are
more productive, as growth continues
unless too severely pastured the first
time Seedlings may be made as late
as August /, but success later in the
season is dependent on heavy rainfall
TO start the crop quickly.
The lands should be prepared az for
cereal crops In early spring. but as
the season progresses more attention
must be given to thorough pulveriza-

Nothing can be said In praise OF the
rose that has not been said before.
Universally recognized as the most
beautiful flower, 1t is the one child Of
Flora around which wealth OF senti-
ment, history and poetry clusters. The
maidens of ancient Greece and Rome
adorned themselves with chaplets and
garlands Of roses, as does the maiden
Of today, and then as now the rose
was regarded as the emblem of beauty
and true worth, fit to crown a queen.
No wonder, then. that 1t is so highly
esteemed that even the orchid, so
often regarded rs its rival, will never
supersede it in popular estimation.
OF late the beauty of the rose has
been so widely appreciated that the
popularity it now enjoys and the de-
mand for hardy garden roses are an
nually increasing. No garden is COM
plete without roses and every family
ought to. grow them in abundance, for
never have roses been so cheap and
beautiful as now. Moreover, the culti-
walton of the flower Is so simple that
no excuse can be offered for it's neg
lect.
The first requisite for success In
rose growing is the selection Of good
healthy plants. Weak, sickly roses
are dear at any price. Many of these
plants lack vigor because they are
stunted by remaining too long in the
