The Care Of Roses

Hardy out door roses require con-
siderable attention for the best re-
suits. Good flowers are difficult to
obtain from old wood and severe
spring pruning should be practiced
The old bushes should be cut back
to within six or eight inches Of the
ground, 80 as to encourage strong,
vigorous growing shoots. The num-
ber OF shoots left of the old wood
should be from three to four, and from
each OF these shoots new branches
or shoots will grow. which in turn
will bear the blossoms. II no prun.
ing is don. the old wool will semi

small and poorly developed blossoms
with short stems and Of poor lasting
quality. The plants can not be kept
in vigorous growth and produce good
blossoms without the production OF
new wood, for the blossoms are borne
on the current years growth.
The soil in the bed should be given

Water often and do not fail to irri-

down the weeds. Better seed alfalfa
on clean land. but cut off with
mower If the weeds get started Do
not clip alfalfa till the crown buds
have developed. Grasshoppers often
injure a stand of alfalfa by eating off
the leaves and tops before the buds
have started at the surface OF the
ground. Early seeding is preferred
on this account. In securing the high
