FALL PLANTING OF ROSES
BY PRISCILLA PAkE.

Fall planting of roses may be done
In November, or even as late as the
middle of December, with excellent re-
suits.
Roses planted in the fall however,
should be set deep and banked well
with earth just before the ground
freezes. 1t is also we'll to cover the
soil about the plants with manure,
which should not be removed until the
middle of April, or until all danger
from a severe frost is over, whereupon
this dressing may he forked under.
When the rose plants are received
from the nurseryman they should be
unpacked as soon as they come to
hand. Thereupon the tops and roots
after which they should be covered
with bagging and placed in shaded
spot until ready to plant.
If the ground is not prepared when
them in shallow trench and cover the
roots with loose soil until the ground
can be put into proper condition.
The enrichment of the soil, however,
should not only be made ut the time of
the preparation of the bed before plant
ing, but in the spring of every year,
for with such attention q bOuntiful
supply of flowers may be expected
every season.
When planting, spread the roots out
carefully and do not cross them or
crowd them. They should be placed
well below the surface of the soil and
arranged, as far as possible, in their
natural position.
When the roots are covered the
earth should be firmly pressed down
upon them, particularly around the
stem. If manure is put in the bottom
of the hole it should not be allowed to
come in contact with the roots.
After planting, the roses should be
well cut back TO a few buds, freely wa
tered and protected for a few days if
the sun is strong. After that they will
have become thoroughly established.
If the ground is wet when the plants
are received it is better TO postpone
the planting as the soil is liable to
become baked and the safety of the
plants may be thus endangered.
During a dry season the rose re-
quires plenty of water, and frequently
soaking the bed with liquid manure
will be beneficial. The moisture may
ton.
In the winter the roses should be
protected with good mulch, which is
best done by covering the roots IN De
cember with coarse litter, or leaves, to
about six inches in depth, or they may

Running water in the kitchen is a

BERLIN OF THE EIGHTIES
Some Pleasant RecoIlectiors of Der
Ate Kaiser and His Son
and Grandson.

At that time Berlin was much less
than half its present size. The popu-
laton was probably 100000, and as
there were some 10000 soldiers sta
toned in and about Berlin one who
had never seen military officer in
his life, except in a parade of the
militia on Decoration day, met these
gayly uniformed gentlemen at every
turn, In the streets, in the cafes, and
in all places of public resort, with no
little surprise. This experience of IL
self induced reflection. What were all
these officers and soldiers doing?
Why were they withdrawn from pro-
ductive industry? Why We're they so
quickly deferred to 10y the civilian
population? Such questions as these
the young American asked, and he re-
ceived replies that revealed to him,
again for the first time, different
view of the state and of government
10 any that he had come in contact
with at home.
New and interesting experiences
President Nicholas Butler of Colum-
bia in Scribner's. Emperor William
!. der alte kaiser, as he was ailec-
tionately called by the populace, was
TO be seen every morning in the win
dow of his working room at the pal
ace, at the corner of what was then
called the Opera Platz. 1t was the
custom of his majesty to return 10y
gracious gesture every greeting from
one who might pass his window, and
to rise in his place and formally salute
whenever a body of troops, however
small, passed by. The crown prince,
who was, after nearly Il decade, to
come TO the throne for a few short
weeks as Emperor Friedrich III, was
the very ideal of manly dignity and
beauty, and seemed to incaruate in his
own person the attributes and tradi-
tons of royalty. His eldest son, now
and for more than n quarter of cen
fury past the German emperor, was
an officer of the garrison. lie was
frequently seen driving or riding about
the city, and came into familiar con
verse with Il considerable group of
young men, among whom occasionally
an American student was included.
The daily sight of royalty and of the
imperial trappings and ceremonies
gave to the institution a reality that
it had never before had in the Amer
leans mind.

CLEMATlS GOOD VINE

Clematis, panniculata, is one of our
most popular vines. 1t seems entire
ly free from disease and is unusually
hardy. It's foliage is attractive and
its small white blossoms which com
pletely cover the vine make a glorious
spectacle over porcheS and pergolas.
One of its chief attractions is that
it does not come into bloom until
after all the other vines are faded ana
yellow. 1t is Il rapid grower.
Clematis must be planted in a soil
of good loan, well drained. Give II
