GROW YOUR ROSES FROM CUT
TINGS

a good way to increase your stock
of roses is from cuttings. Select a
branch of haIf-hardened wood from a
thrifty bush; cut into four or five-inch
pieces; see that each of these has sew
eral eyes from which growth can start !;
trim off the leaves except a few near
the top of the cutting.
Keep the cuttings in a glass of wa
ter for a couple of days.
Select sunny place in the garden,
which has excellent soil. Dig it up
well and put in the slips about half
their length. Press the soil tightly
about the cuttings, water WE'LL and COW
er with Il glass jar or a large tumbler.
Keep the ground moist by pouring wa
ter around the glass without lifting it
up.
Growth should show through the
glass in a few weeks, when the plants
may be gradually accustomed to the
air. Cuttings can be taken as late
as mid-October, put down in this way
and when cold weather comes just heap
the earth high over them, glasses and
all. In the spring you will find that
more than half have survived.

Peonies are grown from a division
of old plants and also from seed. From
seed they require from five to eight
years to come into full bloom. The
following is a short list of very choice
sorts:
Officinalis tenuifolia, very early
crimson; officinalis rubra, old early
red; La France, La France rose color;
festiva maximi, paper white, center
petals edged crimson; delachei, deep
dark crimson; NJ. DUPONT, late white,
shows yellow stamens; Felix Drousse,
fine late red; ID. de Nemours, pure
white; p. Duchartre, salmon-pink, very
extra; M. M Chausae, nearly black,
very exceptional; Jenny Lind, ane sal
mon-pink; Grandifiora, grand violet
salmon-pink; Dorchester, grand soft
pink; Marie Stuart, creamy white, ex-
ira; Edulis Supera, early pink.

WAYS of Economizing Space.

When two persons are compelled to
share a single room dissatisfaction
generally prevails. But not long ago
I visited a home in which this prob
lem was admirably solved. writes NJ.
E. Brooks in the Chicago Herald.
In the largest chamber of the house
two closets had been built on opposite
sides of the room intended for two
occupants. This was excellent, so far
rs it went, but the dominating fea-
tllre of the arrangement was a double
dresser affair made of two plain enam-
eled chests of drawers, a broad board
and long mirror. The board was
E,racketed to the wall like a shelf,
about halfway up between the two
chests, and the mirror hung just above
1t. This gave a very good-looking as
we'll as very convenient dressing ia
.ble, in which the belongings of each
occupant might be kept separate
rs the house was without a bath.
two small, inexpensive washstands of
white enamel were placed in opposite
corners. Twin beds also were in
stalled, so there was no excuse of fric-

SWEET PEAS PLANTED IN THE
FALL.

In many localities in the United
States sweet peas can be planted with
success up to a very late date. Even
in sections where it is found impossi-
bic to get results from most of the
other fall flowers, thesdear little sweet
pea comes into its own.
If the November season is fine the
ground may be plowed deeply and
thick layer of rich manure is turned
under for the pea seed. The seeds
should be sowed not closer together
than four inches and not more than
one inch deep.
Although they will come up before
Christmas and often get the nip of
frost the blast is only above the sur
face and the deep roOt-grOwth leaves
the life of the plant safe and ready to
spring into fine bloom in June.
Southern regions are especially
adapted to the planting of the sweet
pea, with the assurance that the labor
viii bring a full return.
The end of October is the best time
to plant cyclamen. The seedlings
should be grown on until the flower
ing stage without any check what
ever.

have tunics and straight draperies or
trains. Possibly the upper arm of the
Empress Josephine had lost its beauti-
full shoulder line and the short pulled
sleeve of the first empire was added
to the newly evolved style because of
this fact.
In any event, first-empire styles are
adopted cousins if not actual blood re
iations, of the classic Greek dress, and
the Empress Josephine is credited with
this family intermingling.
The sketch gives a suggestion for a
Greclan style wedding gown. Ivory
white bridal satin is used with a beau
tiful Grecian pattern embroidery done
IN silver thread on the tunic, bodice
and train. The sleeves are of geor-
gette, as obviously the sleeveless gown
OF the pure Grecian period would hard
ly be advised for a twentieth century
bride
The small sketch is an exact line-for-
line copy of a first empire frock. In
the high and clearly defined waistline
one may trace the handiwork of the
Empress Josephine, as in her addi-
ton and subtraction methodist of style
designing she transformed a Grecian
costume into one that would go down
in history as Of first empire.

To Hold Ferns or Plants.

Those of our readers who have not
tried their hands at making pretty lit
tie rustic baskets for ferns or plants
will find it amusing and interesting
work and very easy TO do. These bas-
kets can be made in any size; they are
composed of a number of short twigs
of wood left in their natural state with
the bark upon them.
To make the bottom of the basket,
nail four twigs together in the manner
shown in diagram A. Then near each
end of the lower twigs make holes with
sharp bradawl and from underneath
run wires through, and upon these
wires thread two more twigS, with the
result shown in diagram B. Further
twigs, with holes made through each
end, are added, and in that way the
sides of the basket are built up. After
this has been accomplished the ends
of the wires are carried above the

Grecian and Empire Close of Kin.

RODS" that the fact that they are ac-
tually close of kin, branches of the
same family tree, is not generally rec
ogniZed.
The Empress Josephine, wife of the
great Napoleon, was during the days
of her youth and first beauty absolute
ly clothes mad. She had a mania for
beautiful fabrics and& garments of all
kinds that were different On one oc-
caSion she went to Greece, and in the
classic Grecian costume she immedi-
ately saw possibilities. At that time
fashion history intimates, Josephine
had begun to ''put on flesh" She took
the idea of the classic Greek dress
home with her, and adapted the long
graceful falling draperies to her own
figure. The girdling of a Grecian robe
does not suggest waistline, Joseph
inc added and emphasized this, and
made it high waist at that, revealing
the bust curves. She 'reefed'' the skirt
making it tight and also figure reveal
ing. Thus was the first empire style
of waistline born.
Many of the first empire gowns have
severely plain, tight skirts. Others

Struggles for Supremacy.

There are several struggles going on
III the world of dress. One has to do
with the elimination of the short, far
ing skirt for evening wear and the SUBJ
stitution of the tight, clinging skirt
that graduates into d long train at the
back. Another struggle is between the
elimination of the Anglo-Saxon uniform
known as the coat suit and the subSti-
tuition of the one-piece frock topped by
a splendid overcoat.
No matter where you go among the
dressmakers and the shops these strug-
giles are presented to you for individual
settlement.
However, the best guess in fashion
and in the art of dressing is to have a
plain mannish coat suit for the. street,
with a simple blouse and whatever fur
around the neck one can afford, and a
top coat of some kind that can be worn
over a thin one-piece frOck.

The portion of the young branch rep
resented in Fig. 1 gives an idea of the
characteristic appearance of the dis
eaSed foliage on the tree. The leaves
shown in Fig. 2 were selected to show
individual variations. The two on the
extreme left of this illustration are far
from typical of the great majority and
represent about the only specimens of
this character found, out of probably
more than one hundred collected.
While the following appears to start
frequently along the lire of the larger
leaf-veins, 1t is just as likely to appear
first in the tissues midway between
them.
In the preliminary studies made in
the field no definite clue could be OBJ
tanned as to the cause of the trouble.
Silver Leaf.
AS far as the writer has been able
to learn, the only references to this
disease in American literature are cCn-
tanned in the writing of Guissow. In
1910 he recorded its presence in Nova
Scotia. In giving the characters of the
disease he mentioned that the leaves
on the affected branches have q silvery
appearance or milky white gloss, par.
ticularly on the upper surfaces. The
epidermiS on the upper surfaces CT the
leaves is also very brittle. In this pa
per he states that when g branch is
attacked it dies as a rule, after one
or two years, and that a tree once at
tackled by silver leaf will eventually
succumb. In this paper he mentions
that some European writer's consider
the disease to be physiological, but
says that it is remarkable that Ste
reum purpureum Pers. is constantly
associated with it.

THE PEONY AND ITS CULTURE
BY G. BESTCHER.

Few people know the wealth of
beauty and perfume of the peony.
Quite everyone knows the brilliant
old red peony or 'piny" of the old
time garden. But from that to the
modern peony is great evolution.
The modern peony is superior in size,
perfume and finish to the chrysanthe-
mum, with less care and more certain
results for labor expended.
The requirements Of the peony are
simple, yet at few periods they are
very easily damaged We have large
areas to handle and cannot give them
the same care one could give a few
plants
We give the soil thorough dress
ing of fresh manure early in the fall
and sow to rye. In April we plow the
ground deeply and plant potatoes,
corn or other crops that will have
good culture.
We prefer to plant any time during
September, but planting may be done
at any time (if well watered for a few
days. from September 1 to May. We
do not approve of lifting plants in
the spring after they have begun al
ready to make a rapid and tender
growth.
Plants that are kept dormant by be-
ing dug in the fall may be planted I'M
til June with fine success. We have
planted big clumps when in full bloom
and they grew well, but we do not ad-
wise it except when absolutely neces-
sary.
When planting peonies in clayey
ground, they should be set about four
inches deep but in light, sandy or
loamy soil, five or six inches deep. Old
clumps | plant a bit deeper, leaving
the crown covered lightly until late
when more soil is drawn over them
to make the surface level.
Never use much manure the first
year on newly planted peOnies and care
should always be exercised not to
overmanure them. The best way is
to cultivate them about three inches
deep. then apply about one inch of any
manure working the ground several
times before winter sets in, or they
may be MANFRED after the ground
freezes and the manure worked into
the soil in the spring.
Keep all the weeds out of the
peonies and do not dig over three
inches deep from October until the
buds are as large as acorns Many
persons have complained about their
peonies not blooming. and upon inves-
tigation and from observations from
my own experience found that when
ever we dug deeply around plants at
the time above stated the plants either
came up blind or bore a very small
percentage of good blooms, so we
learned to employ shallow cultivation
Plant peonies in the bright sunshine
away from trees that are liable to
shade them or whose roots may sap
the plant food in the soil where they
are planted.
In lawns where peonies are planted
they should be kept we'll cultivated to
q radius of about two feet Watering
is unnecessary except in severe dry
weather. Never plant peonies where
the crowns are likely to be covered
with water longer than a very short
time Peonies under water for several
days are likely to be very quickly
spoiled.
