native varieties. many Of them grow

least 1000 hybrids. They give blooms
two months. and in California flowers

WHEN 10 PLANT AND PRUNE
ROSES.

Where the winters are not too Sc
vere, as In the Pacific coast States and
in the Southern States. autumn plant
ing is undoubtedly best. In all our
Northern States, that Is. all north Of
the Ohio River. only the hybrid per-
petuals. moss roses. hardy climbers
and rugosas are suitable for autumn
planting.
Two or three-year-old plants should
ne cut back to three or four buds on
the hybrid perpetuals. cutting the stem
Just above n bud that points out.
Hybrid perpetuals and most hardy
roses should be Druned In the early
spring, March or early April in the
vicinity of New York. Tender roses.
including the hybrid teas, need not be
pruned until the buds begin to swell,
usually In April.

Of watering or mulching seems to be Of

n WINDOW BOXES.

II people living in cities knew how
easily they might have flowers bloom
Ing ali winter I think every home
would be cheered by these lovlest Of
decorations. The requisite articles are
n or more boxes, n sprayer, some
good soil and the plants. =
The box should be about 8 inches
deep by 10 wide and Of any required
length. The material may be pottery,
which Ii handsome but somewhat ex.
pensive, or iron with false bottom for
drainage. Wooden boxes are as good
as any II painted inside and out with
two coats Of some neutral color. Place
in the bottom Of the box an inch or
two OF coarse stones. broken pottery,
&C., to facilitate drainage.
A tin pan to set the box in will keep
the brackets eat II can be secured
from Q tinsmith.
The box can be mounted on brackets
or on q portable stand; the latter Is
preferable because It permits the box
to be moved easily from room to room
for spraying and also to be turned
with its best side outward.
The chief dificuity with house
plants Il lack Of moisture. However,
II the plants are well soaked c a
week by placing the boxes on their
sides In . bathtub Of warm water for
ten minutes the roots will have SUI.
hcient moisture and by spraying the
foliage well with water every other
day and occasionally with kerosene
emulsion the plants will be free from
insects.
Obtain a good topsoil from q florist.
Make four inch pots from strong
brown paper and put q plant in eJch
pot. hllInGk the pot with soil. Put two
inches Of soil in the bottom Of the
window box over the broken pottery,
place the potted plants on this bed Of
earth and pack the space between the
pots with soil and moss. This helps
to retain the moisture and keeps the
soil damp. The moss can b secured
In New York city from wooded areas
In The Bronx and In northern New
Jersey from the Orange Mountains or
from . florist.
Satisfactory plants for winter
blooming are cycAmens. geraniums,
h~eliotropes. lowering naples. caiias,
tulips. primula mlacoides. narosst,
&c.
Some good climbing plants are Eng.
lsh and German ivy. Cobra, japanese
hops, smilax and manettia vine.
