 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
 When the rose plants are received
 from the nurserymcn they should be
 unpacked as soon as they come to hand. Thereupon the tops and roots
 should be well sprinkled with water,
 after which they should be covered
 with bagging and placed in a shaded | spot until ready to plant
 If the ground is not prepared when
 the plants arrive it is advisable to | put them in a shallow trench and cover the roots with loose soil until the ground can be put into a proper condition.
 The enrichment of the soil, how
 ever, should not only be made at the time of the preparation of the bed be- fore planting, but in the spring of every year. for with such attention a | bountiful supply of flowers may be ex- | pected 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.
 Roses may be grown to perfection
 in ordinary garden soil, provided they
 are planted in a sunny, sheltered loca.
 tion, 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 l poor, however, it is advisable to lay
 a substantial foundation for future good results.

WORK IN THE ROSE GARDEN
By HUGO ERICHSEN.

I
 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 a wealth of sen- timent, history and poetry clusters.
 The beauty of the rose is so widely appreciated that the popularity it now enjoys and the demand for hardy gar den roses are annually increasing No garden is complete without roses, and every family ought to grow them in abundance, for never have roses been SC cheap and beautiful as now.
 Moreover, the cultivation of the flower is so simple that no excuse can be offered for its neglect
 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 5tunted by remaining too long in the cutting bed or in small pots before they are set out
 In order to obtain the best results therefore, it is advisable to restrict ones patronage to frst-class nursery men only, firms that are prepared to furnish strong, well-rooted plants, such as will make showing the first sea son and develop into vigorous speci. mems.
 In selecting roses for the garden, 1t q tn hot n1o grown in two ways, that is to say, on their own roots or budded low on the Manetti, brier rose that has largely superseded the. dog-rose and other stocks in this country, as it is one of the most desirable for our country and climate.
 Experts are divided on the question as to which should receive the prefer. ence, and the beginner is liable to be in quandary, because growers are apt to argue for their own method of propagation.
 We find many varieties of roses grown on this stock (ManettD adapt themselves to greater range of eli mate and soil, bloom more profusely endure better the heat of the summer and make far stronger plants than if grown from their own roots.
 Many object to budded roses on ac count 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 suf ficiently deep, so that the junction oi the bud with the stock is from two tC three inches below the surface of the

 v ably the most discouraging
 econo nomic difficulties brought about by the world war for any neutral country, for it depends upon other nations for most of it's raw materials, for much of it's supply of wares for home consumption, and for the handling of all it's over-sea busi- ness, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society.
 Although not quite one-third as large as New York state without any important coal and iron deposits, and unable to produce enough food to cov- CT the demands of it's people, Switz- erland, nevertheless, has, due to sev- eral great advantages which balance the unfaVorable conditions, progressed in wealth and comforts on even terms with it's powerful neighbors. It has become an industrial country of first rank and at the outbreak of the war, it possessed an important and growing commerce with many countries.
 Like Holland, the remarkable prog ress of Switzerland must be credited to the character of the people and to the encouragement of their free insti- tutions. Nearly half of the country is largely unproductive. All of that part of Switzerland which lies toward Italy in the south is a bare, snow-and-ice crowned mountain land, including un- exploited forests and a few high pas Iyo hn ,nrfh nIr 70 stance, are found rich vineyards, while above the vineyards on the middle slopes of the Juras, are pas ture lands where the COWS are kept, from whose milk the famous Swiss cheeses are made

tion:
"Ts Washington Square Bohemia? =
Confessing that he didn't know much
about the Bohemian life except what
ne had read and heard, the Rev. Mr..
PETTY answered the question by asking
some other questions. He took for ms
highest type Of Bohemian John Huss,
who was burned at the stake as an
arch hereto in 14li.

social ills they despised, then they were
all right and he was for them, said Mr:
Petty. He believed that they were all
that. They might wear long hair and
flowing neckties, but underneath the
surface he was convinced they had a
serious purpose, and were revolving; as
did Jesus Christ whom he described as
"the greatest Bohemian who ever

COTTON MARKET NARROWER
Tall River Business Below Production,
but Prices Are Unusually High

Fall River, Mass. Nov. 26.-The vol
ume OF business actually accomplished
In the cotton goods markets last week
was not large by any means; in fact
the total sales fell below the weekly
production. In spite of the relatively
moderate business executed. trading was
stehdy and rl.ces IN few instances
were advanced. There were no conces-
sions as far as could be learned.
Not within a generation have the
cotton goods markets endured such
trmness and strength as at present.
Prices are ruling unusually high and
manufacturers are in position where
they can demand, full asking prices for
their goods and can insist upon pre-
MUM prices n desired goods can be
readily furnished.
Wide goods OF odd constructions were
IN good demand last week, and a size
able business was reported. The mar
row division OF tho markets is very
strong, although not unusually active.
There Is very little change TO report
IN the fine goods situation, and manu-
faeturers cay that they are not in a
position 70 take on much new business
because the orders which they have
already accepted will engage their ma.
chlnery for several months.
The call for twills, Epecialties and
sateens has been fair. The raw cottor
market continued 20 rule high last
week. and IL has been q source Of con-
siderable worriment 20 manufacturers
and buyers alike. While prices are
very high, there is every reason TO
believe that they will 20 higher, be-
cause wages Of the mills operatives
bave been advanced 10 per cent, and
this means increased cost 20 manu-
fseture. Tho cotton yarn markets were
active in certain directions last week;
the demand Is keen enough, but some
spinneYs have hit upon a scheme to
quote fabulous prices for their output,
apparently for the purpose of discour-
aging buyers.
II 90 happens that these spinners
have their output sold away ahead and
are not interested IN new business lust
now. The total sales last week are
estimated at 225.000 pieces. of which
about 10000 pieces are spots. The week
closed with the demand for all lines
very good but manufacturers rather
slow sellers on contracts.
