WORK IN THE ROSE GARDEN
BY HUGO ERICHSEN.

Nothing can be said in praise of the
rose that has not been said before.
Universally recognized as the most
beautiful flower, it is the one child of
Flora around which wealth of SEN
timent, history and poetry clusters.
The beauty Of the rose is so widely
appreciated that the popularity 1t 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
so cheap and beautiful as now.
Moreover, the cultivation of the
flower is 50 simple that no excuse can
be offered for it's neglect
The first requisite for success in
rose growing is the selection Of good
healthy plants Weak, sickly roses
are dear nj any price. Many Of these
plants lack yigor because they arc
stunted 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 iirstclass nursery
men only, firms that are prepared to
furnish strong, well rooted plants, such
as win make a showing the first sea.
son and develop into vigorous speci.
mems.
In selecting roses for the garden, it
is well to know that those plants are
grown in two WAYS that Is to say, on
their own roots or budded low on the
Manctti, a brier rose that has largely
superseded tho dogrose and other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 a quandary, because growers are
apt to argue for their own method OF
propagation.
We find many varieties Of roses
grown on this stock CManettD adapt
themselves to a greater range of eli
mate and soil, bloom more profuseIy,
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 &C.
count of the suckers they sometimes
throw out but If proper attention Is
paid to the planting this will rarely be
an annoyance.
Buddcd roses should be planted suf-
fciently deep, SO that the junction of
the bud with the stock is from two 10
three inches below the surface of the
earth If despite this preCaution. a
wild shoot should happen to start from
the base the growth and foliage Of the
stock are so distinct that It ia readily
recognized by the most inexperienced
amateur and Ia easily removed

from the nurserymcn they should be

Fioht Sunday Closing.

Oshkosh. Cigar manufacturers and
cigar makers of this city presented
resolutions against the Sunday closing,
which petition was filed by the Mems
Christian Workers league for closing
on Sundays. Unfair competition in
the sales of foreign brand cigars if
Sunday closing is effected is the argu-
ment. They believe that neighboring
cities would be benefciar<s of the
Sunday trade if Oshkosh saloons were
closed.

Task May Be Performed Without
slightest Injury--Sometimes Wise
to Supply Little Rich Soil.

That Is not a difficult task, When
trees are dormant, or when the earth
is frozen somewhat, dig around the
tree at a distance OF from two to three
feet, and lift considerable ball OF
earth with the uninjured roots, to the
cavity previously prepared, and pack
soil carefully about the roots. Trees
thus moved should not be injured In
the least, and instances are known
where pear trees moved after they
had been growing for a few years
seemed to make more rapid growth.
II the earth at the point where the
trees are reset is rather thin, due to
a clay subsoil, 1t would be wise TO
supply little rich soil or well-rotted
manure in the bottom of the prepared
cavity. DO not place fresh manure In
the holes for trees, especially in cases
where trees are reset after few years
growth.
