ing branches, including any that
may be found with discOlored
pith. Cutting off the ends of
branches should be avoided.
Most Of the roses suggested for
border planting are improved by
having the whole top cut off ev-
cry FIVE or six years. All prun-
ing Of these roses should be done
In the spring, as summer or fall
pruning would remove the hips
prematurely and thus rob the
plants of much of their attrac-
tiveness during the winter.
Border and lawn roses are
hardy and need protection only
under extremely trying condi-
tions. In the arid plains region,
If the autumn has been excep-
tionally dry, 1t may be advisable
the first winter to provide good
mulching after the soil has been
thoroughly soaked. Covering will
be unnecessary.

There Are Many Varieties.


Prepared by the U. S. department
Of agriculture.
THERE is a multitude of
Il varieties Of roses Of differ
ent hues available for use in a
cut flower garden, so that every
rose gardener should be able to
find some to please him. The
principal groups of these are
hybrid perpetuals, teas, hybrid
teas, Bengals, Bourbons and
Chinas.
The hybrid perpetuals are the
hardest of the cut flower roses
and are the only ones to be re-
lied upon In the colder. parts Of
the country and in the rural dis
tricts Of the dry land region.
They usually bloom only in the
early summer, but sometimes
bloom second time If thorough
ly pruned, especially if given a
midsummer check by dry wealth
er. In the warmer sections with
plenty Of moisture the hybrid
teas are more desirable. When
properly treated the latter bloom
from spring until cold weather.
They will succeed on the south
ern portions of the great plains
If they can be irrigated, but are
not adapted to the sections of
that region where irrigation is
not available.
Tea roses are more tender than
hybrid teas. Although some Of
them are weak growers, they
are most attractive. They sue
ceed well In the south Atlantic
and gulf states and on the Pa
cific coast. These and the hy-
brid teas provide the most sat
isfactory roses In the regions
where they succeed.
The China or Bengal rose Is
one Of the forms from which a
great many of the garden roses
have been developed. But few of
these varieties are now offered
by nurserymen.
The Bourbon rose is best known
through the variety Souvenir de
la Malmaison, which in hardi-
ness compares favorably with
the hybrid teas. There also are
other varieties.

Pruning Border and Lawn Roses,

Pruning Border and Lawn Roses.
Prepared by the U. S. department
of agriculture.
THE purposes for which roses
4 are planted largely will de-
termine the pruning methods to
be employed. At the time Of
planting border and lawn roses
one-half to two-thirds of the
wood should be removed. At
later prunings weak branches
should be taken off, and long
canes that would be liable to
whip around and loosen the plant
should be cut back. AS far as
practicable, pruning other than
this should be accomplished by
cutting out whole branches rath-
er than by cutting off the ends.
After the first year pruning
should consist Of removing dead,
