Timely Home Gardening Hints Series
ROSES FOR VARIOUS USES AND HOW TO GROW THEM
(ofee Of Information. Y. s. Department Of AereuIturel

Washington, d. c., March Sob
seryance before the fall and spring
planting, OF q few considerations not
usually taken into account by amateur
rose growers, will add greatly to the
possibilities of the rose as beauti-
fer of the town or country home, say
flower specialists OF the u. s. depart
ment Of agriculture. The various uses
to which roses may be put in achiev-
ing ornamental effects and the care
that should be taken of the plants un-
der different conditions are described
in Farmers Bulletin 75O. issued by
the department.
Roses are divided in the bulletin ac-
cording to their uses into: roses for
lawn and border. roses for arbor and
tre1lis, cut-fiower roses. hedge roses,
roses. Soil fertilizing and planting
conditions for the several types OF
roses are practically the same. The
types differ markedly. however. in
habits OF growth and hardness and
require, therefore. the application OF
essentially different treatment in
pruning and for propagation and pro-
lection.
Soils and Fertilizers.
The principal essentials in soils for
rose growing are thorough drainage
and a plentiful supply OF organic mat
ter, with a reasonably constant wat
er supply during the growing sea-
son. A soil capable of growing good
garden or field crops is, in general,
good for roses. Rotted COW manure
is the best fertilizer. Any other well
rotted manure or compost will serve
the purpose, however. The use of
fresh manure, especially horse ma
nure, should be avoided. If used. I'M
der no circumstances should it be al
lowed to touch the roots. OF the COM
meroial fertilizers. ground bone is ex-

cellent. but will not take the place of
compost. Cottonseed meal may be
used in the same way as bone Wood
ashes are sometimes helpful addi-
ton.
Planting.
Planting distances for roses will be
determined by the purposes of the
planting and the habits of the varie-
ties chosen. On lawns and along bor-
ders the plants should be spaced so
that when they reach maturity they
will come together without over
crowding. For cut a separate bed
should be maintained so that special
care can be given. Roses in such a
bed should be spaced somewhat widely
to facilitate thorough cultivation.
Climbing roses require much plant
food and should be planted in a gem
erously sized hole filled with good
soil.
Early spring planting is advisable in
the extreme northern portion of the
United States and on the western
plains. In other regions fall planting
Is advantageous, but the difference is
not sufficiently great to warrant post
poning planting from spring until
autumn when the rose grower Is ready
at the earlier season. The planting in
spring should be done as soon as the

planting should follow Immediately
the falling Of the leaves from trees and
bushes. In general, rose plants should
be set out as soon as possible after
they arrive from the nursery, and If
1t is impossible to plant Immediately,
the plants should be placed in a
trench and the roots covered. If the
stems are sfriveled. vitality may be

ceived, they should be. placed where
they will thaw out gradually, and
should not be unpacked until the frost
is thoroughly out. In carrying the
plants to the planting ground, care
should be taken to have the roots COW
cred. Probably the best plan is to
carry the plants in a bucket OF water.
Set the plants a little deeper than
they were during their nursery growth,
but be careful not to plant too deep
ly. When grated stock is used the
point of union should be well under
the surface of the ground Trim the
ends OF roots of dormant plants and
spread the roots out in the hole. Shake
the plant up and down as the dirt is
filed in. When the roots are covered,

Pruning.
One pruning need which all types OF
roses have in common is for radical
shortening at planting time. From
one-half to two-thirds Of the wood
should be removed. After the first
year pruning for border and lawn
roses should consist in removing
dead or weak wood and crossing
branches. Cutting off the ends Of
branches should be avoided II is pref
cradle to take out whole branches
Every ave or SIX years the whole top
should be cut back. 1t is best to prline

SELLING CARSBY
SNOW SHOE,ROUTE

The early bird catches the worm
and likewise the early motor car sales
man the cream OF the contracts. But
in the case of the latter it is some
times necessary to do the scratching
on snow shoes.
Up in the northeast corner Of Utah
So miles north of Salt Lake City, is the
city of Logan, resting in the fertile
Cache valley. Not long ago l.. r.
Peart was given a Paige agency for
that locality and Mr.. Peart proceeded
to get busy. Unfortunately the severe
winter had the lovely Cache valley
covered with mantle OF snow re-
ported to. be ia feet thick.
OF hand one would say with such
condition prevailing there would be
absolutely no chance to sell motor
cars. In fact it seemed useless to try,
for it was impossible to get a car
through the drifts to visit the farmers
in the valley. The motor car dealers
figured 1t out that way and were con-
tent to sit around the stove in comfort
waiting for the weather to change so
that the territory could be opened for
them.
At least all of them did so except
Mr.. Peart. The Paige man. sizing up
the IA feet Of "beautifup covering the
valley, communed with himself.
In other words, Mr.. Peart concluded
the farmer was ripe for sale and that

Geological moment. As he couldn't
drive q car TO the farmer he fastened
on his snow shoes and started out.
In three weeks he had eleven signed
orders for Paige cars and cash de-
posits on all Of them.

all Of the old wood. and the desire to
have the arbors or trellises covered

should be pruned just after blooming.
Though IL would be best to remove all

be cut off at the ground and the rest
shortened from 3 to 6 feet. depending
on rapidity of growth. Marechal Mel
and other roses of the hybrid Noisette
group Of climbers should be trained
to one strong cane with the side
shoots cut back to about three eyes.
The remaining cane can be renewed
occasionally. The Cherokee should be
pruned like border roses. only weak
and crossing branches being removed.
Cut-fower roses must be pruned
severely il individual blossoms Of
greatest perfection are desired. When
the production of numerous small
blossoms Is the aim, the pruning Is
less severe. After the plants are es-
tablished, pruning should be practiced
in vigorous climates after freezing
weather is over. In milder regions fall
pruning may be practiced. Pruning
may be done, first, as for lawn roses,
and then the remaining branches
should be shortened to 4 or eyes. For
however, only one-half to one third
OF the shoots should be cut off.
Hedges should be severely pruned
for outline and compactness. This is
best done twice a year-in winter or
spring, and again after Towering time.
Little or no pruning is necessary for
roses used as ground covers.
Varieties.
The following varieties of roses for
the different uses Of ornamentation
are suggested in the bulletin already
mentioned:
For the lawn and border-Rugosa or
Wrinkled Japanese rose. Rosa lucida,
Carolina, Prairie. Arkansas, Sweet
Briar, Rosa egIanteria or Rose lutea,
dwarf Polyantha, Cabbage, and
| Damask roses.
For arbor and treIlis-Wichuraia
or Memorial, Multifora, Laevigata,
and Noisette groups.
For cut fiowers-Hybrid perpetuals.
teas, hybrid teas. Bengals, Bourbons,
| and Chinas- ..
For hedges-Rugosa, and the briar
roses.
For ground covers-Rosa lucida, for
covering to feet deep: Rosa nitida,
for 1S-inch cover; Wichuraiana, for
close, trailing cover.

New Jack For Autos.

A comparatively new device on the
market is jack that works on an en-
tirely different principle from the ordi-
nary type. The old familiar lever that
was either forgotten at the start OF
the trip or was left lying by the road
side after a tire change has been done
away with. The new jack is operated
by a smooth, endless cnain that oper-
ates a worm gear and easily and
quickly raises or lowersth car. To
lift the car. the motorist simply gives
a few pulls on the chain while stand
ing nearly upright and away from
springs, tire idons. and other projec-
tions. To lower the car, the mtorist
pulls the chain in the opposite direc-
ton and removes the jack by drawing
1t toward him.
