 The climbing form Of Mile. Cecile Brunner, a rambler rose, is very pleas ing, because of the wealth of pink white flowers produced most of the season. The plant is hardy. Dorothy Perkins isalso hardy and vigorous and bears derse clusters of shell pink flowers which last well. This is splendid for training over arches. Other rambler roses grown especially in the northern part of Arizona are Crimson Rambler and Tausendscnon. These are hardy. though subject to mildew, even in our dry climate. The ramblers bear flowers in clusters; the Crimson Rambler has crimson red flowers and TausenGschon pink or whitish flowers.
 There are still other climbing roses that bloom only in the spring. These include the Banksias. Cherokee roses and the well known Gold of Ophir. The Banksias are all climbers with dense foliage. The flowers are small, double white or yellow and borne in

Plants on the university grounds 20 years old are still thrifty. Climbing Papa Gontier is the strongest grower and most desirable of the deep red tea roses. It should be budded and grows well on a western exposure, but the blossoms are injured with high tenn peratures.
 The climbing hybrid tea roses are represented by climbing Kaiserin Au- gusta Victoria, Caroline Testout and climbing Wooton. The Kaiserin is the most sunerb of the white climbing roses, though not as hardy as La marque. The flowers are identical with those of the bush plant. Climb ing Caroline Testout has large, globu- lar, very double, clear pink flowers. It is not a heavy bloomer nor as strong a grower as the climbing Wooton which bears a profusion of half double bright magenta flowers

UNIVERSITY EXPERT DETAILS
 CHARACTER IF PLANTS FITTED
 FUR CULTIVATION IN THIS STATE

Perpetual or everblooming roses are better adapted to our wide range of growing conditions than any other class of cut flowers we have. Their long blooming season and splendid flowers make them very popular. EX- cept at the higher attitudes, the canes of even tea roses are not in jured with winter temperatures. With proper culture, roses suffer little in jury from extreme heat and ardity, though in the hotter valleys their growth is checked during June and July. At this season they may be given a short resting period by partly withholding irrigation and cultivation, though they should never be allowed to suffer for want of water. Roses flower in Arizona during the spring and early summer and again in au tumn, often as late as November and December In planting roses, onv should set at least two plants of a kind to insure enough flowers at one time for a bouquet. Interest in roses is greately increased by keeping a list of varieties planted and studying these as they bloom The flowers should be cut as the buds begin to open, preferably in the early morn ing.
 Perpetual everblooming roses: These 
 climbers, and occasionally as orna- mental shrubs. They have been elassi- fled into several groups, according tu their origin and characters. Rose specialists, however. are not always agreed as to which group a rose be- longs, since these are closely re- lated through long continued hybridi Zation. The more important of these classes or groups of roses are tea roses, hybrid teas. hybrid perpetuals. dwarf ramblers. Noisettes, and China of Bengal roses.
 Tea roses have ascending canes with rather stout prickles and smooth, slightly glossy leaves. The flowers are rounded and usually slow to come into full bloom; they are medium sized and teascented, often with large thick petals. Commonly the bases of the petals are yellowish tinted and the pink or rose color is not solid. The prevailing colors for tea roses are light yellow or copper -colored to nearly white, pink, or rose. They are nearly constant bloOmers. but are rather tender for attitudes above $500

clusters. The canes are slender, with out pricllles and with small leaves. The CherokeeS are similar to the Banksia roses. Their flowers are also borne in clusters and are small, single or double, and white, pink or red. The foliage is glossy and evergreen and the canes are slender and smooth. Cherokees are hardy and thrive with ordinary conditions. They are fine for hedges, arbors. fences and growing over banks. Gold of Opnir is splendid. hardy, climbing or holf- climbing Noisette rose. It bears mas ses of yellow flowers tinged with coppery red and requires little care for good growth. None of these roses should be pruned severely and all are hardy at temperatures of de- grees F.
 Soil requirements: Roses delight generally in heavy loam or clay loam soils with good drainage and aeration. Clay soils are mostely too heavy for their best growth. while sandy soils

Thing or Two About the Big
Midsummer Sales Which Are

Like many other of the breezy big
things Of their kind, Dollar Days had
their inception out in the Central
States-the Prairie States-tho' New
York company has laid claim to the
honor Of the first idea.
Ie was Iowa and Illinois and Indian
apolis, Indiana, and such other centers
that put the first big things of approval
on the big commercial event. After the
first big year or two in the large cities,
the sale settled into a fxity in the in
dividual stores and is asmonthly feature
in many Of the popular department
houses.
In New England Brockton and Fall
River. Mass, Manchester, n. H, Port
land and Lewiston and the four Kenne-
bee county cities have been leaders each
year in making marked success of the
event. At Lewiston, especially. for the
past two years Dollar Day has been
about the biggest business event of the
year Last month it was held for one
day only and tremendous crowd from
Androscoggin and adjacent counties
gave the Twin Cities the day of their
life.
When the sales first came into Maine
they were opened with genuine old
time carnival parades and decorations.
This was the right spirit for the occa-
sion and drew the crowd, but each sue
ceeding year the tendency has been more
and more to put the money into the
goods and talk value more than bar
gains.
This year Brockton. Mass. has just
closed a successful Prosperity" sale
week on the same plan as Dollar Day.
It was inspired by the Presidents ap-
peal to business men to keep things
moving and the leaders in the city's
trade took hold with courage and hearth
ness and made it mutual good thing
for buyer and seller.
