increase of one birth, % marriages and
two deaths over the records for 1919.
The following table will show the records
for the past FIVE years. but ii should be
borne in mind that the large number OF
marriages in 1916 was due TO the fact
that persons could come here to secure
their licenses and be married the same
day. which they could not do in the adj
joining states. whereas now the fve-day
law does away with this condition. The
same fact was true of the early part of
1917. The small number Of marriages in
1918 was attributed to SO many men being
in government service. and the large num-
her of deaths that year DOUBTLESS was due

Prune Rose Bushes
To Secure
FINEST BLOOMS
To Secure

THE rose has been q favorite
from earliest times. SO deep
a hold has II on the afYec-
tions Of thes people that 1t is often
spoken Of as the queen of flowers"
Cut-flower roses should have the
ground entirely to themselves.
They should not be set among
other plants nor have other plants
between them, not even pansies or
other low-growing herbs. They
need clean cultivation throughout
the season every year.
SECURE FINEST FLOWERS.
For the production of individual
blossoms Of greatest perfection, as
well as to secure a succession of
bloom. severe pruning of the rose
bush must be pracuced, say land
cape gardeners in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
When a large number Of blooms
of small size Is the aim. the prun-
ing is less severe.
When dormant bushes are set in
the fall one-half or more of the
wood should be removed. In the
spring cut back the branches still
more. leaving only two or three
The Washington times., 1921-05-04

stems with four or nve eyes on
each. The stems will then be SIX
inches or less in length. When
dormant roses are set in the spring
they should be pruned at the time
OF planting. leaving four or fvs
eyes on a stem. as above recon-
mended.
In regions where there IL no
danger of injury from frost or dry
winds, the fnal pruning. as de-
scribed for spring. may be made In
the fall.
After the frst year. prune as soon
as freezing weather IL ever. In
regions where roses never suffer
from cold the work may be done in
the fall Remove all weak wood
and crossing branches every year.
For fine specimen blooms>on hybrid
perpetuals shorten the remaining
shoots to four or fiye eyes. but for
the greatest mass of bloom only
one-third to one-half the length of
the shoots should be cut away.
PRUNE AFTER GROWTH STARTS.
In regions where cold sometimes
Injuries roses. teas and their hybrids
should be trimmed later than the
other classes. or about the time
growth starts. Trim in the same
manner as the hybrid perpetuals.
Because OF their usually more DEL
icate growth they will look much
smaller when the work 10 done,
however. The strongest growing
roses should not be cut as short as
the weaker ones. When over
pruned, the tendency OF the plants
is to grow wood rather than to
bloom. A few varieties will not
stand the extremely close pruning
described
When pruned for specimen blooms
the teas and hybrid teas will be
only 6 inches to 1 foot high. China,
Bengal. and moss roses should be
treated the same as the teas and
hybrid teas. except that 1t Is not
desirable to cut them quite SO close
ly. Bourbon roses should have only
half the length Of the shoots re-
moved. Summer pruning is desir-
able.
When a flower is cut from a tea
rose or other perpetual bloomer.
only two or three strong eyes of
the current seasons growth Of that
branch should be left on the plant.
This will give the roses very long
stems. 1t may seem like destroying
the bush to take so much off. but
II the object is the production OF
roses, the cutting away of the sur
plus wood will attain the desired
end.
The greatest temptation to leave
wood is where there are two or
more buds on one branch. some be-
ing small when the terminal one Is
open. This temptation to follow a
bad practice can be avoided by
pinching off all side shoots after q
bud has formed on the end of a
branch. This prevents the forma-
ton of two or more buds on ono
stalk, and will encourage additional
blooms on verities which bloom
more than once a year.
