Garden Notes.
A FINE Talisman rose, exhibited by
Wirln T. Simmons at the recent
Takoma horticultural Club Chrysan-
themum Show, had very interesting
history. At a. rose show in 1885, Mr..
Simmons observed Talisman flower
with fine healthy foliage. When the
show was over, Mr.. Simmons secured
the spent stem and used some of the
buds for propagation, With the re-
s'ilt that in 1897 he had q 1ne bGsa.
cspsoIe Of producing prize-minnins
flowers. The theory maintained. pv
certain rosarisns, namely. tnaL there
are vigorous strains within single
variety, is supported by Mr.. SIM
mons experience with the Talisman
rose because his new plant has the
same fine foliage borne by the paren-
tai shoot.
In the Far North, tender roses and
berries are protected by laying them
down on the soil and covering them
with earth. InI Siberia, even apple
trees are handled in this manner.
Fortunately. except in extremely Sc
we're winters, local growers are not
confronted with a difficult protec-
tion problem, but as pointed out a
week or so ago, a bank of soil drawn

have made substantial new growth.
There are two forms of yew present,
the low growing and the erect, treelike
type. The yew seems not to mind the
gas and smoke Of the city and does
not appear to have any insect or
fungous enemies of consequence.
There Ia some evidence to suggest
that 1T is safer not to prune fruit and
shade trees until about the 1st Of
March. In mild winters, there would
be little hazard but, in very cold
periods, serious injury may result. As
has heen pointed out by many writers,
broken limbs should be removed

possible to have a rather snowy

In setting posts for the garden

metal. Wood, with the exception of
red cedar, will disappear quickly from

the concrete is almost indispensable.
