Roses were never so fragrant as now
We may have in our gardens all of the
rose fragrance that has ever been in
the world. This is being increased
every year by new varieties possessing
new combinations of scent Every one
expects scent in rose. This fragrance
or perfume is from volatile oils given
off by tiny cells located mainly on the
upper surface Of the rose petals 1t is

Roses, seemingly, started with three
distinct fragrances-the damask, GEN.
tifolia and tea. Some of the varieties
which possess the damask scent or as
some one has termed it, "the con-
tralto fragrance" are Etoile de Hol-
land, the Radiances, Countess Of Strad-
broke, Gen Macarthur and a host of
others. Two Of the varieties having the
true centifolia fragrance are Mrs. War

Moore wrote in memory:
Long, long be my heart with such
memories filled,
Like the vase in which roses had once
been distilled
You may break, you may shatter the
vase If you will,
But the scent of the roses will hang
around it still.
THE first rose gardeners. were In
China, where the art of grating
began about the 9th century Here We
find roses colored in porcelains. The
Chinese began to record colors about
1000 AID. This flower is also found
colored in Roman mosaic and on the
walls of the early catacombs and in
early Christian art. The Gallica roses
Of Greece and Rome were red or white.
About that time the white rose became
the symbol Of martyrdom and divine
love and garlands of red roses asso-

HERE never was a flower to which
the hybridizers of the world nave
given so many different shades of
color. There are some 10000 differ
ent rose varieties, each of which has
It's own recognizable color and shade.
Inc TACT that rose hybridizers are en-
gagged in the development of roses
possessing resistance to color fading
indicates the extent to which the art
OF rose breeding has progressed.
Roses never were so steadfast
adaptable or as widespread as now
In North America wild sorts are found
from Mexico to Alaska. Workers have
started to develop improved roses nos
sessing finer color, greater beauty and
greater adaptability to the growing
conditions of some of the different
rose-eroWlng zones. Good examples
OF success in accomplishing this are
the new roses of Denmark, those IN
Australia, which has no native will
roses. and the Horvath improved
prairie rose hybrids in this country.
In Denmark plant breeders by the
name of Poulsens became convinced
that cold Denmark could have better
roses. During the past 10 years they
have produced splendid new rose
strains which grow vigorously and
bloom profusely in the cold wet soil of
Denmark. These hybrid -polyanthas
have the form, petalage and color Of
the hybrid teas and the vigorous
growth, adaptability and all-summer
clustering bloom of the polyanthas.
The Danes are now busily engaged in
developing rose strains having differ
ent bush heights and color of foliage
with which to supply background
planting for lower-growing shrubs.

elaborate. but the most reliable
can be generally summarized. All
flowers should be cut in the early
morning or after sunset, for hot sun
shine closes the pores of their stems to
such an extent that they cannot readily
absorb water They should be then
placed in deep containers of cool water
in dark room for at least half an
hour. If they are to be transported
they should be covered with wet paper.
They will remain in the bud If
wrapped in wet paper and placed
on ice.
1t is mainly through the stems
that flowers obtain water Cutting
them on the slant or splitting the
ends provides larger water-drawing
area. Immersing the ends in hot
water will distend the pores and, there
fore, flowers that wilt quickly, such
as hydrangeas, should be set in hot
water before being arranged. Also,
if the flowers are willing, hot water
will revive them. The lower parts
should be cut away if clogged by a
film OF bacterial growth. Gardenias
can be preserved only by being kept
damp and cold, for they do not absorb
water through their stems.
AS. the atmospheric pressure causes
air to fill the open tubes Of the stems
forming a cushion an inch or two
up the stalk, these tubes should
be kept free of air. This may be
done by cutting the stems under
water, thus preventing the air from
reaching them, or burning the ends,
thus forming porous carbon. Pop

Valuable Source
Of Potash.

Unleached wood ashes are valuable
source of potash for peonies and
dahlias. They are safer to use for the
home gardener than are the chemical
salts-muriate of potash and sulphate
of potash. Scatter over the surface
and rake in
Wood ashes are high in lime and so
should be mixed with some acidifying
material, such as peat moss when used
around azaleas and other acid-loving
plants.
Wood ashes may be applied at any
time that the ground is not frozen
for the potash does not leach out of
the soil. Hardwood ashes contain
more potash than do the softwood
ashes.
Use 10 pounds of wood ashes per
100 square feet of bed or 2 pounds
of potash salts.

Arrangement
OF Flowers
Is an Art
New Book Clearly
Defines Methods
Of Designing.
BY HELEN VOGT.

GONE forever, fortunately, are the
days when this business of flower
arrangement was matter of putting
them in water" Like everything else,
the designing of attractive flower ar
rangements has become an art-an-
other testimonial that this is an age of
specialization
Dorothy Biddle, editor of the Gar
den Digest, and Dorothea Blom are
people who realize this situation, and
for this reason their new book, "Crea-
tive Flower Arrangement" is a real
boon to those of us who delight in
making flower ornamentation an in
tegral part of interior decoration.
They have successfully covered the
subject clearly and logically. including
advice on home and flower show deco
rating. They stress simplicity in ar
rangement as a vital part of this art,
and point out that correct compost
ton is essential.
Perhaps most important is their
summary of the points which must be
considered in flower design-namely
Balance-being sure your finished
product is not top heavy and un-
calmly; silhouette-the combination Of
solids and voids that make up the de-
sign; line-the curve of stalks, stems
and branches, and consideration as to
whether your idea is based on a circle,
triangle. crescent, ETC.; rhythm-as in
music, the carrying over from one part
to another; and background flowers
and foliage-those helpful things that
conceal defects
The authors consider this business
Of design a real American art-one
which is making rapid strides forward.
In their guidebook. published by Dou-
bleday, Doran g. Co., Inc. they have
clearly and accurately stressed the
points to be watched, and believe that
this new technique is a means of ex-
preston and freedom, away from the
limitations that have so long controlled
flower arrangement.

only when left alone. 1t is very diff

Care of Cut Flowers

flowers should have the ends Of their
stems burnt to prevent the air from
entirely filling them.
The water in which the flowers
stand should be always fresh. One
and half inches is sufficient, addi-
tional depth being unnecessary. except
for the better appearance of certain
vases. There are several stimulants,
such as hydrochloric acid, peppermint
extract, alcohol and salt, which are
often used with success in preserving
flowers beyond their normal span of
few days. Aspirin is now recognized
as Intellectual for this purpose. Peonies,
chrysanthemums and lilies are bene-
fitted if held upside down for a few
minutes with water flowing over the
blooms
