to keep them within bounds. To do
this successfully, as stated above,
pruning must begin when plants are

FEEDING EVERGREENS
Feeding results in a definite i'm
provement in color of evergreenS.
Where the color of trees is poor, it
is probable there is lack of nour-
ishment in the soil In feeding
tests, all varieties that were fed
were more intensely colored, and the
coloring was more uniform. Col
orado blue spruce were especially
benefited, the trees that were fed
having developed an excellent blue
color.
For established evergreen trees
feed in April and again in July or
August.
This is the second OF three
articles discussing the selection
and care OF eUergreenS. The
third and final story will appear

larly stiff. Soggy OF unfrlendly beds
have been prepared to a depth OF
3 feet, but this is an unusual pre-
caution. Soil of this type requires
in addition a drain outlet away
from the main excavation so the
latter does not become pocket to
hold surrounding water.
After the outlines for each hole
have been marked. the best pro-
cedure is to throw the top foot of
soil to one side Gf the bed is in a
lawn area on something to protect
the grass the lower foot is thrown
to the other side. If underground
watering seems desirable, place two
lines of 3-inch farm tile on the
bottom, with elbows on both ends.
Two lines are sufficient for all beds
from 3 to 6 feet wide. At lesser
widths one line will do. The tiles
should be kept fairly level. An
ordinary carpenters level and line
will accomplish this. These. when
properly laid. should be covered to
depth of 2 inches to 3 inches
with coarse gravel or cinders, to
allow free passage of water.
If no tile is used rubble or cinders
should be returned to the bottom
Of the bed to the depth of 4 to 6
inches in order to insure good drain
age at all times. Approximately
one-half Of the bottom soil may
then be returned and a good coat
ing of well-rotted manure or COM
post 3 or inches deep also added,
spaded and mixed thoroughly. If
the gardener is lucky enough to
have supply of peat moss, an
inch or two OF this may be worked
into this lower layer in addition
to the above.
In sizing up planting re-
quirements for early spring arrange
to prepare the ground well for at
least two spade depths whether you
are putting in only a few new roses
in border, replanting an estab-
Hshed bed or making new bed.
You will be amply repaid by the
following seasons results. Under
ideal conditions over half of the
rose roots go down far below the
top soil. This means that when
there they are less affected by the
vagaries Of the summer temperature
or rainfall.

Form Rose Garden Now
Use Ground Plan for Marking Out
Patterns of Future Paintings

The arrival Of the spectacular and
colorful new spring catalogues Of
the great rose growers, reminds us
that it's not too early to begin for
next summers gardens.
This is the time Of year when it
will profit home gardeners to spend
an evening with the catalogues ana
ground plan on which exact pat
terms for later paintings may be
marked out. It's also the time
when early orders to growers will
assure spring delivery Of the most
desirable varieties, for with all the
talk of victory gardens and the in
creased growing of food plants goes
advice, both official and unofficial,
not to neglect flower paintings al
ready made and the development
of new gardens for color. recreation
and morale. The Governments S
civic and civilian defense officials
all agree that there is neither reason
nor necessity for the destruction or
deterioration of flower gardens dur
ing this war year.
No matter how hard man works
there will still be time for the quiet
relaxation and pleasure which
beautiful home garden will bring.
When the frost goes out Of the
ground gardeners should be ready
with plans for the planting OF the
new and beautiful roses for 1912.
There are some spectacular new
comers waiting for planting.
One expert calls attention to Pan
America" a striking orange rose,
first introduced at the Festival OF
Roses in Newark, N. Y, last summer.
King Midas" a magnificent, hardy.
yellow climbing rose, is already at
tracing notice. 1t Is one OF the
longest blooming climbers and pro-
duces an unusually large flower
comparable to the hybrid tea. Spun
Gold" is a lovely hybrid tea OF
golden hue that has given salts
faction wherever it has been tested.
In some parts of the country the
frost is already leaving the ground
and even in Northern latitudes 1t
will soon be time to put into prac-
tice simple and effective principles
for successful rose culture. Rose
growers are urged not to neglect
full and complete preparation OF the
ground before putting in any plants.
The preparation Of the ground
for the bed is one Of the most i'm
portant steps in the future lie
of the rose. Plan now to put In
YOUR plants in a well-drained spot
in well-aerated soil. If they are
given modern care at the time OF
planting, roses will never develop
summer ills. A rosebush under
proper growing conditions can build
up its own immunity to its natural
enemies Just as healthy child
builds up resistance against ills.
It follows that the healthy modern
rose, planted under the best possible
conditions, is far less susceptible TO
disease than the anemic bush. A
little extra effort with a spade at
planting time is good health insur-
ance for the rosebush. In circum-
ference the hole should be big
enough so that the roots will have
plenty of room and 60 in without
crowding so they have as wide a
feeding area as possible.
The best results in the actual
preparation of the complete rose
bed are obtained by stirring up at
least "a inches of soil for each bush.
In cases where the soil Is particu-
