Dear Sir:
Something ought to be said these
days in praise Of two old favorites, two
wonderful roses that do well for every
body.
These are the DR.. Van Fleet, the
pink-white one, and Paul's Scarlet, the
brilliant one seen everywhere.
Il have had many climbing roses, in
my 80 years in the garden, but there
are no others which have given me the
same satisfaction.
1T must be the same with Others be-
cause you see these roses everywhere,
on fire engine house walls, In parks,
climbing on fences and up the sides
Of homes.
TT must be a great satisfaction to
growers, to see their handiwork. year
after year, satisfying millions OF peo-
pie. although every year-at least until
the past two-sees the introduction Of
scores of new roses.
This year, despite the rains, both
Of these fine climbers have been better
than usual
Il have been very much pleased with
the Van Fleet. 1t seems to me that
the coloring is more delicate, but deeper,
than ever before.
Can you tell me why this should be
so?
very truly, ]. H. B."
More cloudy days have brought about
the beautiful coloring Of this years crop
Of the blooms Of the DR.. Van Fleet rose.
Some years this fine climber, which
will always be intimately connected with
the Department Of Agriculture, lacks
the pink tints.
Then 1t is merely white, or rather off,
white; but this season it contains the
flesh tints for which 1t is famous.
Truly, there Is no more satisfactory
climber than this.
The only fault to be found with 1t is
that 1t grows too we'll!
What blessing this would be, in
home gardening, If this same fault"
could be found more. Mostly things do
not grow as they should.
Lack OF fertility of the soil, combined
with bad growing conditions, either too
much rain, or not enough, often cause
failure to bloom
The old Flower Grower Magazine con-
tanned letters from readers, and eight
out Of ten letters were from those who
wanted to know why such and such a
plant did not bloom.
X X
1t is amazingly helpful therefore, to
find plants which really grow, and which
grow all the time, in dry or wet weather
despite insects, fungi and other dis
orders.
The Van Fleet climber and Paul's
justly famous Scarlet" are two roses
which do we'll for everybody.
We are glad to see that gardeners
are not forgetting these old friends, even
while they turn to growing vegeta bles.

Single Tax Discussed
As Ineffective Reform.
To the Editor Of The Star:

1t was Emerson, think. who said: :
Great causes are never tried upon their
merit. but divided into particulars and
discussion, the hottest over some detail
of little or no Importance"
Although your correspondent, D. A.,
one day may emerge from the group
the single-taxers are conspicuous illus
tration Of Emerson's suggestion.
Quoting another philosopher: "How-
ever it may be with any individual the
sense Of justice is, with the masses Of
men, keener and truer than intellectual
perception, and unless question can
assume the form of right and wrong, it
cannot provoke general discussion or
excite the many to action"
The only cure for chronic ills is a
radical remedy and the first step to-
ward the Utopian vision of the single
takers is a radical readjustment that
will put economic Righteousness, per-
ceptible to vast majority of U.s. into
the legislation that sustains the in
iquity Of civilization.
A guinea pig isn't a pig, hay fever
isn't fever and the single tax isn't q
tax. If, in application, 1t persistently
were called q tax, 1t couldn't be single
tax because the cost of administration
Is all out Of proportion to its value.
If one finds dollar, he is that much
richer because some one through mis-
fortune is that much poorer, and the
law designates the finder as thief, If
he retains it when the owner is known.
Likewise, If one acquires dollar, or
q million dollars, without corresponding
production or service, he Is that much
richer because others, somewhere and
somehow, have been victimized and are
that much poorer. And we have q
million men too poor because a few are
too rich.
There is . group in this country that
acquires something like $4,000 million
dollars every year for which they do
nothing to make mankind richer, wiser,
better or happier. Legislation gives
them the legal right to participate in
this moral wrong and confers 4 respect-
ability upon them that society does not
accord gangsters and racketeers who
also acquire wealth they do not earn
and thereby infiict . corresponding loss
upon others. J. B. CHAMBERLAIN.
