Of these may seem too vigorous for
the small garden, but they can be
trimmed to any size desired. In
fact they should be cut back severely
each spring to improve the quality
Of their flowers. Otherwise they
become barelegged and sprawl over
far too much ground. There are
several other rugosa hybrids that
have given satisfactory results In
local gardens, such as Conrad Fer
dinand Meyer, p. ]. Grootendcrst,
pink Grootendorst, etc.
The polyanthas and their larger
howered relatives, the fioribundas,
do not all come within the scope
Of this title. but many of them are
relatively free from insects and
diseases. Which, Of course, is an
other way Of saying that they need
less care than the average hybrid
tea. However, few, II any, Of them

as those mentioned above win do

are seldom troubled by bIackspot
and mildew, although they are oc.
casionally chewed on by insects
Because of their resistance to dis
ease, however, they can be depended
upon to grow without much care
In fact, if they are pruned once q
year so as to keep them within
bounds, they will do very well. Most
Of these climbers flower only once
in the season. OF the everbloomins

The disease resistant rambler
Chevy Chase, is not a repeater but
it does have an unusually long
Towering season. It is the only
rambler worth attempting to grow
in this area since mildew destroys
the foliage and flowers of the other
varieties unless carefully protected
by sprays.
1t would seem from this list that
there are number of worth while
roses for use in the shrub border
roses that thrive with little care.
While most Of them do not COM
pare with the florists roses. they are
fully as useful as the spirea, for
sythia, and deutzia in the shrub

Prune Lilac
This Week
By &c, Mclean

Many lilacs become leggy from
lack Of prunlns, and now that they
have finished towering they can b
cut back to good advantage. II any
Of the flowers are cut for use In
doors, the pruning can be done when
they are removed, OF course, pro-
vided they are cut wen below the
flower spikes.
But most gardeners seem to prefer
to let the flowers mature on tbs
bush, pruning 1t back severely as
soon as. the bloom has faded. II
these shrubs are pruned promptly
there win Be time for them to make
good crop of bloom buds on the
wood that grows this summer. II
pruning Is delayed too long after the
lilacs have finished blooming. 1t IL
doubtful that they win be able to
produce blossom buds amounting to
anything.
The gardeners own judgment IL
his best guide in determining how
much wood to remove In this prun-
ing process. Cut back tall lilacs
rather severely and thin out the
young sucker growth around the
base. This is particularly necessary
with old-fashioned common lilac
(syringa vulgaris) which suckers un-
usually freely The suckers act as
weeds. drawing on the nourishment
Of the parent plant and lessening
its chance of making a satisfactory
array of buds for the following years
bloom. There is a tendency, too.
for suckers to become diseased. Hy-
brid llacs and most of the species
do not sucker to such a degree as
common lilac.
The same general principles of
pruning apply to forsythia, which
can be cut now, and to other flower
ing shrubs which bloom during the
latter part Of April or in May.
As for the actual pruning opera.
ton, 1t consists of removing soms
| of the oldest canes close to the base
| OF the plant, opening up the top and
thus encouraging new growth from
the base. Shearing or cutting back
the plant at the top only serves to
increase the density Of the top
growth and to discourage the growth
OF needed new shoots ut the base.

that cannot well be passed. South
bid two clubs, although his holding
warranted a jump raise, but he pre-
ferred to 60 slowly. North bid two
hearts, South three no trump, North
four sapdes. South five spades and
North six spades. BY taking a heart
finesse, North made SIX odd. losing
only the ace Of spades.
In both of the other cases where
the hand was played the bidding
started the same way, but was al
lowed to rest at South's three no
trump. West led the eight of dia-
monds, East played the queen, which
held the trick, and the three was re-
turned. South refused to take it and
played the jack. West won with the
king and laid down another dia-
mond. South was then obliged to
win the trick and proceeded to knock
out the ace Of spades. West had Ii
and took the trick following it with
the remaining good diamonds
which set the contract three tricks.
Had South taken the first diamond
trick and then led q small spade to
dispose Of the ace while still hold
ing another stopper in diamonds, In
case West had the spade ace, he
could easily have made five odd and
probably six. West. noting the miss
ing king of hearts In dummy, and
also that South had not supported
that suit, would most likely have led
heart hoping to get her partner in
again to lead through declarer's jack
Of diamonds. and the effort would
have failed. South figured. however,
that East would have the spade ace
and wanted to exhaust his diamonds
before he forced him to play it. BY
guessing wrong. South was set three
tricks. His only satisfaction was
that South on the third team played
the hand the same way and lost.

Here is something that players
should remember, for the error hap
pens frequently. The book of rules
says: If dummy voluntarily in
forms declarer which of his two
hands has won the lead, or warns
him not to lead out of the wrong
hand, the defender on dummy's left
may choose the hand from which
declarer shall lead" The rule should
be enforced rigidly, as it often in

many others are of more than pass
ing interest. They are roses that
can take 1t. Most of them grow and
thrive on neglect.
Not long ago we were looking over
the shrub border and came upon q
specimen of r. primula commonly
known as r. ecae). It seemed 30
foolish to hide such a snowy, attrac-
tive specimen in the center of a
shrub border. The same reaction
would probably be voiced by many
another gardener were he to see
some Of these "other roses" In full
bloom. It would seem that there Is
another point to growing them. In
these days, when it is so hard to
keep the garden in shape, that is,
pruned, cultivated and protected
from insects and diseases, these
other roses seem to more than
justify Qur interest, for they de-
mand very little Of the gardener, no
more than a spirea or forsythia.
Rosa hugonis golden rose Of

attention than most Of the other
roses. It has been widely adver-
tised. Hugonis seems to be immune
to most Of the insects and diseases
that trouble the hybrid teas. II

zanthina makes an 8 to 10 foot
shrub.
Rose primula tecao blooms q
wee bit later than hugonis and
zanthina, but is more upright
grower. The thorns and thin wiry
stems are reddish. In the winter
they give color to the border. The
flowers are yellowish white. The
shrub grows to 6 feet high.
The little pink Scotch rose is
another dainty single-flowered rose
that can be lifted into the fore
ground of the shrub border as 1t
is less than 2 feet in height, but
may be I feet across. There are
several members of the Scotch rose
(R. spinoSisS) which includes pink,
white, yellow, and red varieties as
we'll as single and double -fiowered
forms.
The hybrid-Scotch rose, Harri-
sons yellow. is another Of the early
Towering yellow roses that are COM
paratively free from insects and
diseases. However, it does have the
Scotch" habit Of spreading by un-
derground shoots and thus in a
short time will spread out to make
a large clump. The double yellow
roses are borne all along the stems
and they make splendid showing
in the early spring, just as the
hybrid teas are bursting into flower
The hybrid rugosas have been
mentioned in this page before as
being hardy, dependable species.
Their thick 'rugose" foliage seems
to be immune to most of the diseases
and insect pests common to the
hybrid teas. Not all of the rugosa
varieties will appeal to each gar
dener. However, the pink ever
