until mid-June, when fertilizer should be spread about the plants and worked into the soil. The mulch can then be applied. Peatmoss is attractive looking on the beds and will retain moisture. But, when once dry, it becomes resistant to anything except a long continued rain or heavy watering.
 Application of fertilizer is diff icult through a mulch of any ma terial; the mulch has to be scraped away from each plant and replaced after it has been in- corporated.
 Weekly feeding of roses is nec- essary during the period of bud ding and blooming, and should be continued until the roses show signs of decreasing activities. J. Horace Mcfarland, President Emer- itus, American Rose Society, and author of How to Grow Roses, says that this is a normal condi- tion and will last but few weeks. When the plants show signs of com- ing into bloom again, continue the application of fertilizer Cor liquid manure) until the first of Septem- Der. Feeding after that time is apt to encourage soft growth which is quickly damaged or destroyed by early frosts. It is better to use large quantity of weak fertilizer than small quantity of strong one.
 Roses need much water during the blooming season. They will withstand considerable drought, but only at the expense of blooms. Roses benefit by being thoroughly soaked with water every week, mere sprink- ling with the hose is unwise; water ing must be so thorough that the moisture penetrates to the roots.
 Roses are subject to diseases and insects from early spring to late autumn, so have your duster and sprayer ready at all times. Black spot and mildew, the most serious diseases, are likely to occur at any time. They cannot be cured but san be prevented by keeping the plants dusted with Massey or similar dust
