Essential Steps
In Rose Culture

With roses we'll under way, the
job Of caring for them is relatively
simple. Light cultivation will de-
stroy weeds and prevent caking of
the surface soil, but the word
light should be emphasized
Roses produce a network of small,
hair-like roots close to the surface
and they are easily damaged by
overly ambitious cultivation.
Another important job which
serves the double purpose of keep
ing weeds at a minimum and con-
ditioning the soil is mulch:ng. A
layer of peat moss, compost, we'll
rotted manure, buckwheaC hulls,
ground corncobS or other available
material will help to retain moist
ure and to keep the soil cool.
The time for mulching is two or
three weeks prior to the blooming
period and later applications
should be made to keep the beds
in good condition. Remove the
weeds and loosen the surface soil.
Then spread the mulch about
inches deep.
Water is probably the most i'm
.portant single element for a
strong. vigorous rose. A plentiful
supply of water in dry weather is
important, not only to keep UP
the blooming rate. size of flowers
and resistance to disease. but also
to help the plants store energy
for the winter months.
One of the easiest ways to water
is TO let the hose trickle slowly
over a board placed in the bed
This gives a more even soaking
and will avoid washing the dirt
away from around the plants. Ir
watering, gardeners should re-
member to avoid wetting the
foliage as this practice encourages
the spread of fungus diseases.
The damage due to fungus dis
eases and insect pests may be kept
to a minimum by regular treat
ment. Dusting and spraying ever!
10 days and after every rain i
recommended.

The fall flower, fruit and vege-
table shows are coming fast and
many exhibitors will be making
their first entries. Some will do
so only because neighbors recog-
nize the quality of their garden
products and insist they be shown.
Others, out of curiosity, will want
to see how we'll they fare and take
their products to the show for
comparison. Regardless of the
reason, there are several things
which should be observed if the
entry is to make a creditable show
ing.
1t is disappointing to cut a
flower or rose and have it wilt
before judges have had an oppor-
tunity to rate it. Flowers for a
show or for home use, for that
matter, should be cut the evening
before, placed in cold water in a
cool place and allowed to harden"
overnight. When treated in this
manner, almost every kind will
hold up and appear to best ad-
vantage for two or three days.
Flowers to be displayed in ar
rangements need this preliminary
treatment just as specimen blooms.
The exception to this rule, and
it is only partial exception, is
for the large f1owered dahlia. They
should have their stems dipped
in boiling water for two or three
minutes Immediately after cutting.
Following the hot water treat
ment, which seals the pores in the
stems, they should be placed in
deep containers filed with cold
water so that the hardening can
take place.
Inspect Each Bloom.
Before cutting a blossom, it
should be inspected to make Ger
tain that it is free from signs of
diseases, from insect injury and
has not begun to show signs Of
fading, petals turning brown, etc.
or lacking in richness of appear
ance that a freshly cut flower
should have.
The judges always look for such
signs and blemishes. They will
examine the back of a dahlia and
if some of the petals have turned
brown and curled the flower will
be penalized accordingly. Imma-
ture blooms, likewise are less de-
sirable at show, although, other
things being equal, an immature
bloom will win over one that is
overmature.
Flowers that have been dis
budded should not have prominent
stubs showing. Normally, when
diSbudded at the proper stage.
there is no stub, but since dis
budding may be done at any time,
the point is that their removal
should be cleanly and neatly done.
Note Length of Stems.
The length of the stem is i'm
portant in most classes of flowers,
but this does not justify cutting
down whole plant OF branch in
order to get extra length of stem.
Roses in particular should not
have the entire new shoot plus
several inches of earlier growth.
Take all of the shoot that pro-
duced the flower if necessary to
get good length of stem.
Avoid injury to the foliage and
the bloom from the moment it is
cut until it is in place at the show.

grass seed sowing time.
Now that the nights are turning
cool it is time to start the house
plants on their way indoors. The
move should be made by steps,
If feasible. First to the porch or
sunny basement and then to the
winter home. Straggly plants
should be trimmed to promote
compact. bushy growth. A feed
ing will be needed to stimulate
growth and, of course, the pots
should be cleaned before taking
indoors. Because the first few
days indoors are apt to be critical,
it is essential that the foliage be
given a daily Swinging.
AS soon as the soil Is moist
enough. the lily of the valley bed
may be reworked. That chore
should be done every four or five
years if the finest quality bloom is
to be obtained. If digging the
"pips" is impracticable. the bed
should be top-dreSsed with a mix
Iture of dried COW manure, COM
post and a quart or two of 5-10-5
fertilizer q quarts per 100 square
Ifeet).
Digging the pips and reworking
the soil, adding liberal quantities
Iof compost and rotted COW ma
Inure, if available, is desirable
because crowded plants cannot
give the best bloom. The lily of
the valley is a gross feeder and
needs ample plant food as well
as a cool soil in which to grow.
Fall is the preferred planting
time for the early spring flower
ing trees although the magnolia
and dogwood are less likely to
suffer a setback If moved in the
spring. Moving time for these
IGeciduous plants is after the first
frost, when they are dormant and
I in that condition they may be
moved, bare-rooted. as long as the
roots are not exposed to drying
winds.
Fall IS also the preferred tim'
to set out trollius, phlox. bleeding

Flower Show Exhibits
Some Suggestions for the BeginnerWhoMoy
Profit When He Enters His First Competition
By W. H. Younqmon


If the foliage is tender and easily
bruised, wrap the stem and foliage
in soft paper as a protection. The
same may be said for the bloom
a little hood of cotton may be
needed for the more fragile blooms
Examine the show schedule be-
fore the cutting begins so that the
proper number of flowers may be
cut for the classes to be entered
If the schedule calls for three
blooms in a class, then cut three
or fourS but discard the poorest
one or a judge is likely to dis
qualify the exhibit because OF
too many blooms.
If the schedule calls for 9
spray with flowers and buds, but
with as few over-mature blossoms
as possible. 1t is good Snowman
ship to remove over-mature
blooms if their removal is not toe
obvious.
Appearance in Vegetables.
In entering vegetables and fruits
note especially carefully the num-
ber of specimens to be put on a
plate. Select uniform specimens
even though it may mean leaving
out some of the "whoppers. .
are usually examined
for quality and over-ripe speci-
mems should be kept at home. An
eggplant that has lost It's bloom
is seldom given ribbon because
dullness of color is sign of over
ripeneSs. Sweetcorn that is past
the dough stage is not fit to eat or
show.
Select specimens with as few
blemiSheS as possible. Avoid en-
tering tomatoes that have green
caps around the stems and growth
cracks. Smooth fruits, well col
ored and free from blemiShes make
the best entry. Always wipe or
wash the dirt and dust from an
entry. Dirty potatoes, squash,
tomatoes, peppers, etc, are not
pleasing to the judge or the
visitor.
In many shows entries should
be carefully labeled as to variety
and the rules usually provide for
a penalty where the name is miss
ing, or the entry is incorrectly
labeled. In such shows the judges
are responsible for checking this
point. 1t may seem trivial. but
many clubs want the exhibits to
have maximum educational value
and correctly and plainly labeled
entries do help in this respect
Make Best Appearance.
In placing the entry on the
exhibition table be sure that il
makes it's best appearance. A
flower that does not look the
judge in the eye may be over
looked for one that is better
placed. If the vase is too large
and lets the bloom hang over
take some green tissue paper and
prop it up by wrapping the stem
The proper stage for exhibition
varies for each kind of flower
for roses it is when the bloom
is from one-half to three-fourthS
open. A dahlia should have most
of the center petals unfolded
Many f1orets of a glad should be
showing color, while the lowest
floret should show no signs OF
overmaturity. Chrysanthemums
asters and many other kinds OF
flowers should be fully opened
but with the outer petals still
in good condition.
The above suggestions are made
for the beginner. This year be-
cause of the drought and the con.
tinuing cool weather, it is quite
likely that top quality specimen!
will be few in number. Therefore
it is. suggested that gardener
need not fear to display product:
lacking in size, that is If they
are in good condition otherwise
