A new class or type Of roses
was accepted by the American
Rose Society last summer
Grandiflora. It is interme-
diate between the fioribunda and
the hybrid tea. The bushes
generally are a bit taller grow
ing than the fioribunda but re-
tain some of their hardness and
disease resistance. There are
fewer buds in the clusters which
makes them more like the hybrid
teat roses. Varieties falling
within this new class are: Queen
Elizabeth, Buccaneer. Carrousel,
Roundelay, Sugar Plum, etc.
While they have not been widely
tested in this area they seem to
offer much that is worthwhile.

1881. The bulbs do not have .
full opportunity to mature for
the next year because the grass
soon gets long and uneven. Some
members promptly call the at
tention of the gardener to his
neglect and when he finally
weakens from the obvious ragged
condition Of the lawn and mows
the area, other members care
fully explain that he has done
1t too soon.
Trying to straddle this situa-
tion with minimum lawn growth
postpones fertilizing until the
first moving which is too late
to help the bulbs.
This year 1t is planned to use
low nitrogen fertilizer by the
first of March thus helping the
bulbs but giving the minimum
of encouragement to the grasses.
Then, after the first moving, q
high nitrogen fertilizer such as
1864 will be used to boost the
grass along.
Towering Shrubs

finished, the Towering shrubs
start their show. Forsythia,

The named varieties Of azaleas

the blooming season. The two
latest bloomers are J. T. Lovett.

and Copperman, a late Glenn
Dale hybrid. With the excep-
ton Of these named azaleas
which were added to lengthen
the season Of bloom, this gar
den has been planted to old
fashioned stand7bys that seem
in keeping with the building
they surround.

than those of the average home

Potted Bulbs

The bulbs that were potted
last fall for forcing should be
brought indoors as quickly as
possible so that they will bloom
before winter is past. It takes
several weeks for them to bloom
after coming indoors. First,
place them in a dark place until
the leaves begin to push through
the soil. Then into sunlight,
keeping the temperature as low
as possible and watering freely.
When the buds appear they
should be syringed almost daily
to keep them from drying.

Look Ahead for Mulch

Now is a good time to round up
materials for mulching next

lot of things for q garden besides
conserving moisture. When up
piled over a soil that has been
lightly cultivated they keep the
surface open so that moisture
penetrates readily. as well as the
air. Both are exceedingly inn
portant to plant growth. A sur
face mulch helps to maintain
the humus content Of the soil
better than when the same
amount of material Is mixed into
the soil. Further, a mulch keeps
the soil cooler and thus helps
to keep the roots functioning.
