L. $ ' THE rose has p*obably been culti­vated as long as any ornamental plant, and it holds a warmer place in the hearts of the people . ^ than any other flower. From earliest . times it has been a favorite. It has figured In the literature of all ages and all nations. People in all stations of life yield homage to its beauty of form and color and to its delieious fragrance. It is loved by poor and rich alike. It is grown in the door- yards of the least pretentious cottage, where often the occupants are stinted in food and raiment as well as on the grounds of large estates, where abound the choicest things that money can 1>uv, It is also grown in ^immense quantities under glass and is the most popular winter cut flower for all occa- slons.

By familiarizing himself before the planting seasons In and spring with the different types of roses and the purposes for which ^ .-they are especially suited, the rose •- gardener in city or country may add *•" greatly to the attractiveness of his home. Roses for use on lawns and along '^borders must have habits of growth , and foliage which fit them particu- IKV. larly for mass effects. Foliage, in fact, is more to be desired under such con- >4Jltions than fipe flowers, since it is a i->\ feature during the whole growing sea- ' son, while the flowers may cover a pe- jiS-^riod less than a fortnight in length.

For such use, however, they must be hardy and One fine rose which has been found admir­ able for this landscape planting is the Rugosn o»r Wrinkled Japanese rose. It is hardy in the North, succeeds well in tie South, and thrives within reach of ocean spray. It blooms nearly all summer. Both red and' white varieties are available. The Carolina rose, also suitable for lawn use, thrives (n the entire territory east of the Mississippi river, suc­ ceeding especially well in moist places. Both these varieties are relatively tail, reaching a height of from, 6 to 8 feet. The Rosa lucida, a wild type native from Pennsylvania . north, is, on the other hand, desirable for a low ground cover 2 to 3 feet high. It grows well at the seaside and. under other ad­ verse condition?. The Prairie rose has a wider range than any of the other roses named above, being native from Canada to Florida and west to Wis­ consin, Nebraska and Texas. It is a single variety and thrives under ad­ verse conditions. Among the other roses which may be particularly use­ ful for landscape planting are the Ar-, kansas rose, Sweet Brier, Rosa eglait- teria or Rosa lutea, Dwarf Polyanthaj Cabbage rose, and the Damask rose. The roses classed in the lawn and ^border group are adapted to a wide range of soil conditions and may be counted on to succeed in any but ex­ tremely heavy or very sandy soils. Many of them will do well even oq • such soil types. The principal essen­ tials are thorough drainage and a plen­ tiful supply of organic matter, with a reasonably constant water supply dur­ ing the growing season. In general a soil capable of growing good garden or field crops is suitable for roses. The deeper the soil and the better the preparation at the beginning, the more satisfactory will be the results. The best fertilizer for roses is rotted cow manure, though any other well- rotted manure or good compost will serve the purpose. Fresh manure, es­ pecially horse manure, should be avoided, though if no other manure is available it may be used with extreme care. It must not come in direct con­ tact with the roots 'when planting nor should any quantity of it be used Im­ mediately beneath the plant to cut off direct connection with the subsoil and the water supply. Of the commercial I rose frozen when received they should be placed where they will thaw gradu­ ally and should not be unpacked until there is no question that the frost is out. More plants are killed by undue ex­ posure of roots at planting time than from any other cause. No matter how short the distance to the permanent planting location, plants should be taken there with the robts thoroughly covered. The rtiots may be placed in a bucket of water while removing to the planting ground and until plant­ ing. or they may be puddled in a mix­ ture of thin clay and then kept cov­ ered with wet burlap or other protec­ tion. Care should % taken, that the clay does not become dry before Roses Pruned Individual Bloom. ^4; ; moderately free in growth, and must possess foliage reasonably dis­ ease resistant and free from Insect at- ff-V tack. ... * "'-HA*BAD ODORS HAVE VIRTUES •T*ey Give Warning of Presence^ of >• U Disease Breeding Matter and " fV Prevent Epidemics. - *• "Even a bad ordor has its uses.

S&- J Offensive ddors indirectly fertilizers, ground bone is excellent as additional food. It will not, however, answer as a substitute for an abun­ dant supply of compost. Cottonseed meal, where it is cheap enough, may be used as a substitute for bone. Wood ashes are sometimes a helpful addi­ tion or, when they are not available, lime and muriate of potash may be used and should be applied separate­ ly. Rose growers having only sandy soils should make more frequent ap­ plications of ihanure than those deal­ ing with the heavier soils, since the organic matter burns out more rapid­ ly in a soil rich in sand. . The chief consideration in the plant­ ing plan for roses for landscape ef­ fects is that the plants should be so spaced that when they reach maturity they will come together without over­ crowding. The habits of growth of the 'particular- varieties chosen will be the determining factor. The spacing should in general range from 2 to 6 feet. Early spring planting is best in the extreme northern part of the United States and on the western plains wher§, there are strong drying winds In winter. In other regions fall planting is advantageous but not suf­ ficiently s<v to warrant postponing planting from spring until autumn. When possible, however, it Is well enough to push planting In the fall rather than to wait until spring. Spring planting should be done as soon as the ground Is dry enough to work, or when it springs apart after being squeezed in the hand. Fall planting is best done as soon as the reaves have fallen from trees and bushes. Planting methods for border and lawn roses .apply also to practically all other roses. Stock should be planted as soon as possible after it arrives. When it Is impossible to plant Im­ mediately, the plants should be placed in a" trench and the roots covered. If the plant roots are dry when received, soaking them in water an hour or more before this heellng-in is done is desirable. If the stems are shriveled, plumpness may be restored and growth insured by burying the whole plant for a few days. If the plants are tentlon to the breeding place of the disease, the Louisville Courier-Journal says. They give warning that some­ thing is wrong and they persist in this Warning by becoming more and more offensive until the wrong is righted. The odor does not convey the germ or communicate the disease, because in most rases direct contact is «eces- 'sary to do this, or the infection Is com-1' munieuted by some substance taken In­ to or brought In contact with the body. But it does tell where the disease ex­ ists or i*. Ukely to exist. It also give* for Cut Flowers Nothing Can Rival the Beauty of the Rose. planting. It Is important to set the plants a little deeper than they were before. If planted too deep, however, the bark of the burled stems would be Injured ajid growth would be checked until new roots form nearer the sur­ face. In planting dormant bushes it is de­ sirable to trim the ends of broken roots and any that are too long just before they are put into the hole, so that there will be smooth, fresh sur­ faces which can callus and heal over. It Is usual to have this fresh-cut sur­ face on the under side of the root. The hole In which the bush is to be planted should be several inches larger across than' the roots will ex­ tend and ample in depth, with a little loose earth on the bottom. The roots should be separated well in all direc­ tions with the soil well worked in among them, separating them into layers, each of* which should'be spread out like the fingers of the hand. When the hole is partialis full, the plant should be shaken up and down so as to n?ake sure it is in close contact with the soil under the crown where the roots hranch. When the roots are well covered the soil should be firmed. This is best done by tramping. If the soil is in proper condition tramping cannot Injure the plants. This will leave a depression about them, but all the roots will be covered. When all are planted, each one may be watered, although this usually is not necessary, especially if the roots have been puddled before planting. If water is applied, permit it to soak In about the roots and then fill the hole with dry earth. Do not tramp after watering. With the soil wet it would be injurious to compact it more. If not watered the depression should be filled with loose earth the same as though it had been watered. After planting no watering should be done idm ***• »e Proper and * Improper , depths of planting roses. The line indicates sur­ face of soil. unless very dry weather follows, and even then care mast be exercised not to overdo it till after growth starts. In watering, it lis desirable to draw away some earth from about the bush, apply the water, and' after it has soaked 10 draw dry earth about the plant again. The purposes for which roses are planted largely will determine the pruning methods to be employed. At the time of planting border and lawn roses one-half to two-thirds of the wood should be removed. At later prunlngs weak branches should be taken off, and long canes that would be liable to whip around and loosen the plant should be cut back. As far as practicable, pruning other than this should be accomplished by cutting out whole branches rather than by cutting off the ends. After fhe first year, pruning should consist of removing deadf dying, or weak wood, and cross­ ing branches, including any that may be found with discolored pith. Cut­ ting off the ends of branches should warning of tainted or unfit food, as the nose is intended by nature to be one of rain's chief allies in the fight for health. . - <<• 1 Some have even gone so fpr as to state that mothers should not discour­ age or forbid their children smelling their food before they eat it. The ten­ dency to do this Is said to be a natural one. The nose Is ntft placed above the mouth by accident. It was de­ signed in primitive man as a guide- post, for his stomach and it is still a pgood guide. be avoided. Most of the roses sug­ gested for border planting are im proved by having the whole top cut off every five'or six years. All prun­ ing of these ros^s should be done In the spring, as summer or fall pruning would remove the hips prematurely and thus rob the plant# of much of their attractiveness during the winter. Border and lawn roses are hardy and need protection only under ex­ tremely trying conditions. In the arid plains region, if the autumn has been exceptionally dry, it may be ad vitiable the first wintpr to provide s good mulching after the soil, has been thoroughly soaked. ' Covering will be unnecessary. Rosee for the Arbor and Trellis. The character of. the foliage and hardiness should be. Important consid­ erations in choosing types of climbing roses for covering arbors, trellises, pergolas, pillars and similar struc­ tures. 'Roses used in this way are usually in conspicuous places and flow­ ers can be depended on for ornamen­ tal effects for a relatively short period only during the year. Climbing roses with a poor leaf development or tho®e especially liable to attack by Insects and diseases, therefore, make but a poor appearance. The climbing roses are divided roughly into two divisions. The pillar roses are those not growing more than 6 or 8 feet high. The more vigorously growing roses of the group are the climbers or ramblers. Of the trellis and arbor rofes the members of the Wichuraiana or Me­ morial group are among those most resistant to disease and insect attack. They have foliage pleasing to the eye throughout practically all seasons. The blossoms are white and single. The Multiflora climbers flower in clusters. Many of them, however, es­ pecially the so-called ramblers, are subject to mildew and Insect attacks. They are reasonably hardy in the North. Roses of the Laevigata group, represented by the Cherokee, on the other hand,> require a warm climate. This Is true also of the roses of the climbing Noisette group represented by the Marechal Niel and Lataarque. These roses are suitable for culture only In the warmer sections where the winter temperature seldom falls below 40 degrees F. above zero. Climbing roses require large quanti­ ties of plant food. The body of good soil available should be equal to a mass 3 feet square and 30 inches deep. A hole of this volume should be dug and filled with good garden soil mixed with well-rotted manure. Climbers, like all other roses, require good drainage. No roses will .thrive where water stands about their roots. Plant- Cross-Section of Weil-Prepared Bed. Rose ing should be done carefully as In' the case of roses for landscape purposes. This method has already been de­ scribed. Special pruning methods must be employed for climbing *ro#es. These methods are determined by more or less of a coAipfomise between the de­ sire, on the one hand, to f6rce the growth of blossom-bearing, new wood, by removing old wood, and, on. the other hand, the desire to keep arpors and similar structures at least partial­ ly covered. One-half of the wood should be pruned from all the climbs e^s, as frpm the other types of roses, at planting time. In the case of the established plants the Wichuraiana and hardy climbing roses should be pruned just aft;er blooming. At this time young shoots will have started from the roots. The growth of these shoots should be encouraged, as It is from them that most of the branches are produced that bear the following year's bloom. The best way Is to re­ move all the old wood at this time, so that all the strength will go Into the young shoots. Where the roses are trained pver a trellis so high that one season's growth will not cover It, the method just ^escribed is not practi­ cable. In such cases some of the old shoots should be cut off at the ground, and the others should be shortened frotn 3 to 6 feet, depending on the amount of growth the vine lias been making each year. New shoots should be trained to take the place of those removed. It should be kept constant­ ly in mind that the present year's growth bears next year's flowering branches and that a few vigorous branches are more desirable than many weak ones. Roses of the hybrid Noisette group, of which the Marechal Niel is a rep­ resentative, should be trained to a good strong cane, with the side shoots cut back to about three eyes. The main cane can be renewed occasion­ ally. • The Cherokee rosfc should be treat­ ed like the border roses, pruning only dying or crossing branches. Every few years It may be cut back severely and allowed to start again. Overdoing It. • Homer--When it comes to cleanli­ ness my wife is the limit. Neighbors--Indeed!

Senator Stone's action was takea to foreshadow further diplomatic negotia­ tions with Colombia for a new treaty, which would not be received with such strong objections. An effort to frame a more acceptable treaty is expected before the congress, which .convenes in special session April 10, has ad-, journed. , * , Withdrawal of the treaty was expect­ ed in view of the announcement that President Wilson wished the treaty ratified because of the situation in which the United States might find It­ self in Central America. ; The attitude of the administration In the withdrawal of the treaty was not openly disclosed, but It was apparent that such action would not have been taken without a previous understand­ ing. Sudden withdrawal of the treaty with Colombia and postponement until the session of April 16 is explained by developments disclosing an offer of Colombia to reconsider certain provi­ sions as to condemnation of Roose­ velt's course in taking Panama, also to reduce amount of award and partic­ ularly to add provisions allowing ex­ tra fortifications on the coast of Co­ lombia by the United States and an agreement not to allow any European or Asiatic nation privileges of naval or military base without the consent of the United Slates. 0.

Hudson's "Adventures Amonf Birds," contains this story at genius ^asserting Itself: ; On a certain small island on the coast of Norway the geese used to congregate every year in large num­ bers, and here one autumn some years ago a goose was caught by the leg in a steel trap set for a fox. The keeper from a distance saw the whole vast gathering of geese rise up and circle round and round in a cloud, ifrith a tre­ mendous outcry, and When he got to the spot he found the bird struggling violently in the trap. He took it home to a larger Island close by, where his master, my Informant's friend, had a farm. From that day the wild geese Clever settled on the islet, which they had used as a resting place for many years. The bird he had accidentally catight "was an old gander, and Its leg was broken; but the keeper set to work to repair the injury, and after bind­ ing it up he put the bird into an out­ house, and eventually it got quite well. He pinioned it and put it out with the other birds. A little while before the old gander had been caught tlie foxes became so troublesome at the farm that It was found necessary to shut up all the birds every night in inclbsnres and houses made for the purpose; and as the birds preferred to be out, the keeper had to spend a good deal of time every evening In collecting and driving them in. Now, before the old wild goose had been able to go about many days with th6 others It was noticed that he was acquiring a kind of mastery over them, and that every day as evening ap­ proached he began to try to lead, and failing in that, to drive, them to the inclosures and buildings. The keeper curious to see how far this would go began to relax his efforts, and as his efforts slackened the gander's zeal increased, until he was left to do the whole work himself; all the keeper had to do was to go round himself and shut the doors. That state of things has now continued for some years, and the old wild goose was the acknowl­ edged leader and master of all the birds on the farm. Youth's Cooi' panlon.

Hugh Stokes, an English writer, has made a study of social manners In the days of Fox, Sheridan, Horace Wal- pole, Gibbon and Dr. Samuel Johnson, In which he portrays "The Glorious Georgiana,", duchess of% Devonshire, whpm he makes a most entertaining character in touch with the top of Eng­ lish and French aristocracy. He tells us In the Devonshire Home Circle that in the'eighteenth century women soon grew old; that at the age of twenty- nine Marie Antoinette, the wife of Louis XVI, gravely discussed the ques­ tion with her modiste, Rose Bertln. She would soon be thirty. No ofte would dare acquaint her of her increasing years. Her Idea was to change her manner of dress, which Inclined too much to that of extreme youth. In consequence she should wear no more flowers or feathers. The Glorious Georgiana complained to the French ambassador that she was already seven and tweqty years old. "Consider," said the glorious one, "what an age that 1st" To which theTingallant am­ bassador replied that "in France at seven and twenty a woman was consid­ ered elderly." Debt § Matter of Habit.
