The snow .:has disappeared.
Just a few short 'weeks: ago we
thought it almost iinpossible :.
without disastrousfloods and
water damage. ' We have been.
treated . kindly aftier our :Severe
ordeal of winter. .
' Another few weeks will find.
us out„'among the roses.. What
do we do with them?
Well, if you are just beginning,.
let ,us: ,suggest -7-first of all "sel-
ect a spot that 'is away from
trees ,oi '. roots; one that will get'
at least. .;six' • hours of ' full sun.
each day, and ;where; '.there is
reasonably ';good. drainage, You
can• test the. drainage by filling
a hole . about'. eighteen •inche4.
deep with water and • if it • seeps
away within a few'' hours your
drainage will be satisfactory.
For, eaoh rose ' ,make.' sure you.
supply a large enough hole. We•
like to dig down about two feet,
add a 'bit : of: completely rotted
manure, then : a bit of compost,
then some good loan y 'topsoil.
This�""wll bring '.you , up- to just
about the right height Build ..up
a . cone shape and spread the
roots out over ;the' One, add a`
bit of top ..soil;: tamp down and
.add a bit. more. Then, • put in at
least a. • cupful of . bone. Meal,
then niore top soil to •almost
fill the • hole, water copiously
Keep . well watered day after
day. It, pays. to Use water that
has had, the, .chill taken :off. it.
Just how deep , should' you
plant? Authorities .:do` not agree,
but let us . suggest that you have
the ..graft (the swelling ° where
the branches come out of). about
one inch below the surface. of the
• soil,'; We have found if the graft
:is buried deeply there is a ten-
dency to `wild' :: gravyth:
Usually rose bushes are prun-
ed ate. the nursery :but you might'
•
check 'and' you: could ;shape up
your plant Make :sure your.' cuts
are cleanan d sloping to the 'out:
-
side.
Always make your cut 'just
above an •outside . �bttd: 'If there.
appears to be a number . of dead
twigsor a :.quantity of a twiggy
growth, . cut it out, it 'will not
provide satisfactory ''bloom any-
**.
..'Those who have an established”
rose bed,- :'should look, atter -their
pruning and 'then .give' then an
abundant feeding. If you are .in
doubt :as to what fertilizer to, use;
we• suggest you take a soil sam-
ple' and Send it. to the O.A,C.
Guelph and theywill tell you
what 'you : should use ,for your'
particular' soil. This costs only
the • postage and is. well 'worth
the • effort " • •
. Your roses will want another
feeding when they come 'into'
bloom dnd..again the early part
of August. DO not feed after that
.because there may be young
• growth that, would. be : easily
Winter' killed
If' ,you, cannot be . bothered
weeding your; bed we suggest
you mulch with' peat, buckwheat
hulls. or some such • material. It
•usually saves'+a` lot of work and
keeps the bed looking. neat. Set
up,a regular program of dusting
or spraying to ward :off insect of
fungi damage Pomo green 'usu-
'ally does a pretty . fair job :6f
controlling everything if applied
regularly.
Climbing roses • are . handled.
differentlythan the : foregoing.
'We have told you about the tea
roses so fa'r. ' Some types of
climbing roses' need very• little
pruning as they bloom...on old
and new wood. ITt might. be well
to suggest- you just remove 'suf-
ficient old Wood or dead ,stock
to` keep the bush in a nice shape.
Floribundas should have the thin
twiggy growth replayed occa-
sionally to keep the bush nicely
formed. Learn to love your ros-
.es so that you know *hen they
are healthy and happy and in
good condition, -then do not dis-
.curb them :unnecessarily except
•to . remove dead blooms or to cut
blooms:Cuttng roses is a little chore

The Scrap Book
° This is quite a • space fo r the
paper thisweek so we'll ' just
glance briefly at the 'scrap book.
People 'are • arriving' back from
Florida now, have ' 'you heard
this one?
A man, stopped".his 'Cadillac m
,.front : ,of a :ritzy. Florida hotel,
handed the `bell Whop a ten dollar
bill and said , "Take good, care of
the car ' son!"
"Sure will, Boss" the boy re-
plied. "I' know ' how, you fee,
'cause your car's' just like mine,'
except` mine is . a convertible."
Ineometax time makes• one
think that what .ever 'the govern-
ment gives
overnanentgives it must first take
away..•
Old timers will tell us that
the good old. 'days were when
the government, lived within, its
income ,and without most of .ours.
An old Indian recently took .aR
ancient watch into a jewelleiy
store ' for relaairs. When . the jew-
