These are the bush roses which give us blooms which have exquisite colouring and exciting form. Many of them are very fragrant and bloom is continuous from the middle of June until late in the fall, A well -grown Hybrid Tea rose will grow two to three -and -a - half feet tall and three or four feet in diameter. The importance of buying top quality rose bushes cannot be over -emphasized. So- called "bargain roses" seldom live up to their name, if they live at all. My suggestion would be to choose two each of the following: Peace — the most popular and top rated rose in the world today. Peace is a pale gold in color, edged and flushed with rose. Flowers are unusually large and fragrant and are borne on strong stems which rise from healthy abundant foliage. Peace richly deserves its world- wide reputation as the queen of modern roses. I don't know of a more satisfactory variety to plant in any garden. Chrysler Imperial — here we have one of the finest deep red roses. The long tapering, velvety buds unfold to large high -centered five inch flowers containing 40 petals. Flowers are a brilliant red with darker overtones. The flowers are sweetly scented, the stems sturdy, bush symmetrical and the foliage semi -glossy and disease resistant. Helen Traubel — is a variety that will flower well in all types of weather. The buds and blooms are coloured with clear tints of apricot and salmon pink. Bushes are tall and vigorous, producing lots of flowers throughout all the sea- son. Blooms are very large. Tiffany — is the variety that will give you plenty of fra- grance. Blooms are a beauti- ful salmon -pink in color and have outstanding quality. The long pointed buds are deep pink with a golden yellow shading at the base of the petals. It's not uncommon to see stems measuring from 20 to 24 inches in length. Plants have vigorous growth, beautiful dark green foliage and have an upright habit of growth. In southern Ontario it's one of the first roses to bloom in the spring and one of the last to stop flowering in the fall. Sutter's Gold — is the top rated rose in England and a big bed of this fine hybrid tea is Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, May 9, 1963 -- Page 23 light, the same treatment will apply.

Sutter's Gold is especially fine for cut- ting with the blooms coming singly on strong stems. Color is a warm golden -orange touch- ed with flushes of copper and vermilion. Blooms are 4 to 5 inches across and fragrant. Bushes are hardy and disease - resistant. Mojave — is a pleasant com- bination of soft apricot -orange tinted with red. Each bloom is quite double and measures 4 to 4-1/2 inches across. THE ANNUAL BORDER Quantities of flowers the first year is the most fervent wish of new home owners. Flowering trees, shrubs and perennials cannot be expected to provide a great show of bloom the first year after planting. They have a big eno igh job getting themselves established in ther new soil and surroundings. The annual border is an easy, quick and inexpensive way of filling this need. Bor- ders in the average sized pro- perty are placed down the sides or back to help form a floral frame around the garden. Where the back garden is parti- cularly large, an annual border can also be used to divide the back lawn from a vegetable and fruit garden. Biggest mistake that most people make is to build a border that is much too nar- row. Annuals are divided into three height groups; tall, medium and short, and the annual border must be large enough to accommodate plants of all three groups. Six feet would be the minimum width, and eight feet is much more satisfactory. In many small gardens, there is really not enough room to have the front edges of the border shaped into sweeping curves. Although a border would be more attractive and garden -like when landscaped in this manner, the beginner to gardening will find the straight lines are much easier to maintain. Later on, some curving of the edges could be carried out. Borders located down the sides or back of the garden need a suitable background. This is achieved by planting a hedge, or erecting a wooden fence. Either would be suit- able, but a hedge is considered to add much more charm and garden attractiveness. On the other hand, a wooden fence provides an immediate back- ground and helps keep child- ren and dogs from wandering through. In setting out the plants in the border, you must remem- ber to leave enough room for maintenance work in pruning the hedge, or painting the fence. There are very few new homes which arc surrounded by soil in good enough shape to plant immediately without any further preparation. In all too many new subdivisions, the soil is little better than poor sub soil. To get the soil in growing shape for the first season, you will need to dig into it a quan- tity of humus. It won't matter whether your soil is heavy or up, improves the drainage and lets the vital oxygen circulate much more freely. In the lighter soils, the humus acts as a sponge, and helps to retain the moisture, and prevents the plant foods from being leached away, Any of the following types of humus are satisfactory for this purpose: materials process- ed from sewage; peat moss; well -rotted barnyard manure; discarded mushroom manure and compost. For poor soils, the humus can be applied at the rate of 8 to 1u bushels per 100 square feet, For reasonably good earth 0 bushels per 100 square feet will be sufficient. The top 7 or 8 inches of the soil and humus should be thor- oughly mixed together, either by hand using a spade, or by use of rotary tillage equipment. One or two final rakings to level the puffed up soil, and your border is ready for plant- ing. HOW TURQUOISE WAS NAMED In the 16th century, the turquoise was brought into Europe from Persia, via Turkey. Hence it was called the Turkey stone, from which its modern name derives. In those days many believed, superstitiously, that the wearer of a turquoise would be protected from injury by falling. The ancient Egyp- tians worked truquoise mines in the Sinai Peninsula almost as long ago as 4000 B.C. G.
