An experienced rose grower in the course of an address made the ob- servation that if he 'Were spending fifteen dollars in establishing a rose bed, he would spend- ten if necessary ett the preparation of -the soil. The nose when planted becomes a fixture so long as it lives and thrives and as it roots deeply it is important that the soil be made, as -suitable as possible -fed it. A clay loam is perhaps the best soil possible for hoses, and in estab- lishing a bed in a sandy garden, it will be well to haul from even long distances the clay necessary to stiffen up the soil. Roses require good drain- age. This also Should be taken care of before the bed is established. The ordinary garden, that isdevliere other, crops do well, may be depended upon to grow good roses without elaborate preparation. A sunny location is es- sential and the morning and afternoon sun are of more value than the more intense sunshine of the afternoons. Repeated efforts to grow roses on the north side of the dwelling where they receive sunihine senly for a brief per- iod in the afternoon proved a failure.. They require not only good sunshine but an airy atmosphere,' protected, however, from the sweep of cold north winds. Soils even of good ,quality should be enriched with well, rotted barnyard manure before the roses are planted working it well down through In Preparing a bed it is.well to ex- cavate a trench,from a ftept and a half to two feet deep and to fill this with a mixture of surface soil clay and manure. A few quarts of bonemeal / . to the rod will also help sustain the fertility during the years that follow. The bed should be allowed to settle for a few weeks before the planting takes place. Strong two-year-old budded plants are best to plant. One -year-old plants are cheaper but are slower in coming into production. When the plants are received in the spring they will present a, gather withered ap- pearance as they will probably have been in cold storage during the win- ter. They should be either buried for a few days 'n -mist soil, root and branch, or be soaked in water until the bark presents a freshened ap- pearance. -in planting, the hole should be dug large enough to allow the roots to be Well spread.
