THE SCENT OF MUSK
One day, some years ago, we
had just reoccupied an old fort
in Waziristan without opposi-
tion. Then, next day, the In-
dian tahsildar—the representa-
tive of civil law, such as it
was in those parts, came to me
and said: "I smell, a rat in the
air!" Again, one day last week,
the scent of musk was in the
air in Goderich. However, this
was "not the long lost scent
of the musk flower which dis-
appeared so suddenly some
years ago and has never been
recaptured. On, the contrary,
this was a long and beautifully
auburn haired customer which,
quite naturally seemed at the
time, was requiring the atten-
tion of a hairdresser and find-
ing the door open, entered and
solicited attention. And what
a tail it had!
When I arrived with my hair

so it appeared that a gold deal
of pruning would be necessary.
it is not suggested that this is
the moment to prune hybrid
teas; it should.be done just
�oefore growth begins. Remove
the dead wopd; cut an inch or
two under dark colored areas
and if no buds are left, clip
the entire branch. Cut off all
weak growth and any canes
sprouting towards ' the centre
of the plant. Where two
branches cross remove the
weaker one. Shape by cutting
in mut healthy canes to a uniform
length, if not of color, the ton- height, but save as much wood

strong outward facing bud.
,After a harsh winter such as
last where plant tops have been
killed, not much shaping is
possible, so save all the live
wood and prune down to about
1.2 inches.
Floribundas may be pruned
as for hybrid teas, but if you
prefer taller bushes, keep them
at 18 inches, even when the
winter has been rigorous.
Tree roses should be pruned
as soon as they are set upright.
After severing all .dead wood,
cut the live canes back to six
or eight inches from the crown
to encourage compact and vig-
orous growth.
The large flowered and ever -
blooming climpers do not de-
velop as much new growth eac
year as the hardier climbers,
The targe flowered and ever -
blooming varieties bloom only
on second year or older wood,
so make sure you preserve this,
When ever -blooming climbers
have finshed the original bloom,
only flowers should be removed
as reblooming occurs from top
leaves just under flower clust-
ers. -
Shrub roses should be pruned
after they dower and then
