Something should be said about
planting and cultivation.
How To Plant a Rose
The care bestowed. on a rose
in planting and during its fiat
year' in a new home determines
the successful growth of the
bush. When removed from the
nursery, the -bush. is 'virtually a
"hospital case," mainly due to
° shock from mutilation and ex-
p.osure...., l ,.c.ao)aoti.,plaAn,t at

position and cover ,roots and
stems with` moist earth. "
The best months to planit are
October and early November,
but the soil must be moist and
friable only; not wet and sticky.
Now obtain- sOdi'd:: `pet"-"-Thbs
and fill" a three gallon pail, add
water until it is moist, then two
handfuls "of, bone meal and mix
well. Open a hole 18 inches
by 18 inches and about a foot

bed. Spread out the roots of
the rose and crown the hill of
peat mix with the rose so that -
the roots lie down the surface
of the cone or hill. Keep the
'crown of the bush, that is the
joint between stock ' a, td' root,
level with the bed surface. Fill
peat mix into the hole and tread
it down, starting from the outer
edge of the hole and 'Maintain-
ing 'the 'crown level with the
bed. Fill in peat mix above the
crown to allow for settlement.
The purpose of a dry to moist
till is to ensure contact with all
root surfaces—rlo air pockets
—and Crisis reinforced,by firm

How Is
Business? -
Riding a rising, tide of busi-
ness activity, Canada's economy
seems certain to expand -.in the
months, ahead, Dalton Robertson
says in TheFinancial Post,
Business has .. been advancing
without a major setback or in-
ventory excess for almost 42
months—a' postwar record for
longevity—and there is plainly
enough momentum to carry the
expansion along to a series of
records. But one cloud on
the business ,horizon, not yet
big enough to worry about, i,n-
t jects a note of caution into , a
business climate that is increas-
ingly dominated by -boom con-
ditions.
Imports into Canada are now
rising rapidly. By contrast, im-
port 'siircharg-es, , and C$ devalu-
ation depresse 1 the level of im-
