Success with roses rec(txires-no"

plants
irst-classplants and proper planting are
the two most . important
,requirements.
Quality plants obt:`a ne" 1rom
reputable nurseries or garden
centers give .you a good start on
the road to ,success. The
following planting steps are easy,,
and routine, but should ' be
carried out to the letter:
Roses aye not - particular
r, about the type of soil provided
it is reasonably fertile, friable
and well drained.'They will grow
satisfactorily in .sandy or clayey
soil. Sandy soils require added
humus, such as peat moss,
compost or well decayed animal
manure. Clay soils will benefit
from: added organic materials
such_ as straw and peat litter
coarse peat most.
Roses need a place in the sun,
and it is also better to avoid sites.
that are near trees or large
shrubs whose roots will deprive
the - roses of much-needed
nutrients and moisture.
Bushes should- be planted al,
soon as possible. rIf you must
postpone planting, leave them in
the package -in which they were
purchased ,anFL,§tore them izl a
coot place At planting„ time,
unpack "tile' bushes, -pa 'them in
a pail with enough water to
cover theloats,.;and take them
to their..planting beds_
Prepare the planting holes in
',advance„so that the soil will have
time to settle. Each hale should
be about 18' inches wide and 12
to 15 inches deep: To. ensure, an
enriched soil, add peat moss,•
decayecj leaves or well -rotted
manure to the soil removed from
the hole, using 'a ratio of one•
part compost to four parts soil.
Place several inches 'of the •
loose, . prepared soil in the hole
to forma cone-shaped mound in
the, center. Plac4 the bush owthe

naturally,, down its slope. Be sure.

After the Ovate has dra d,
finish filling the bole with your
planting mixture and then
mound up around the cane to a
height of about eight Inches.'
This prevents the buds from
drying out before the roots are
able to absorb moisture. Allow
this protective mound to remain
until the top growth starts..
When shoots appear, gradually
retnovc he mound.
Roses are thirsty plants.
Plenty of moisture, assures even
and steady growth, especially
during the hot summer months.
Water at least every ten days ifs
there hasn't been enough rain to
soak the soil to a depth of ten
inches, The bests. way to water is
to lay a shingle or piece of wood
under the end of the hose to
break the force of the water, and
allow it' to 'flow gently until the
soil is saturated. Avoid watering
plants from oterhead, as this
wets the 'foliage and encourages
,disease. y,
Roses respond ' to- regular
feedings. The simplest way is to
use a packaged 5-10-15
fertilizer and broadcast one
heaping teaspoon per plant on
the soil surface about six to
eight inches from the stem. Rake
in lightly and water thoroughly
to dissolve the fertilizer. Apply
the recommerided fertilizer early
in, spring about th'ertime the new
growth is four inches long, again
when the bushes begin to flower,'
and, once more in July.after,the
firs.t_big flush of flowers:”
. Spraying or dusting should. be
app lied : regularly • as a
preventative measure and not be
their efforts.
Main project, this year, of
course, is to raise $15,000 for
the new Guide camp •on Black's
Point Road, The Goderich
objective. is 43,900 and the kids
are working diligently to think
of ways and -means to raise this
amount.
I -trnderstand the girls will be
hosting - an historical- ' tea
sometime in June but I don't
have too many details just yet
concerning it.

And while I'm in the mood,
I'd better advise you. of .the ,Red
Cross Blood Donor Clinic which
is scheduled for Wednesday, May--.
19 in the small gymnasium at
GDCI'.
I understand that Goderich
had a record-breaking clinic here
the last time, partly „due to the
fact that folks from Blyth and
Clinton supported the clinic
here.' This year, Clinton has
'already -had a• blood clinic so
Goderich folks will have i c turn
out ..just that ' much better in
order tb keep up the good work
done iii the past.
- Note' the new hours of the
clinic -- 2 to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to
9p.m.! cs,*

I have -had ver little response
to the idea f9x'a Bicycle Ride for
Cancer which I suggested- a
couple of weeks ago. You:know'
ladies, I see no reason why this
couldn't go on this month or
eveh next month. I'm sure the
Cancer Society would accept the

develop a regular schedule; the
challenge to keep your roses in'
excellent form will prove highly-

Mrs. Shortreed has also agreed: to
