PLANTING ROSES (Experimental Farms Note) The successful establishment of a rose plant in a new position depends to a large extent on the observance of a few important details of plant­ ing. Most rose catalogues carry in­ structions for the guidance of custom­ ers, but this advice is not generally available to those who purchase their plants from the department stores of our large cities. Observation of some of these plants badly set has prompted this article. Plants from the above source, or those obtained from a distant nurs­ ery, ate immensely benefited by be­ ing immersed tn deep water as soon as received. From 12 to 24 hours is enough, If the ground is then unfit for planting, they should be placed in shallow trenches and completely coy- ered with damp soil, making it firm about the roots and comparatively loose over the branches. Early planting is desirable and. im* portant but should not be attempted until the ground is frost-free to a considerable depth and has lost its Stickiness. During planting and at all times the roots must be protected from pro­ longed periods of exposure to sun and air. At the Morden Experimental Sta­ tion a large tub of water placed in a central position takes care of the plants in bulk, and a pail is used to carry a few at a time to where they are needed. The hole for the reception of the roots should be wide enough to allow then) to be spread to their greatest- extent and a little deeper than seems necessary. This extra depth enables the planter to place the plant in its proper position by shaking it during* the process of filling in the hole, al­ lowing the soil to flow beneath and among the roots until the plant rests at the required level. When the filling in is completed and trodden firmly, the crown, or that point of the plant from which the branches radiate, should be two inches below the sur­ face. The roses are then pruned by removing all weak growth and cut­ ting back the stronger branches to within six inches of the ground. The cut being made one-half inch above a bud pointing outwards or away from the plant centre.
