"you can't grow roses with." out spraying-in fact you can't greW anything Without Spray- ing" the rose enthusieSt. Per lieves.lie prays his rep °bushes every week with an insecticide- fungicide and every other week adds liquid fertilizer. Using a twp-gallon sprayer it takes about one-half hour, He epplies bone meal mixed with sand, one part to three, the first week in June and also the first week in July. The rose hobbyist finds it not wise to fer- tilize after July as too much growth in the fall provides more chance of winter injury. Mr. Harvey removes all spent and faded blooms from the rose bushes each morning and often picks off as much as two pails of solidly packed faded blooms. Not only are these cut off for the sake of their unattractive- ness but, if permitted to remain, detract from the effect of the other flowers that are opening. The spent petals scattered on the ground certainly do not imprpve the garden picture. The more important reason is to prevent the plant from spending energy in forming seed or fruit that should be producing addi- tional flowers. The Harveys claim they do very little to protect their rose bushes in the winter other than cutting off some of the taller stems or branches that might catch the wintry blasts, "I used to go to great lengths to mound up the roses to protect them but no more—they winter just as well without this extra precau- tion" Mr. Harvey states. Mrs. Harvey shares her hus- band's enthusiasm for flowers and roses in particular. They have a great deal of pleasure in sharing their garden and flowers with others and wel- come interested visitors. They furnished the lovely roses and peonies at the graduation ban- quet Friday night. In the spring, too, the garden was a picture with over 75 varieties of tulips. Plan no inquest — Continued from front page careless driving as a result of the accident. On July 3, a Dearborn woman, Mrs. Joan Davis damaged her car in an amount of $150 when she scraped against another car in the Esso station at St. Jo- seph, All the world loves a rose— so it seems as many people enthuse over the beautiful fra- grant roses growing in the gar- dens of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Harvey, Main Street, these summer days. The r 0 Se garden contains some 270 hushes and. Mr, Har- veY knows them all byname and by their characteristics for, like human beings, eYerY rose familY has its Own traits and peculiarities, In his years of wprkhig with flowers Mr. Harvey modestly says he hes adopted the lazy-. man's way of caring for his roses—taking short cuts where possible, But the trim appear- ance of the flower beds and the abundance of bloom belies this statement. Wpe to the weed which dares to appear above the earth's surface. A hoe, which was once quite broad, has worn thin and small from usage and from sharpening. One of the requisites of a good gardener is a sharp hoe according to this rose enthusiast. The rose beds are laid out in symmetrical designs and here and there trellises andpergolas of climbing roses add to the beauty especially when smoth- ered in bloom. A terrace of yellow sedum in bloom, a bed of coral bells andtrees compli- ment the roses. The peony sea- son is just over. Mr. Harvey keeps abreast of the new roses as they come on the market. Garden Party, the All American Winner for 1960, is the nearest to a white rose he has in his many varieties. It is a creamy ivory flushed with pink on the tips of the petals. The blooms are often six inches across. Color in roses is pre- ferred to the pure white by this rose fancier. Pink Parfait, one of the 1961 All American winners, is daint- ily colored from pale pink to a rich rose pink, is very prolific and excellent for corsages and boutonnieres. John S. Armstrong, the dark velvety red grandiflora winner for 1962, is color fast and one of Mr. Harvey's favorites. Tropicana, the 1963 award win- ner, is another favorite. It is an orange red and has won 13 awards. Granada, the 1964 winner, is an eyeful of color in a bold blend of nasturtium red and canary yellow. Sharing top hon- ors for 1965 is Camelot. Mr. Harvey notes that one of the biggest steps forward in rosegrowing during the past decade was the introduction of the new grandiflora class in 1955. Combining the outstanding characteristics of hybrid teas and floribundas the grandifloras have the reputation of being the easiest 'roses to grow. Plants are vigorous and tall growing. They produce the full flower clusters of the floribunda and the beautifully formed blooms of the hybrid tea. The long individual stems make them excellent for cutting and ar- ranging, The varieties men- tioned in the previous para- graphs belong in that class. "I have lots of gold in my garden" claims Mr. Harvey as he notes that he has roses named Golden Slippers, Gold Cup, Golden Showers, Royal Gold, and Sutter's Gold.

OUT IN FULL BLOOM Drains continued to take up much of - the discussion at the Hay Township council meeting held this week. Completion certificates were received from the engineers on two municipal drains and coun- cil authorized part payment to the contractors. John Inglis, Forwich, was granted payment of $718.40— or 80%—for his work on the Bender drain and Robert Row- cliffe, Hensel', received $703— or 95%—for his work on the Neeb drain. The cheques deposited by the two contractors were also re- turned. Louis Farewell requested a clear-out of the Masse drain and his request was accepted and the clerk authorized to contact C. P. Corbett, engineer, to make a survey and present a report as soon as possible. Corbett will also be requested to call tenders to construct a drainage work on the sideroad 5-6 Lake Road east. Tenders are to be in by July 25. In other business, council: Decided to sell a road allow- ance in St. Joseph provided they have the legal right. If not they will close the road according to the act. The lane is not used GB court — Continued from front page the beach, the man had to be assisted from his own car into the cruiser, James Donnelly, Goderich, defence lawyer, asked the court not to take the defendant's li- cence, because he was an older man needing transportation to his Work. McClocklin was fined $100 and costs and his permit was Suspended for three months. William A.

Pugsley had been Observed in his car "pinwheeling around on the road" described by the crown attorney, as "erratic, senseless driving in a vehicle with too much power for the driver."

Many of the offenders in court Were front Michigan centres and Toronto and Hamilton Ode that fined was from dalitornia. GB water — Continued from front page guarantee has been given the village that this system will produce water. However, on Monday night, Councillor Ian Coles urged that the Baldwin-Stirrat group be approached again, and asked if they will consider putting in the system for a period of two years, or until the Ontario Pipe Line is available to the village. Dr. E. A. McMaster, chair- man of the Citizens Water C om- mitts*, was invited by telephone to attend the meeting. He pre- dicted that the cost of water from the Ontario grid might be quite reasonable, maybe 13 to 15 cents per thousand gallons. He noted that they had been unable to receive any satisfac- tory answers from OWRC as yet, and urged getting a meeting arranged as soon as possible. Councillor O. Wassma.nn re- ported that a firm was in the area already, making test dredging on the lake bottom, so that they could Make an in- telligent tender on the job of installing the pipeline. Reeve Stewart Webb com- mented, "Have we any other choice than to Wait for that Ontario main?" Councillor Coles, "We were in a panic in the spring for water; now apparently we don't need it for another two years."
