WINTER PROTEC- TION FOR ROSES • (Experimental Farms Note) The successful wintering of roses in Eastern Canada constitutes a diff- icult problem. In fact, winter losses are frequently so great as to discour- age many amateur growers, who oth- erwise would be enthusiastic rose" growers. Experiments conducted over a per- iod of years at the Experimental Sta- tion, Fredericton, New Brunswick, have indicated that these losses can be reduced to a minimum if certain precautionary measures are taken, It must be borne in mind that the site- cessful wintering of roses is depend- ent upon the interaction of a number of factors, all of which are important. In the first place, it is necessary to have a vigorous, well -grown bush with the wood well ripened before the onset of winter.. This implies the planting of the bush in a favorable lo- cation followed by proper fertiliza- tion and cultivation practice. This practice should be such as to pro- mote a vigorous growth in the early summer followed by a slackening of growth in mid -summer and a thor- ough ripening of wood in the Fall. Nitrogenous fertilizers should not be applied after the first week in Aug- ust and artificial watering should al- so be gradually reduced to a mini- mum. Heavyfertilization in the ear- ly summer is advisable in order to promote a vigorous growth. Small bushes, which have made a very weak growth during the summer, are much more susceptible to winter injury than large vigorous buses, providing the wood is well ripened. After the bushes are properly grown, it is then necessary to give them suitable winter protection. This can best be done by hilling up each individual bush to a height of at least eight inches with soil, filling in the intervening space with manure or some other form of litter. This should be renoved'very early in the spring, in order to hasten the thawing of the soil underneath. The bushes should then be uncovered as soon as the soil is fit to move.

The Man Who Knows Whether the Remedy - You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia°. or Rheumatism Pains. is SAFE is Your Doctor. Ask Him :,P+ Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well -Being to Unknown Preparations � EFORE you take any prepara- tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the. pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it — in comparison with "Aspirin." We say this because, before the discovery of "Aspirin," most so- called `pain" remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical ' practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken "Aspirin" year ins and out without Ill effect, have• proved that the medical findingss>. about its safety were correct. Remember this: "Aspirin" is - rated among the fastest methods get discovered for the relief of'headaches- and all common pains .. and s for the average person to take regularly. "Aspirin" Tablets are made in Canada. "Aspirin" is the registered trade -mark of the Bayer Company, Limited. Look for the name Bayer in the form of a cross on every tablet.
