WHEN TO PLANT—We advocate planting in the fall, in friable soil, firmly packed with the foot, but do not bruise the roots; give good soaking of water after planting. As soon as severe freezing weather sets in, raise the earth around the plant 3 to 4 inches, with leaves, straw or evergreen boughs, weighting the former with pieces of wood or limbs. Dormant plants set in the spring should be planted early, before growth is started. No plants suffer more by being planted late than does the rose. PRUNING—This should be done during .March: for hybrid perpetuals remove about one- third to one-half of the previous year's growth. Strong growing varieties require less pruning back than weak growing ones. In the ever-blooming class, two-thirds of the previous year's growth should be removed. Cut out all old or decaved wood annually, also all feeble branches and such as are crowding each other. Some of the hybrid perpetual varieties can be made to bloom again in the fall if pruned soon after spring blossoming time is over. INSECTS AND DISEASES—It is very important to keep your plants healthy and vigor- ous and free from diseases and insects. If troubled with green fly, spray vigorously, covering thoroughly every part of the foliage with sulpho-tobacco soap or kerosene emulsion, made by mixing two parts of kerosene with one part of sour milk. Dilute with twenty parts of soft, water' Bordeaux mixture is one of the best preventives from mildew and black spots, which are fungous diseases usually caused by continuous wet weather. By careful attention the dis- eases and insects may be kept down and pl
