Last October I had trenches made two feet deep for the new roses to be planted this spring.* We put two inches of coal cinders on the bottom, then two inches of tobacco stems and filled in With good soil, mix- in^^in some bone m^Sil:" ^.pn tidp we put'_ ;ft'fiwlck*'^^Ijft;f cattle-niaiiur^ i^oniVj^h Kaflsas dity' stock yards, wjl^^imit be turned under before plammgill' 1 there anything else that will help? B. W. L less affected than most varieties with any of the ills that rose plants are heir to. I consider Shawyer a better pink for summer work than My Maryland, though either will do well if conditions are favorable. Shawyer throws a crop quickly, is most persistent in holding its color and is a marvelous rose in every It has one fault in some sections; it is subject to mildew. It has never bothered us in that way here, but I cannot say whether it would bother E. E. M. in Oklahoma. Mary- land, while practically mildew-proof, is a slow-growing rose and will not pro- duce nearly as long stems as will Shaw- yer. Cecile Brunner is a dainty midsum- mer rose. If E. E. M. is not acquainted with it, I would say it is too small for any but the most delicate work. It is as good a small rose as any in that type. These roses are not disbudded, but -are grown in light, graceful sprays. ,Chas. H. Tottv. AMEBICAK BOSE SOCIETY. The exhibition of the American Rose Society, March
