Disbudding in the usual way as practiced for tea roses is not necessary for American Beauty. Sulphur is sometimes dusted upon the plants in summer and remains until the routine spraying swills it oft. It is by no means a generally applied remedy by laige growers, who, for tea roses when attacked by mildew, usually prefer heat- ing the pipes and painting tliem with sul- phur mixed with water. Cool nights should be chosen for this operation, and the sulphur must be painted on while the pipes are hot and the house closed. To mix the sulphur, put only a very little water on it at first and make it into a paste; otlierwise it will not mix with the water. Lime is not of much value as a fertil- izer, though in some cases by its chemical action on the soil it releases other chem- ical constituents in the soil that are use- ful to the plants. Its chief use in rose growing is to destroy the green scum that forms on the surface of the soil, and for this purpose it may be sprinkled on at the rate of one pound to the square yard, repeating the dose, if necessary, or a weaker one. The cause of black spot is a fungoid attack, and remedial measures consis' of removing any affected leaves and endeavoring to keep the plants healthy and in a good growing condition. Healthj- plants usually grow out of its attacks. Many good growers use tobacco stems entirely for fumigation, with good re- sults, while others use various proprietary articles, also cayenne pepper and other strong remedies for thrips. The tobacco stems will kill the aphides. American Beauty is a hybrid tea and is perhaps a little more difficult to grow than the majority of varieties, though when the details are once mastered success usually follows. The plants should be at least one foot apart each way. You cannot grow
