HOBBS & Roses Among all the flowering shrubs that make for beauty, grace and ornamentation, there is none that can compare with the rose. The wide range of color, shape and size of the blooms and the diversity and character of the foliage gives it a wider range for decoration than any other single group of plants. When added to these qualifications are ease of culture, quick and ample response in blossoms, it is not to be wondered that the rose has been aptly termed the "Queen of ; In nearly all collec- tions of flowering and ornamental shrubs it occupies first place.

Dig up the soil thoroughly to a depth of 12 to 15 inches. Soak the beds occasionally with weak manure water. GENERA! JACQUEMINOT Hardy Roses Roses delight in an open, airy situation, unshaded by trees and buildings. Always plant in solid beds and each class by itself. Hardy roses may be planted in the fall or spring. 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. As roses are raised mostly for their flowers, it is necessary to give that culture to the plant best adapted to produce this result. A very rich soil is of the first importance and it must be made so by thoroughly working into it plenty of old com- posted stable manure in which leaf mold has been decom- posed.
