every year, and I feel justified in stat- ing that my collection is unsurpassed. Roses will grow in any ordinary fertile ground, but they are particularly fond of a heavy soil, liberally enriched and well culti- vated. The ground should be well spaded and pulverized to the depth of a foot or more, and enriched by digging in a good coat of any well-decayed manure. When the ground is thoroughly prepared, fine and in nice con- dition, put in the plant slightly deeper than it was before, and cover it with fine earth, taking care to draw it closely around the stems and pack firmly. It is important that the earth be tightly pressed on roots; water immediately after planting, so as to settle the soil, and if hot or windy, it may be well to shade for a few days. The ground should not be allowed to bake or become hard, but should be stirred frequently with hoe and rake so as to keep light and met- low, as well as free from weeds and grass. The proper time to prune is early in the spring before growth has commenced; no ex- act time can be given, as that depends on the locality. The Hybrids must be cut back severely. They bloom best on strong, new wood. In pruning the Ever-blooming Roses, all winter killed branches should be _ re- moved, also the wood which has become exhausted after several years’ blooming and younger shoots should be allowed to take their place.

2 CHRYSANTHEMUMS 2
If You Leave the Selection to Us You are Sure to Get Prize Winners. WE ALWAYS GIVE YOU THE KIND THAT WILL MAKE _ YOU CALL ON US AGAIN
HOW AN AMATEUR MAY GROW CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
The first important item in growing potted Chrysan- themums is the proper preparation of the soil. One- third manure and two-thirds sod, stacked together and rotted (must be thoroughly rotted), and run through a coarse sieve is best. ‘To one bushel of this soil a double handful of pure “bone meal,’”’ one handful of lime and one of wood ashes, and you are ready for potting. Drainage is of most importance, for without it the sur- plus water will sour the soil, the root will decay, and all your labor will have been in vain. About April 15 to May 1, get good, healthy plants, from some reliable flor- ist, and repot them at once in 3 1-2 or 4 inch pots, and when the pots are filled with roots, repot into six-inch pots, and from these, when filled with roots, into 9 or 10-inch pots.
In making the final shift, leave 1 1-2 or 2 inches of space at the top of the pot to receive water, and later on, when the buds appear, this space can be filled with ma- nure to act as a stimulant. Immediately after the last potting, plunge the pots in the ground up to the rim, place your pots in rows 2 feet apart by 1 foot, and water only when it is needed. Never allow the soil to become dry enough to wilt the plant. With a soft cord fasten the plant to a small, neat, cane-stake plunged deep enough to make steady, and if the branches are inclined to fall over, tie around the plant a cord which will act as_a hoop and keep it in shape.
_ If a bushy plant is desired, when the plant is about six inches high, pinch out the top; this will cause other branches to appear, and when these branches are 4 or 5 inches long, pinch the top out, and so on until July 15, when you must give the final pinching. At this season you can begin to feed your plants with manure water, made by putting a shovelful of cow manure into a half barrel of water. Give this once a week until the buds begin to form; then you can increase to twice a
week. As the buds begin to swell, give it three times a week until the buds begin to show color; then give it once a week and as the buds begin to unfold withhold all stimulants. I omitted to say that soot water is good, given, say, once in two weeks in place of manure water. Now to grow fine flowers on long stems, you must watch the plant, and as soon as the buds are large enough you must remove all as fast as they appear, except the larg- est and strongest bud on the end of each branch; also remove all buds that appear at the junction of the leaves, and fine, large flowers will be your reward.
Now, as to the plants grown in the open ground, it is best not to have it too rich; prepare as you would for your vegetable garden. In case you have some plants that stood over winter and they come up in clumps, you must take them up and plant them, only one sprout in a place.
I will tell you how I grow some of my finest blooms. I prepare the ground as above stated, and then plant in rows 2 1-2 feet apart and 6 or 8 inches apart in the rows, and train plants to one flower each. Place stakes 1x1 inch thick and 4 feet high, 17 feet apart in the rows, and fasten to these stakes by giving a cord one turn around each stake. Three cords, 12 inches apart will be necessary, the first one 12 inches from the ground. Stretch them from one end of the row to the other, and tie the plants to these cords as fast as they grow up to them. Keep up a high state of cultivation, and water if needed during dry, hot weather. When the buds appear take all off except one to each plant as fast as they appear. At this time give them manure water (same as used for pot plants) about every ten days until they show color, then leave off the manure water, but don’t allow them to get too dry. Follow this treat- ment and kindly let me know the result.

Shade, Ornamental Trees And Hedge Plants
HOW TO PLANT TREES
Preparation of the Roots—Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of new roots and fibers.
Preparation of the Top—This consists in cutting back the top and side branches in-such a way as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots, as follows:
Trees with branching heads should have the small branches cut clean out, and the larger ones, intended for the framework of the trees, cut to within two or three buds of their baes.
In cases where there is abundant root, and small tops or few branches, the pruning need be very light, but where the roots are small and the tops heavy, severe pruning will be necessary.
These remarks are applicable to all deciduous Trees and Shrubs. Evergreens seldom require pruning, but Arborvitae and other Evergreens planted in hedge- tows may be advantageously shorn immediately after planting.
Stlver-Leaved Maple.—A hardy and rapid-grewing tree of large size; valu- able for producing quick shade. Excellent for yard or street planting; does not throw up sprouts from roots. Nice trees, 10 feet high, guaranteed to grow; $1.00 each.
Magnolia, Grand.—Too well known to need description. Spring is the best and safest time for planting. This makes it absolutely safe in transplanting. Price, open ground plants, 75c. and $1.00 each, 2 and 2 1-2 feet high.
Ligustrum Amurense (Amoor River Privet). The true variety. This far surpasses any other evergreen privet. It does well in many sections of the North and East. For the South it is far superior to the California Privet, which loses its leaves during winter, whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its bright colored foliage. Strong plants 24 to 30 inches, 10c. each; $1.00 doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1,000. Stronger plants, 3-year-old bush, 15c. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
