M. CASH, Extension Horticulturist, says: ‘A good vegetable garden is a big help to any family. EE reduces the cost of living and adds greatly to the health of the members. Students of nutrition tell us that vegetables lead the list of foods known as regulators. They provide bulk and vitamins and are one of the best sources of mineral matter. We are urged to eat two vegetables daily besides potatoes, one of which is a green or leafy vegetable. This is very important to families whose circumstances do not allow them to purchase the proper foods for children. “The home garden provides a method whereby the unemployed. may exchange labor for food. If a small plot of Sround can be secured, anyone who is willing to work can grow a good garden. You Can Get P.-W.’s Seeds from § Your Local Merchant For the convenience of our patrons throughout the Inter- mountain States, Your Corner Groceryman, Hardware Merchant or Drug Store carries an assortment of P.-W.’s Mountain-Grown Seeds. The accompanying cut shows one of our seed assort- ments set up in a typical grocery department. These seeds are put up from our choicest strains and are thoroughly depend- able, having been tested at our Centerville Seed Laboratories and Trial Grounds. Go to your home dealer for your supply of P. W.’s Tested Seeds. But insist upon P.-W.’s Mountain-Grown Seeds and accept no substitutes, P.-W.’s are hardier and more productive, specially adapted to the Intermountain West as well as lower altitudes. P.-W.’s Seed Novelties and Specialties On the pages that immediately follow we list some of the outstanding new or special strains of vegetables of the more recent introductions, as well as the worthwhile of the well known varieties. Each year we test out at our Centerville Trial Grounds many varieties we gather from all parts of the world. Growing them as we do until maturity and side by side with well known types, we are able to compare their merits as to their adaptability to our conditions of climate. In this process of elimination scores, of course, are discarded. Among those of special merit we select the best and pass them on to our cus- tomers. Those that we list we recommend and know that are worthwhile. It costs hundreds of dollars annually to maintain these testing grounds; however, it eliminates all guess work and pays handsome dividends in the satisfaction given to our customers. We know that our customers can depend upon the varieties we list to fulfill to the letter all recommendations. With P.-W.’s There Is No Guesswork— By Test the Best Has Been Selected.

HINTS FOR HOME GARDENERS P.-W.’s Mountain-Grown Seeds Preparing the Soil A rich sandy loam is well adapted to gardening. Other kinds of soil are suitable, but stiff clays need plenty of fibrous material and must be thoroughly broken up. Sandy soils generally need additional fer- tilizing. When fertilizing is needed, well-rotted stable manure is always beneficial, but it should be supple- mented by commercial fertilizer containing a good percentage of phosphate and potash. Wood ashes may be applied liberally to most soils. For general use where manure is not available, a commercial fertil- izer containing 4 per cent nitrates, 12 per cent phos- phate, and 4 to 6 per cent potash, is usually best. Apply at the rate of about 4 pounds to the square rod. Work the soil deeply and make the top three or four inches as fine and loose as possible. Remember that much weed killing can be done by hoeing or raking just before planting. Do not work clay soils when they are wet enough to stick to hoe or spade. Planting When planting seed, avoid disappointment and pos- sible failure by means of: First—A constant and correct degree of moisture. The soil should always be moist, but never wet when avoidable. To retain moisture after planting, cover seed immediately with fine freshly prepared earth and press it down firmly and smoothly. This firming | of the soil brings the particles of earth into close contact with the seeds, prevents drying out, and fa- eilitates growth. Second—The proper degree of heat. This is secured by planting when the atmospheric and soil tempera- tures are most favorable for germination of kind of seed that is to be planted. The best temperature for each sort may be learned from careful study of our eultural directions (see page 4) and by inquiry among the successful gardeners in your neighbor- hood. Third—Covering the seed at the right depth. This varies with different kinds of seeds and conditions of the soil and can be learned only through practical experience. Fourth—Proper condition of the soil. It must be loose and soft so that the tender stems of seedlings can easily emerge and the young roots quickly find plant food. This is usually secured by careful prepar- ation of the soil and by not planting fine seeds when the ground is wet. Cultivating Stirring the surface soil during the period of growth kills weeds, loosens the ground so as to encourage root development, allows the air to enter, and helps to conserve moisture. Cultivation may be deep at first, but as the plants grow it should be more shallow to avoid injury to the roots. Starting Plants Indoors Such vegetables as tomato, pepper, egg plant, and celery, and many of the flowers can be started in- doors. Shallow wooden boxes three to four inches deep and convenient to handle are suitable for this purpose. Use rich, loose soil and plant the seed rows about two inches apart. Place the box in a well lighted window and keep the soil moist. As soon as the seedlings are a half inch tall, transplant to other boxes, setting them at least two inches apart each Way. Give the plants plenty of sunlight and only moderate temperature so that they will not become spindling. Before setting in the garden, “harden off’ the plants by placing the boxes outdoors on mild days, protecting them at night until they are able to stand the weather without injury. Hotbeds You can gain time and have early vegetables at small cost by means of a hotbed. The construction is simple, and the expense so slight that any gard- ener can provide one for himself. ; Managing the Hotbed In using a hotbed the essentials for success are: 1. Steady, uniform heat and moisture. 2. Keeping the soil a few degrees warmer than the air above it. 3. Careful ‘hardening off’? before transplanting to the open air by gradual exposure to cooler tempera- ture and by diminishing the supply of water. The greatest difficulty in accomplishing these three essentials, probably, is overheating the air in bright sunshine. Great care and watchfulness will be nec- essary to avoid it. Without experience one would scarcely believe how quickly the temperature in a well-built hotbed will rise to 90 or 100 degrees upon a still, sunny day, even when the temperature ouside is far below freez- ing; or how quickly the temperature will fall to that outside, if upon a windy, cloudy day the sash is left open ever so little. A rush of cold air driven over the plants is far more injurious than the same tempera- ture when the air is still. Again, in cloudy weather, a bed can go several days without watering, but will dry up in an hour when open on a sunny day. Transplanting In transplanting, either outdoors or from the hot- bed: Take care to avoid injury to the roots in taking up the plants. Set plants out as soon as possible to prevent air from coming in contact with the roots. Firm the soil around the plants so that they can take secure hold. Provide shade to keep the hot sun from withering and blighting the leaves. Watering The best hours of the day to water plants are early morning or evening. The roots, however, may be watered at any time. One good soaking is better than many light sprinklings. Cold-Frame A cold-frame is a simple construction of boards for wintering young plants, such as cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, ete.; it is also useful to protect and harden off plants from the greenhouse or hotbed be- fore fully exposing them in the open air. Select a dry, southern exposure and make a frame from four to six feet wide and as long as required. The back should be fourteen to eigheen inches high and the front eight to twelve, with a cross-tie every three feet. The frame may be covered with sash or cloth. Seeds of the vegetables to be wintered, sown in the open border early in September, will be ready to plant in cold-frames about the last of October. The soil should be well prepared and smoothly raked be- fore planting. Admit air freely on pleasant days, but keep the frame closed in severe weather.

For last planting of Beans, Sweet Corn, Peas and Radishes, or even Tomatoes, take the earliest varie- ties. Late sowings of Salsify are intended to remain un- disturbed over winter. § The usual distances are here given and the Planter must use his judgment for his particular case. Where garden cultivation is by wheel hoe and ample room is available, a greater distance is better employed. If the patch will be cultivated by horse, leave a greater distance between rows. 7 The Depth at which to plant seed cannot be given more than approximately because it varies so much with the condition of the moisture in the soil and the time of the year. All seeds must have air, mois- ture and heat to germinate. i “Early Spring,’ means as soon as buds in the trees begin to swell and the ground can be worked into gardening condition. “Spring” refers to those vegetables which are not so hardy as the above, and which are usually planted later because they do so much better planted later. “Late Spring,” is the time of year when the ground is well warmed and all frosts are passed. (“HH”) means plant in hotbed and transplant to open ground later. (*S”) placed in this column means that those are sown for succession. 4 Porter-Walton Co., Salt Lake City, Utah—Seed and Nursery Specialists for Western U. S.

Precisely the same culture should be given to each. In both classes there are round and flat podded varieties; it is thought the round are a little more brittle and the flat are better yielders. Culture—Beans are somewhat tender, but it often pays to take some risks. Plant in warm, loamy soil at the beginning of settled, warm weather in spring, and at intervals for succession until Au- gust. Rows may be made 2 feet apart, and the beans planted a few inches apart in the drills, or 3 or 4 beans in hills, 6 to 8 inches apart. If the ground is dry and irrigation necessary to sprout the beans, irrigate the ground first, planting the seed as soon as the ground is dry enough to pre- pare for the seed. Beans require very little water. After each irrigation or rain mulch the soil as soon as it is in good working condition. This will con- serve the moisture and require less water. Cul- tivate frequently and shallow; but never when the vines are wet. One pound will ‘sow 100 feet of drill, 60 lbs. per acre. : IT IS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN THAT—When your bush varieties of string beans have borne a crop don’t pull them up but as soon as you have finished the last picking, cut the bush off about six inches above the ground. A new growth will appear and in a remarkably short time bear another crop of beans. The same is true of Fordhook Limas. Green Podded Beans The green podded beans are by far more popular and much more universally grown than the wax va- rieties. Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod is the popular favorite wherever grown and used. As a home gar- den variety it is in a class by itself, but is too tender for shipping any distance, and rather light eolored for canning. It is medium early and quite productive. Giant Stringless Green Pod is a larger type of Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod, bush and pods larger and a decuer ereoue Se productive ane few days later.

Write for quantity prices. Dwarf Lima Beans We recommend the Dwarf or Bush type as being much more desirable than the Pole Limas. They are of easier culture as the vines require no support; the beans are fully equal in quality and yield, maturing much earlier; a very decided advantage, especially for the Mountain States. Plant the seed, if possible, in rich light soil after all danger of frost is over. For kitchen garden the rows should be about 18 inches apart and for field cultivation two or three feet: drop the seed 3 to 4 inches apart in the row covers ing 114.to 2 inches deep. ‘Limas will not thrive in Over moist soils. Of the: great number of varieties tested out we have selected two Which we think best adapted. Fordhook Bush Lima — Grows Stringless, other qualifications that go to very erect, does not come in contact with the ground as did the older sort, named above; pods are twice the size of the “Kummerle”’ and con- tain 4 to 5 large thick, beau- tiful green beans. In contrast with the old sort, which was dry and mealy, this is tender, sweet and juicy; a richly pal- atable bean. Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima— Our trials show this to be the earliest maturing of all the large-seeded Limas, and it is Henderson’s make up a desirable bean, either for the home garden or for market. This variety is decidedly best for all purposes of the Large Limas. Bush (or Dwarf Sieva) — Known as “Butter Bean.’’ It is one of the earli- est dwarf sorts, extremely hardy and productive. Plants grow without runners and continue to grow and set pods until killed by frost in the the equal or better in all the fall.

Kentucky Wonder (Old Homestead) Pole and Running Beans These beans require a pole or trellis to climb on, if planted in the garden, although if raised in the open field they need no sup- port whatever. Set poles four feet apart each way and plant four to six beans about one inch deep around each pole. Thin out to - three plants to a hill, if soil is rich. Pinch off ends of plants when they overrun poles, to get more perfect growth below. One pound will plant about 75 to 100 hills. Inoculate Beans. Helps make a big- Ser crop and improves the soil.

The quantity per acre sown varies with the sort and soil condition all the way from 10 lbs. to 40 lbs. per acre.

The farmer who is not awake to the money making possibilities of this crop has over- looked one of the most profitable crops known to agriculture. Just think of it: A yield of from 20 to 60 tons per acre and the feeding value, pound for pound, almost equal to grain; conservatively figured, just the average yield, therefore, would be the equivalent to a 1,000 bushel yield of oats, as far as feed value is concerned. CULTURE—Sow seed in drills 24 to 30 inches apart and thin to about nine inches in row. Requires 8 to 10 pounds of seed per acre.

Our tests show it to be the peer of all yet developed. It is adapted for either early or late fall use. It possesses all the good qualities of the best Early Snowball strains. The leaves are longer than the Snowball varieties, and enfold closely over the heads, giving a particu- larly attractive appearance when displayed for sale. The inner leaves almost cover the snow-white heads, bleaching them nicely, thus avoiding the ne- cessity of early tying of the leaves, as is necessary with other early sorts. Another noted trait of dis- tinction is its uniformity in maturing, enabling the grower to harvest practically all of the crop at one eutting. Its sure heading characteristics are re- markable and superior to any other strain that has come under our observation. It produces beautiful snow-white, compact, solid heads uniformly of good size and excellent quality. Pkt., 10e; 4 0Z., 75e3 0Z., $2.25; 14 lb., $8.00; lb., $27.00.

It matures with great even- ness so that the bulk of the crop is nearly as early as the earliest Snowball and harvest is complete in 120 days after date of sowing, under average con- ditions. The large, round heads are remarkable for great depth and pure snowy-white color. The curd of the fine texture resists in a high measure the tendency to “fuzziness.” Heads are firm and solid and have no appearance whatever of green leaves running through.

All Our Cauliflower Seed Is Grown by Danish Specialists 11 CABBAGE For All Seasons As with all other seeds, our selections of cabbage stocks are posi- tively from the best sources of supply, and the best strains obtainable, as proven by our own test. Culture—Cabbage does best in rich, moist, well prepared soil; extra care should be taken in working it deeply as most varieties of cab- bage do not thrive in shallow soils. For the early varieties in the mountain states and similar climatic conditions sow in hotbeds in the late winter or very early in spring and transplant to the open ground as soon as ground can be worked. Don’t neglect to “harden the plants off’ before transplanting and see to it that they are not so thick in the beds as to make them spiny. In transplanting to the open ground set in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and 12 to 18 inches between plants in the row. For field cultivation three feet between rows would be better. The fall and winter varieties can be handled in the same way or if the seedbed is in good condition an easier and equally successful method is to sow the seed in hills or with a regular garden drill in the open ground using about one pound of seed per acre; when plants are well out of the ground thin out to proper distances in the row.

For the ordinary house garden, it is desirable to use one variety of each type, and several plantings should be made to secure succes- sion. The seed should be planted in rows eighteen inches apart, as early as possible, and the young plants of cabbage head variety should be thinned until four inches apart. Varieties that do not head may be left quite thick, and when fairly well grown, those thinned out may be used. Nitrate of soda, or some nitrogenous fertilizer will pay if used after plants are set. A light, warm, rich, well watered soil is ideal as quick, rapid growth is es- sential to crispness and flavor.

It not only contains considerable nu- triment and has valuable medicinal properties, but is most useful in counteracting the bad effects of sedentary life. The disagreeable odor it imparts to the breath may be avoided in a great measure by thor- ough cooking or by eating a few leaves of parsley.

This giant, mild flavored onion was ori- ginally imported from Spain and this particular strain was developed by selection at Riverside, Cal- ifornia. It is a big, globe-shaped, brownish yellow onion weighing from one to three pounds depend- ing on how it is grown. It has an unusual sweet, mild flavor and in the Salt Lake Valley and sections of similar climatic conditions, if planted early, it can be thoroughly cured, insuring its good keeping and shipping qualities. On good soil this variety pro- duces onions measuring from four and one-half to five and one-half inches in diameter. A yield of two thousand bushels per acre is not uncommon. In the ordinary method of planting here it requires three pounds of seed per acre when planted direct- ly in the field. This is a most popular method in this section. The seed we offer has been grown from selected onion bulbs and we unhesitatingly recommend it as having no superior anywhere. Pkt., 10e; 0z., 25e3; 1%4 1b., 8Oe;3 1lb., $2.50, postpaid.

(See page 22.) The chief difference being the outer skin of the White Sweet Spanish is pure white while the other is a brownish yellow. Our observation of this onion at our own Trial Grounds, as well as experience of growers in the Salt Lake Valley, would indicate that it requires a slightly longer maturity season than the regular type of Sweet Spanish. It has the advantage of the beautiful white skin which makes it a more desir- able onion for market. The flavor is unusually sweet and mild. In sections where it can properly be matured it is a good keeper and possesses ex- cellent shipping qualities. The size of the bulb and the yield is just as large as the Yellow Sweet Span- ish.

Another great ad- vantage is that they may be left in the ground all winter, and dug during thaws in the spring before they sprout, when they furnish the first crop of the new year. Do not use fresh manure in soil where parsnips are to be grown. It will cause the roots to- divide.

No matter for what purpose you may want flowers—for cutting, for garden beds, for color, or for foliage effect— you will find ample material among them from which to select. In buying flower seeds it is a matter of greatest importance to you to know that the seeds you are getting have been produced from the best plants—those bearing the finest flowers. It is only through great care in breed- ing, constant and most careful re-selection, that plants and flowers are brought up to and kept at a high standard of perfection. Our aim is to secure the very best obtainable, both of home and foreign growth, adaptable to our inter- mountain region. And we have spared neither pains nor expense with this object in view. Sowing of Annuals All annuals can be sown in the garden in this vi- cinity in April and May when the ground is warm either in a seed-bed or directly in the spaces where they are to grow. There are some annuals, such as Poppies, Eschscholtzia, Mignonette, Centaurea, and the like, which on account of lack of fibrous roots, cannot be transplanted without a great set-back to the plant. These should be sown, either broadcast or in rows, in the location desired. Most of the annual flowers, however, benefit by being transplanted, as it develops for them a better root-system. These are better started in a coldframe or a specially prepared seed-bed of rich soil, deeply dug and finely sifted on top. Sow the seed in shallow drills or in squares of a convenient size, partitioned off with laths. Most flower seeds are small and can only be covered with about % inch of soil; the very fine seeds are simply pressed into the soil. Water carefully through a fine nozzle’so as not to wash the seed out and keep the soil moist constantly. Starting Seeds Indoors Many annuals, such as Snapdragons, Stocks, Asters, Begonias, Carnations, Celosia, Cosmos, Cobaea, Dahl- ias, Dianthus, Heliotrope, Lobelia. Pansies, Myosotis, Petunias, Phlox, Salpiglossis, Salvia, Vinca, Verbena, if sown outside do not bloom until quite late in the summer, but you can have them early if you sow the seed in the hotbed. Early in March is about the best time to sow, except for Lobelias, Begonias, and Stocks, which can be started as early as February. Sow either directly in the hotbed in shallow drills or in pens or boxes. Special seed-boxes are usually 3 inches high, 12 inches wide, by 24 inches long. The soil should be light, finely sifted, and well wat- ered before sowing. Scatter seeds evenly, but not too thinly. Even here it is to be remembered that in “union there is strength,’ for the fine seeds especial- ly, when sown too thin, very often have not the strength singly to break through the soil. After sow- ing press the soil down with a flat board and cover the boxes or pans with newspaper to prevent too rapid evaporation. This covering must be’ removed as soon as the seedlings are up. Always water through a fine nozzle, and only when necessary, with tepid water and as much as possible in the forenoon or midday on bright sunny days, for if the soil is too wet over night, the small seedlings will become chilled and damp or rot Off. Transplanting When seedlings have four leaves, transplant in similar boxes 1 inch apart or singly into small pots (paper pots are excellent for this purpose and quite inexpensive) shifting into larger ones if necessary. The earliness of starting the seeds will govern the amount and need for transplanting. Ventilate more or less according to the weather and gradually hard- en the plants, preparatory to setting them out when all danger of frost is past and the soil is warm. Cul- tivate frequently; hoe your beds often; and stimulate plant growth by applying a top dressing of fertilizer to the soil at frequent intervals. This will keep up a steady, vigorous, healthy growth. Keep seed-pods re- moved; never allow withered flowers to remain on the ‘plants if you want them to bloom right through the season. All our Flower Seeds are delivered anywhere in the United States. Our pkts. contain a liberal quantity of seed.

The absolute essentials are good seed, rich sod deeply dug, early sowing, early staking and frequent stimulation to insure continuous growth and good cul- tivation to keep the soil loose and porous. The seed should be sown as early in the Spring as the soil can be worked. In the vicinity of Salt Lake, early March in av- erage years is the proper time. It is best to make a trench or furrow about six inches deep, in the bottom of which sow the seed and cover with about one inch of soil, pressing it down firmly. AS soonas they are above the ground thin out about three or four inches apart. When planted too close they do not obtain full develop- ment. They should be staked up either with branches or stout stakes on which wire netting has been fastened; these should be about four or five feet high. Sweet Peas should be watered thoroughly and frequently and flowers cut often to prevent running to seed which will stop them from continuing in bloom. One ounce will plant 25 feet of row. To inoculate the seed gives added vigor and health. See page 75.

Observation is the only means of telling how many biscuits to feed at one meal. Don’t feed too much. Dogs are in best condition when not too fat. The biscuits can be fed dry or moist. If fed moist, cook them with veg- etables or pour milk, gravy or soup over them. The dry biscuit keeps the teeth and gums in good condi- tion. Gnawing on them produces the saliva so bene- ficial to digestion. Keep fresh water where the dog ean drink at will and give plenty of exercise. If any food is left remove it.

Plant Small Fruit for Profit Nothing in fruit growing at the present is attract- ing more attention than berry growing. Under suit- able conditions as to soil, proximity to market or shipping point there is nothing more profitable. Our local markets, even in small towns, are never over- stocked and will take everything offered at remun- erative prices. Fill up those vacant spaces this year. Culture of Small Fruits Bramble fruits like blackberries, raspberries, dew- berries, etce., should have all old wood (older than the previous season’s growth) cut out close to the ground each spring and the past season’s growth should be trimmed back to 3 or 4 feet in height. All of the old canes should be removed and should be burned. Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give good results. A strawberry bed should have a light mulch, after the ground has just frozen; and in the spring just about the time growth starts, this cover- ing should be raked between the rows and cultiva- tion resumed. “RED STEER” Fertilizer will greatly hasten and in- crease production.

Sweet Cherries develop larger trees than the sour, and should be planted at least thirty feet apart each way (49 trees per acre). The Bing and Lambert varieties require pollenizers and we recommend plant- ing the Black Tartarian for this purpose. One tree will pollenize sev- eral and in commercial plantings approximately one to twenty should be planted well distributed. Sour Cherries are smaller trees at maturity than the Sweet and should be planted about twenty feet apart each way, requiring 108 trees per acre. They are adaptable to a much wider area than the Sweet Cherries and require no pollenizers. They can be easily grown in the upper val- leys and colder sections of the intermountain states. They are widely used for culinary and canning and are popular- ly known as the “pie cherry.” Sweet Cherries C < About one week ahead of Lambert. One of the Bing Cherry best market cherries.

Apples “The King of Fruits’—“An Apple a Day Keeps the Docter Away” No other fruit succeeds over so wide a range of territory and under such diversified climatic condi- tions, and no other fruit brings so sure a return to the grower in proportion to time and money expend- ed upon its production. It has few rivals among cul- tivated fruits. Its mild and pleasant acid is a pa- nacea for many of the ills that the human race is heir to. No fruit can be more pleasant to the palate or more beautiful to the eye than the rich, ripe ap- ple when plucked from the tree or more luscious and beautiful when cooked. The grades and prices on all varieties except “New Red Types” are as follows, f.o.b. Salt Lake City: 10 to 100to Ht.

The cultivation of this noble fruit is ex- tending as its value is appreciated. One im- portant point in the management of the pear is to gather fruit in the proper time. Summer pears should be gathered at least ten days be- fore they are ripe: and August pears at least a fortnight. Winter varieties may be left un- til there is danger of frost.

They shelter the home from excessive heat and dust, add charm to the finest buildings and hide the untidy and unsightly places. There is nothing that adorns a city more than fine shade trees. There is an untiring loveliness as they contin- ually change with the seasons. At the first breath of spring, the swelling buds open into dainty flowers, often inconspicuous, but none the less beautiful. Then follows the delicate tints of expanding leaves that deepen into the richness of mid-summer green. The chill of autumn brings new beauty into the myriad of gorgeous hues that come almost overnight. The above snapshop shows a glimpse of the attractive home grounds of one of our Salt Lake City cus- tomers. By the judicious use of trees and shrubs a veritable wonderland of beauty has been created. To a greater or less degree your own grounds have similar possibilities. (See page 62.)

Dig a hole suf- ficiently large to accommodate the root, and pour a half pail of water into the hole; in filling, shake the plant lightly so that the soil may fall evenly all around the roots; this avoids cavities. well around the plant in order that it may be solid. Be sure that the buds or grafts, that is where the lower branches begin, are at least 2 inches below the surface of the soil. Don’t fail to prune off the branches as soon as planted, at least as much as shown in “Fig. 2” below. Bush Roses can be set 1% feet apart, climbing varieties from 4 to 6 feet apart, and stand- ard Roses 3 or more feet apart. To prevent the top branches from shriveling up be- fore the root system has been developed, the earth should be hilled up as shown in “Fig. 2”? below. The branches still exposed, should be cut down to the mound surface. Be sure to keep the ground moist after planting. In about three weeks’ time the mound of earth may be gradually leveled down to the nor- mal surface as shown in “Fig. 1.” Cultivate freely throughout the summer and apply a light top dress- ing of bonemeal or ‘Vigoro,” Fertilizer (see page 75) at least once a month throughout the growing season. BE SURE TO PRUNE BACK coe Pruning—This operation is best performed during the dormant season. Most roses do better if moderate- ly pruned. We usually remove from one-third to two- thirds of the past year’s growth, and all weak and Firm the soil decayed wood should be entirely cut out. As a rule — the more vigorous the variety the more it should be pruned. Besides spring pruning, many of the Hybrid ‘s Perpetuals require to be pruned as soon as their first © blossom is over, in order to grow new wood for later blooming. It is always the new growth which gives flowers. Most people are apt to prune too sparingly, which retards rather than enhances the free-bloom=- — ing of their plants. Spraying in Roses—See pages 73-74 on Insecticides. Time for Planting — In this intermountain region, the best time for planting is in the spring, immediate- ly after the frost is out of the ground, and. as soon as the ground can be worked nicely. Winter Protection—We have found that the most satisfactory protection is to draw up a mound of soil from eight to ten inches high around the base of the plants, then cover the entire beds after the ground begins to freeze with any loose material, such as strawy manure, leaves, ete.
