SPARE MINUTES SPENT IN GARDEN
BENEFIT BOTH HEALTH AND PURSE
Even Small Back-Yard Plot of City Home Will Supply Average Family With Much Finer Vegetables Than Can Be
Purchased at Any Price Planting Should Begin Now.
BT RAL.PH R. KOL'TLBDGB.
TO cover the subject of the home
garden carefully and fully, -would"
require much space and more de
tail than the average reader would
care to read. Therefore, the writer
will only endeavor to give the Infor
mation In a general way, touching on
a few of the most important items.
Gardening is one of the most lofty
and inspiring occupations for man, wo
man and child. It brings us as close
to Mother Nature as we can ever get
in life. . The secrets of Mother Earth
are so wonderful and so unlimited in
their scope that the deeper we study
them tho more mystified we find our
selves at the end of our study. All
beginning seems hard, and In order
to be really successful one must con
sider gardening a healthful pleasure,
which it really is and not labor.
One year of gardening will prove
this: but this Is not the only benefit to
be derived from this work. You can
not appreciate the delicious flavor of
vegetables unless you have grown them
yourself in your own garden and
plucked them just previous to prepar
ing them for dinner. Tou never can
buy fresh vegetables in the city and
you do not realize the value of fresh
vegetables until by chance you find an
opportunity to taste them. Some of
your friends may have informed you
that it costs more to raise your own
vegetables than to purchase -them.
'Such an idea is wrong. ' Economy can
be studied in all works of life: and
with proper care applied to this work,
gardening can be made more than
profitable. Do not be dependent upon
wnat the provision dealer offers you,
but grow it yourself right near your
home, where you can pluck anj-thing
you want, any day of the season, and
something you cannot purchase as good
elsewhere.
Vlien to Start.
The planting of early seeds such as
cabbage, tomato, cauliflower, celery,
etc., should be attended to early in
February and March. The average
city gardener, however, does not care to
raise these plants from seed for they
require hotbed, or greenhouse and as
these plants are easy to obtain and
quite inexpensive, they are generally
purchased in season at the seed stores.
Cabbage. cauliflower and celery,
planted early in the outdoor garden,
will produce fine plants for late plant
ing. Now. if we do not start with the
hotbed, the first work begins with the
garden proper.
Location of the Garden.
In the city, it is not a question of
where to make the garden, but ''where
can -we make it?" We must make the
best of the available ground. Of course,
the most desirable is a location with
a southern exposure and where the
soil is well drained. While this is not
essential it is much better, especially
for the early garden.
Preparing tlie Garden.
Thorough preparation of soil for tho
sultivation of vegetables is of the
greatest importance, and Is funda
mental to success. In Western Oregon
the first work in the garden is usually
begun about March 1. No particular
date for starting work in the garden
can be set,' as the location of the gar-,
dens and the conditions are so differ
ent. There is only one safe rule to be
guided by and that is: Do not spade
or work in your garden soil until it
is dry enough not to lump up when
worked. When you turn over a spade
ful of soli it should be dry enough
to be pulverized and raked down, fine
and mellow.. All gardens should be
Seeply cultivated and the top soil pul
verized to a depth of four to six inches.
Soil of a sandy nature is especially
good for early crops. Too much atten
tion cannot be paid to the thorough
cultivation.
Fertilizer for Ihe Garden.
Stable manure is much used and verv
satisfactory, if it is well rotted anil
well spaded under. Avoid'Fresh man
ure. The greatest objection to stable
manure for the garden or lawn is the.
amount of weed seeds it contains.
Many gardeners', on this account, prefer
the commercial fertilizers, which
really are cheaper and easier applied,
say nothing of the troublesome weeds.
A 2ri-ponnd sack of fish fertilizer,
worked into the top soil at seeding
time or after the plants appear is as
good and contains as much real plant
food as a wagon load of stable manure.
The fertilizer question is a deep study,
and by its intelligent use crops can bo
doubled or trebled.
Remember, for best results, the gar
den must be well' cultivated before the
seeds are sown. Where the area is
small and must he worked by hand,
we would recommend to spade the gar
den twice before planting, putting on
the stable manure, if you use it, before
the second spading. If the garden is
situated low. or composed of heavy
land, it is well to ridge the beds, so
that tho water will not stand upon
them. Do not make your beds too large,
but try to make them all of the same
eize and arrange them to make your
vegetable garden just as .attractive as
your flower garden.
What to Plant.
Because this paragraph comes after
the preparation of the garden, do not
wait to get your seeds, after the gar
den is ready to plant. Buy early and
avoid the Spring rush. The seedsman
can give you more attention, and you'll
get your order without any delay.
Get a seed catalogue from a Tellable
firm which handles high quality seeds,
read it over carefully and make out a
list of what you think you would pre
fer to plant. If you are not sure of
the amount of seed you'll require for
a certain sized bed. or 50-foot drill, the
eeedman can tell you, or. you can refer
to the seed tables that are generally
printed in the back on all up-to-date
fceed catalogues. The cultural direc.
tions are printed on the back of most
seed packets.

METHODS ADVOCATED BY ROSARIANS
IN ENGLAND, VALUABLE IN OREGON
- " - ' " " ... , . ..... . . ,, . , i
Simple Eules Governing Pruning Are Presented After Careful Study Every City in State Should Have Society
to Promote Interest and Culture of Queen of Flowers.
PY WILLIAM E. SIBSON.
THE National Rose Society, of Eng
land, includes In its membership
the leading rosarians, not only
of Great Britain but also of the world
at large.
The growth of the Society in recent
years has been almost phenomenal, in
dicating thereby the rapidly growing
interest in the Cultivation of the queen
of flowers. As late as 1S00 the mem
bership was only about six hundred,
while at this writing some four thou
sand rosarians, professionals and ama-teurs,-
are recorded in its archives.
The gold meda.1 of the society has
become recognized and is accepted
universally as a certificate of excel
lence in any new rose, so fortunate to
be honored by its award.
The principal rose show of the So
ciety, has been held annually in Lon
don, since the year 1877. fts character
and scope are truly National. Here
may be seen the beEt grown roses of
England, Ireland and Scotland, and,
here are first exhibited those new in
troductions, which later became fam
ous in the world of roses.
Queen Patron of Show.
On the opening of the annual show,
usually held the first week in July,
her Majesty, the Queen, who is pat
roness of the Society, with her at
tendants, is the first to pass along the
exhibition tables, after which the gen
eral public is admitted.
Charges for admission are as follows:
Noon to ? P. M., 1.25: 3 to 5 P. M.,
60 cents: 5 to 7 P. lii., 25 cents. Mem
bers of the Society are entitled to cer
tain free admissions, and they may al
so purchase tickets at reduced prices.
In addition to this great rose show,
there are about forty other exhibitions
held during each season In various
parts of the kingdom, either by the
National Rose Society itself, or socie
ties that are affiliated with it. Tho in
come of tho Society, which is derived
from memberships, entrance fees to
the rose shows, special prize donations,
etc.. now amounts to , some $12,500 an
nually. Most of this sum is disbursed
for prizes, printing, advertising, etc.,
so that the accumulated reserve and
cash balartce is not large, amounting at
the close of the season of 1908 to about
14500.
The publications of the society, which
are furnished free to members, are ex
ceedingly valuable, comprising the results
of the best and wisest experience upon
the many topics Incident to rose culture.
For instance, and to make these remarks
practical and of some seasonable current
interest to local rose lovers who may
read this paper, I will quote the Intro
ductory remarks of the handbook 6n the
subject of Pruning Roses:
How to Prune Roses.
VThe following general directions and
explanations should be carefully read
before proceeding to carry out the in
structions afterwards given, or the read
er may fail to grasp the meaning they
are Intended to convey.
"The late Rev. A. Foster-Metliar in his
'Book of the Rose,' pointed out that the
necessity for pruning arises In a great
measure from the natural growth of the
rose. 'By watching,' he said, 'an un
pruned rose tree, either wild or cultivat
ed, it will be found that the first strong
shoot flowers well the second season, but
gets weaker at the extremity in a year or
two, and another strong shoot starts con
siderably lower down, or even from
the very base of the plant. and
thus soon absorbs the majority of
tha sap, and will eventually starve
tuce or radish bed. for by the time they
are well established, the 'early veget
ables are gone and out of the was".
Extra early potatoes will be out in
time for a late crop. The vine seeds
can be planted in the corn hills,- or
along the edge of the garden where
some early truck will soon be out.
I'nder "The Time to Plant" you will
find as a rule, two or three months
given. For early or first crop, plant

during the earliest months: for second
crop, or Winter supply, the later months.
Profit From the Garden.
? The seeds above, if properly planted,
and cared for, will produce close to $100
worth of excellent vegetables, and I
venture to say that, the person who
takes care of tho garden will get that
much more pleasure and healthful bene
fit, in addition to the saving, or profit,
-and then there is still one thing, more
of greatest importance, you will have
a quality of vegetables for your table
that could not be bought from tho
hawker, or corner grocerymalf. There
is as much difference between fresh,
crisp vegetables from your own garden
and the dried, withered produce that
the original shoot and be itself thus
starved in succession by another. A rose
in a natural state has thus every year
some branches which are becoming weak
ened by the fresh young sltoots growing
out below them. This is one of the prin
cipal reasons why pruning is necessary.
A rose is not a tree to grow onwards and
upwards, but a plant which in the nat
ural course every year or two forms
fresh channels for the major portion of
the sap. and thus causes the branches
and twigs above the new shoots to dimin
ish in vitality.
Two Distinct Operations.
"This being tho case, in order to main
tain the strength of the plant and to keep
it. in the shape required, the wornout
shoots must each year be cut away, and
the . temainder left almost their entire
length as in the case of climbers; or
shortened back to a greater or less ex
tent as the nature of the variety or tho
object for which the plant is grown may
require.
Pruning, therefore, is the art of im
proving the productive power and the ap
pearance of the plant. It consists of two
distinct operations. (1) The removal of
dead, weak, overcrowded or otherwise
useless shouts. Unripe wood which in the
Spring will usually be found to have dis
colored pith caused by the Winter frosts
should be cut clean away at the base of
tho shoot. (2) Pruning proper, the short
ening or those shoots which are allowed
to remain .after the thinning out process
has been completed.
"Tho most frequent errors made in
pruning are (1) leaving too many shoots
when thinning out; (2) pruning severe
ly the shoots of varieties which require
little, if any, shortening; (3) pruning
lightly the varieties which require se
vere pruning; (4) leaving rose planta
crowded with shoots and cutting these
to a uniform length all over the plant
in a similar way that a hedge Is clipped.
"In thinning out a shoot It should be
either cut clean away to the base of
tho plant, or to its sta'rting point on
the older shoot from which It springs,
as the case may be. When tho plant
has been pruned the shoots should be
left as nearly as possible equi-distant
from each other, and regularly ar
ranged round it so that it presents a
well-balanced appearance on all sides.
"When pruning a shoot it should al
ways be cut to a dormant leaf bud, or
'eye,' as it is called, pointing out
wards. In order to keep the plants in
a healthy and vigorous condition, some
of the shoots which are more than
two years old should each year be re
moved to make room for younger and
more vigorous growths.
Purpose Governs Method.
"Roses require to b somewhat dif
ferently pruned according to the pur
pose for which they are grown. For
Instance, shoots must be cut back se
verely if the plant be required for the
production of exhibition roses, but if
for ordinary garden decoration tho
shoots must, be left longer: If' to form
bushes they must be left still longer,
and if to clothe pillars, arches, etc.,
some of the shoots will scarcely re
quire shortening at all.
"To cut down rose plants as is ad
vised in the following pages in order to
obtain exhibition blooms may seem to
the beginner likely to endanger the life
of the plants, whereas in practice the
harder the shoots are cut in the Spring
the stronger will be the new growths
made during the Summer. -
"When pruning a rose for the deco
ration of the garden it should be borne
in mind that It is a decorative garden
plant, whether it be the large bush or
you buy, as there is between skimmed
milk and cream.
There is one other point that I want
to lay special stress on. and that Is.
the quality and kind of seeds you buy.
The improvements and superior quali
ties of the new and late introductions
In vegetables are just as great in propor
tion as the improvements in other lines
of merchandise and when you buy your
seeds, be sure that you get seeds of
high quality and of. the best varieties.
Now, in closing, I wish to add a. few
words about the general appearance
and effect of the vegetable garden. Plan
it out carefully, make the small beds
for lettuce, radish, etc.. about three feet
wide and eight or ten feet long, so that
you can reach half way across them
from the path on either side. Use a
small rope or a board to guide you so
as to make the rows straight.
'Plant the tall or large growing truck
at the back or one side, and last, but

not least, plant some flowering bulbs,
or plants around the garden to beautify
It. A hedge of sweet peas, dahlias,
roses, or flowering plants of some kind
will divide it off from your lawn or
main yard and Improve the general ap
pearance of your place and at the samo
time, produce a good supply of flowers
for the table and house decoration.
There is an old rhyme that runs:
"The man with the hoe is the man with
the dough." Try it and see. There is
one thing certain, the man that handles
the hoe will be better for his work, for
there is much pleasure and satisfaction
in producing fine vegetables and beau
tiful flowers, you get close to nature,
it's an interesting, healthful and Invig
orating pastime for the ' children, as
well as the older ones.
pillar to stand alone, or the dwarfed'
kind to be massed with others in a
bed. As a large range of kida is
available for decorative purposes, it is
necessary, in pruning, as will be seen
by the instructions which follow, to
take into account their individual hab
its and requirements.
"A large and strong-growing rose
usually requires spine two or three
years after planting to reach its full
size, and it is therefore during those
first years that the plant has to be
built up, and its framework, as it were,
formed.
"All roses tho first time after planting
should be pruned severely, that is to
say, they should be cut down to within
three or four inches of the ground.
Even in the case of strong growing
climbing varieties only, the strongest
shoot should be left more than ono foot
in length.
"Roses planted in the Autumn should
be pruned in the following Spring, and if
planted in the Spring should bo pruned
at tho timo of planting.
"After the first year they should bo
pruned in accordance with tho instruc
tions which follow:
For Ordinary Cultivation.
"In pruning roses for ordinary culti
vation or for the decoration of the gar
den the following rules may be laid
down, which apply to all:
"All dead and unripe shoots must bo
cut clean away to the base whence they
started.
"In shortening the shoots always cut
to an 'eye' pointing away from the cen
ter of the plant.
"Summer-flowering roses (those which
bloom only once in tho season), generally
need thinning and training rather than
hard cutting, and last year shoots should
bo left long, two-yea.r-old shoots rather
shorter, and tho three-year-old -shoots
shorter still. '
"The same thing will also apply to a
great extent to perpetual flowering roses,
but .in their case too hard pruning will
not destroy, but only defer the season's
bloom.
"Climbing roses, should have' some of
the olde shoots cut away entirely each
year, directly after the plants have flow
ered in the Summer, and the young
shoots lightly tied in to take their place.

The foregoing demonstrates how ex

is handled. Details which follow are
minute in their particularity and of in
finite value, not only to novices, but
also tho experienced in rose culture.
Tho right time for, and correct method

set forth, demonstrated and explained
by text and illustration. Among other
publications of the society are "Hints
on Planting Roses," "The Enemies of
the Rose," "Constitution of Rose Soils,"
"The Rose Annual," etc.
Consideration of these matters sug
gests the immense possibilities which
exist In our own favored Oregon.
Should there not be a rose society in
every city and in -every town? Each
society to be affiliated with a central
organization, to be called the State of
Oregon Rose Society, under whose aus
pices a great annual State Rose Show
could be held in Portland during Rose
Festival time, at which not only tho
Portland Rose Society, but every other
rose society in the state could take
a part.
In these days of rapid transit flow
ers for exhibition can be sent in good
condition from almost every center of
the state. Even the many rose-loving
cities of Washington could, and no
doubt would, share in such contests.
The state society could expend its in
come by the issuance at a nominal cost
of bulletins, papers, and other useful
publications pertaining to rose culture,
and generally in carrying out the objects
of its being, which should bo "tho en
