This la true ot many of the hybrid parpetuals and also of some of tha new ': hybrid tea. roses.

There are a few new varieties of roses which have been teated sufficiently to how that they are roaea of unusual ex cellence, . Tha chances are usually againat a new rose being satisfactory, as a variety which will be satisfac tory through a course of years. Every new variety of rose, however promising. must ba tasted by aatual growth and cultivation before Its real vali is known. - Probably tha most noted of tha newer varieties of roses is the wonderfully magnificent hybrid tea Mildred Grarft, lilekson A Sons.

The more severely a roae bush Is pruned the stronger will be the new shoots. The weaker or less vigorous a bush is the more severely it should be firuned. The general rule for pruning s, therefore, prune severely the dwarf growing varieties and less severely the strong growing varieties. Tner are some exceptions to this rule which shall mention further on in this article. is T-fae first thing In pruning, rose, bushe: cutting away all the decayed am thinning the crowded and useless shoots. The decayed wood Is to be cut away to keep tne decay from spreading; the crowoeu snoots are tnose too close to gether, which will interfere with the growing and the blooming. Only one shoot should be left where two or three or more are very close together. tt is or tne utmost importance to re move the shoots In the center of th bush, bo as to lot in the light to the center or tne D'jsii. t ne useless shoots are mostly the unrlpened shoots and the lateral branches, which Interfere witn ach other. In cutting away shoots they should be cut several Inches below the surface of the ground, so they will not send up now shoots. There are one or two objects In prun ing a rose bush. One Is to produce specimens or exhibition roses; that Is, comparatively few flowers; the other Is to obtain good roses and quite a num ber of them. The latter are railed, for convenience, for gardun decoration, In this article. Which is preferable, the owner must decide. He cannot have magnificent specimens and plenty of thorn on one bush. A most excellent honk on roses, en titled "Poses for English Gardens," was written" by Miss Gertrudo Jekvll ana Edward Mawley. The American edition was published in 1902 by Messrs. Ctmrleo Scrlbner's Sons of New York. Th?y have kiniily given mo written nar- mlBsion to have printed in this article plates shown herein which are taken from plates printed in tluit honk Mi Jekyll's idea is to use the rose largely for garden 'decoration. The technical part of the book is written hv Mr. Maw ley. who is a well-known English ros shoots toward the center and back of the rose that is farthest from the sun, shbuld be longer than those In front and on the aides. Study of Fruning. In this article I hava not attempted to treat pruning except on general lines. What may be called scientific pruning re quires a great deal of study and experi ment. By study I do not mean studying books alone; I mean also the study of the different roses and their peculiarities and th best method of pruning each. I have endeavored to give briefly what I know of pruning from reading and from my own experience to assist others In growing roses, not onlv for their own pleasure, but to make Portland "The Rose City." Undoubtedly tha best, most complete and comprehensive book on roses ever published Is "The Rose Garden," by William Paul, one of England's best pro fessional rosarlans. I have the tenth edition or this book, published In 1903. It is a large quarto of nearly 400 pages Twenty-four pages of this book are de voted especially to th. auhtaet nf Tirnn. ing. MK Paul in his book says: "I be lieve pruning to be the most Important operation In rose culture, and. at the same time, the most difficult to obtain the mastery over and apply with suc cess." The best Instruments for pruning ar a sharp pruning knife, but It must be kept sharp; and a small, thin saw, smaller and not so wld aa a n. m.J for pruning trees. It Is much easier to UM. , ecatu.r or pruning ahears, es pecially the kind in which the hini haa a drawing motion, similar to the motion one gives to a knife blade in pruning.

The advantage of using a box Is that it can ba easily moved, and, th box may be moved so that th cut tings will have more sun.

IT all rosebushes in and near Portland were properly pruned now and flia cuttings planted, the rosebushes in l'ortian would be increased several fold tnls year. arlan. It wis in honor of his wife that I after th cuttings have started to grow, Ground Kept Moist. On reason why cuttings grow so easily at Portland, in the open, is that the rainfall keeps the ground moist, and the mild, even temperature, which does not hurt the cutting and allows it to strike. A number of roses in Portland grow from cuttings which in other parts of the world, in the open pr in hot houses, will not strike. In hothouses roses from cuttings are grown by means of what Is called "bottom-heat," 1. e., heat applied to the sand in which the small pots are placed in which the cut tings are put. gome roses, of which JHaroness Kotnschlla is one, are ex tremely diiflcult to propagate with bot tom-heat, whereas, the Baroness Roths child may be propagated here, with comparatively little difficulty, in the open. A friend of mine, on of Portland's enthusiastic amateur rosarlans, about two years ago put in about S0O cuttings in the spring, and all grew except three. After the buahes are pruned, it is well to spray them with Bordeaux mix ture, or some other proper spray. By proper spraying you keep off a great deal of mildew and the yellow leaf. Rosebushes are liable to Decome af fected with scale; not only the native scale, but the San Jose scale. If you VARIOUS METHODS OF PRUNING ROSES TO OBTAIN THE REST RESULTS. have a few roses, a email sprayer can be obtained from the seed or plant stores, and you can also obtain there the proper spray. If you have many Duahes, it may be well to have a pro fessional florist spray your buahes. By several people clubbing together and hiring a gardener, he in one day can spray a number. of yards, and the cost will be small for each person. About the only caution In spraying at this time 01 tne year is that trie spray should not be too weak, but not ao strong ar3 to damage the growing shoots. Zit Climber take Growth. Cllmblne roses should not be pruned. If a climber grows too rank, stalks may be cut out or shortened. If pruned aa other roses are, as a rule, they will run to wood and have but few flowers. In addition, a climbing roso is most beauti ful wnen it trows as it desires. The shoots and branches may be tied up, but, so far as possible, they should be al lowed to spread, and some of th branches be left to hang gracefully. This they will do If they are allowed to do so.

Is the recommendation In nearly all oooks on rosea wnicn x nave seen. In. order to beautify Portland, great quantities of climbing roses should be planted against fences and near the houses. If planted near the 'house, a nign trellis may be erected or a frame work made of three-auarter-ineh m.1. vanlzed pipe, which can be made by any plumber. When this latter framework is piacea in position, -wire netting may uo nunc irom it ana securely fastened at the bottom. The roses will climb against tnis netting, or against the trel Ms, -and In the spring' the shoots and Drancnes can ne easily tied to the net-tins- or to thn trellis. Climbing roses require comparatively little care, except the Marechal Neil. this rose requires a great deal of care ana attention, ana results are often dis appointing.

There ara now climbing roses of nearly all Colors Known in roses, ine namna ar tha iir- ferent varieties are too numerous to be mentioned in tnis artioie. Manv nt tha bush varieties have produced Climbing 'sports." These shoots hava an un usually strong growth, and become well known varieties of climbing roses. Any catalogue will give you th names of these roses. A climbing Caroline Test out has been originated In California, which is said to possess all the other qualities of the bush variety. Th ellmbing KM serin Augusta. Victoria (nicknamed Mrs. Robert Peary) Is also tag has not been painted for many years it would not be known, for th roses will completely cover the cottage. In planting a climbing rose it ia well to dig a large and somewhat deep hole, say IdUf feet square and three' feet deep. Fill this hole with rich garden soil, or ton soil 'from a meadow, and well-rotted manure, and it will require bo further treatment for many years. The southeastern part of France, near Nice, and the northwestern nart of Italy, near Genoa, are commonly spoken of as the Riviera. It has almost -the same latitude as Portland, the differ ence being leas than a degree. It is fa mous for its mild climate and beautiful aurroundings. It Is a favorlt winter resort ror ungtish peoDle. In the Ri viera great numbers of climbing roses are grown. These are one of the charms of the Riviera, and th blooming of tnese ciimmng roses attracts large numbers of tourists every vear. All varieties of climbing roses grown in the Riviera can be grown in Portland with practically no protection, and will bloom as well as in the Riviera.. It would make Portland famous as a roae city if climbing roses were grown in great quantities, and It would ba a a source of great pleasure to the Port land people. ST.

The St Andrew's society of Oregon was Incorporated in Portland S3 years ago. Many changes have taken place during that period. Only a few of the charter members are now on the roll. With tha view of bringing th aim and object of this society more prominently to the notice of our "brither Scots," who ar not as yet associated witn us, that they may be induced to Join our mem bership. it may be stated that tha ob Ject of this society is purely benevo lent. We assist members and their families and other Scotchmen, who mav be in distress; relieve tne sick; give de cent burial to any native of Scotland wno may ai in reaucea circumstances. During the past year th society has disbursed $650 for relief; all of this amount nsi Been exuenaea ior tne re lief of the Sick and needy. At the present time the monthly disbursements are averaging between $60 and $70. Theae relief disbursements are under the careful management of a commit tee, which makes close investigation Into the needs of every applicant, and if rouna deserving ne is given assist ance. As a great increase in the1 member ship is desired, a hearty invitation is extended to everv native Scotchman. son or arrandson of a Scotchman, to no- operate with us in the noble and useful aims oi mis society.
