Tl? rose is one of the most sat

viownrln the Northwest. Port
land flas built up a World wide'wa.er
1aan boshes are planted during
the dormant period. ' Here this
season extends from November un
til early March. - Two year bushes
are beat. The rose is usually budd
ed on Manettl stock a bardy wild
rose stpck. Many of the better
varieties will not start from cut
ting. : When planting a budded
rose, plant deep so that part of the
wood 'above the bud will be pro
tected by soil in case of a hard
freeie.. Additional winter protec
t ion: Is had "by ridging soil or
leave .up around the base of the
plants Jn .the fall.

better method is to rake out all
the moss possible and then feed!
the soil with a good commercial
fertilizer. A well fed lawn never
Is troubled with moss, whereas a
starved lawn soon is covered with

lawn favors weeds,' as most weeds
prefer a lime treated soil.

Editor Statesman:
Did it ever occur to you what
sort of a world we would have
here if we bad.no flowers?
. When that little girl was in
jured and bad to go to the hospi
tal and you took her a bunch of
sweet peas, you remember you
could not say very much, but bow
her face lighted up as she buried
her nose in the fragrant blooms.
They seemed to say. "Cheer up,"
where your words seemed only to
say. "I'm sorry," or "It's too bad."
Then on the other hand, bow
could we explain our appreciation
or regard for 'oil r sweet girl grad
uates, our mother's or our friends
without flowers to really do the
talking for us?; '
Then again, flowers promote
neighborliness. A few flowers
from your garden taken along
when calling on a new neighbor
often works wonders in "breaking
the ice" and give one- a good ex
cuse for dropping In., r,,:r
Flowers are also a great aid In
starting conversation. Their
beauty, their usefulness, their pe
culiarities, their habits and -their
culture are productive of trains of
thought better than the sordid top
ics of' neighborhood gossip, bard
times or picture hows. . A flower
lover or grower who habitually
associates with other 'successful
gardeners, and reads' good floral
magazines, will never lack for
friends or companionship.
Many a lonely widow, left alone
In the world, has found comfort
and sol ire., as well as usefulness
and enjoyment in the growing and
care of ,flowers. If we had no
flowers our beautiful wedding cer
emonies would be abbreviated xt a
simple declaration of the marriage
vows. A funeral would- be noth
ing but dumping a body in a hole
iu the ground. - Parties and other
social functions would, degenerate
into nothing but business or the
discharge of our social depart
ments. - . '.: .. .
The Portland rose show and
festival would be given up and
the Rose City would have to
change its name. May Day and
Easter would cease to be observed
and our garden club would quit
business. -
Real estate would tumble. Our
beautiful highways would be de
serted. ' '
Breithaupt's Flower Shop would
be for rent and Bateham start to
growing onions. Many might
grow a crop of chicks under glass
and Adam's and Plant turn to the
making of artificial flowers. The
state fair would fall off one-half
In attendance and fail utterly.
But iustjjiinnkl . Ifwehad no

in our diet.': fo feed would nfean
no grass and therefore no milk. or
butter. ' !
Our trees would be limited to
Just those that could be produced
by cuttings' and earth would soon
be, desert dreary.
I often wonder it we really ap
preciate our blessings here in this
beautiful world.
. Anyone who says that' flowers
are no good Just because we can't
eat them ought to be sent to the
moon. until he gets over his spell.

Travelers Seeing Beautiful
Floral Displays Carry
Away Good Thoughts ;
Editor Statesman: ,
For growing flowers, good fer
tile soil is needed and Oregon has
plenty of It. The soil -of Marlon
county Is very fertile and many
different kinds of flowers can be
grown.
Flowers play an important part
ta a community. When travelers
are going through our towns and
cities, they Judge what kind of a
community It is by its appearance.
It there r no flowers and the
lawns are unkempt they will think
that the town through which they
are passing Is not very progres
sive, and when they go on some
where else they will spread the
news that the aforesaid town is
not at all pleasant and beautiful,
and what .- 1b more, it will be
stamped on their .minds about
iow unkempt it is. and whenever
they see an ugly town they will
always think of it. If the cities
are kept up and beautiful flowers
and shrubs are raised as in Salem
of Marion-county and Portland -of
Multnomah, likewise the travelfiig
people willbe impressed and carry
away a lasting impression' that
will be very' com plementarjrttr our
cities. 1 1
People are always talking about
their tulip bulbs that, have been
imported from Holland., j Now It
is. too longer necessary, to send to
Holland for your tulip bulbs for
t.bere are tulip .farms around In
various districts, of Oregon. There
Is - one near Salem ' that is very
beautiful and profitable. Bulb
raising has; become- a valuable in
dustry in different localities of the
Willamette 'valley. . This 1s ac-
i counted for by . the fact that the
soil and climate in these localities
is. very favorably adapted to the
development of bulbs.
.. The capitol. grounds at Salem
are very beautiful with the many
different kinds, of flowers and
shrubs and Salem is talked about
for miles around of being one of
the prettiest cities in Oregon.
'Just how all eyes, are turned to
Portland, where the annual rose

show is being held. Portland Is
known all, over the United States
as the "Rose City" and is noted
for its beautiful "roses."
This is a fitting example of the
part' that the soil and climate of
the Willamette valley plays In ad
vertising Oregon.
