Answer: I would most certainly
take all grass and weeds out of
the flower beds at onee.lThe Shas
ta Daisies should be cut baek.
don't think they need fertilizer
nnleaa they are very tiny. A little
cnltivation helps the daisies a lot.
A troughfull of bonemeal put on
now would do no harm. Irlsis can
still be moved. But do not fertilise
them. Be sure drainage is perfect
in the bed to which you move the
iris. f
If you have plenty of water you
can move the spirea now without
harm. But you must keep them
soaked down and also cut the tops
back some. Evergreen shrubs may
be moved now. But these must not
be allowed to dry-but either. No
vember or late October is usually a
good time to transplant, most
shrubs in this country. If they
need fertilizer give them a trough-
full of bonemeal. I '
Avoid Quick Growth ow
I wouldn't give shrubs much
quick acting fertilizer at this time
of the year. This will give them a
raoid srowth which is apt to be
caught by a frost, i Bonemeal may
be given in autumn, quick fertil
izers should be given in spring
when needed. This applies to the
rockerv also you i might clean it
out and cut off dead flower heads.
but X wouldn't do a great deal
more to it this autumn. Perhaps
some bulbs are planted and will
come up in the spring. After
growth starts in early spring, you
will still have time to fill in vacan
cies. It is different in a rockery
you have planted ! yourself. Here
you will know where your plants
are. and you can tuck In an extra
bulb or plants this autumn.
From some one else comes a re
quest for "little bulbous flowers
to plant in rockeries.? Something
sort of native as. my rock garden
is a natural one. I want them to
bloom early for later I sow annu
als over the garden. :
Flowers for Rockeries
tvonder how crythronlums
would do. They are a dainty little
flower, known to most everyone in
their native haunts.' But they do
very well to the garden when once
established., They bloom early and
get better from year to year. They
need a soil of 13 loamy clay, 13
coarse sand and 13 leaf mould.
They should be planted six inches
deep, and should go into the soil
as soon as possible now.
"I want to start a rose garden,"
writes A. P. from Salem. Is this
too early in the tall? What varie
ties should I plant? And - how
should I plant them?"
- Preparing Rose Bed
Yes, it is too early to plant the
roses yet, but the bed may be pre
pared and your varieties selected.
The bed should be dug. about two
feet deep, and unless you are pos
itive you have perfect drainage,
put a six-inch layer of coarse gra
vel Into the bottom of the bed.
Cover this with good garden soil
into which yoa might mix a little
bonemeal not too moch., i
It is good to let the bed settle
for about four weeks. I really like
to plant my roses in November,
although many gardeners hold out
for February. However, all of,
those I planted in November, f re
q u e n 1 1 y on Thanksgiving day
(tsch, tsch). have done the best in
my garden. They should be plant
ed so that the graft is about ' an
Inch and a half beneath the sur
face of the soil. Wood ashes could
be scattered over the surface.
' As to variety, that is so much a
matter of taste it is difficult for
one gardener to select for anoth
er. If you. have an opportunity at

ly held in Portland in October and
there make your selections.
Suggestions on Varieties ,
If I were to make the selection
I certainly should include a Ma
dame Butterfly,- an Independence
Day, Autumn, Victoria, E. G. Hill,
Etoile de Hollande, Lulu, Count
ess Vandal, Johanna Hill, Hoosier
Beauty. Opinions vary as to dis
tance roses should ' be planted
apart I have tried 24 inches, 20
inches and 1 8 inches.-Those plant
ed the two feet apart have given
me the 'greatest satisfaction. The
bushes have been more sturdy and
the rosea more perfect." Because ot
the better alr circulation given
this way, it seems disease has been
more easily kept In check.
E. N.' Woodborn wants to know
authmn and .winter care of .tuber
ous begonias.
As soon as the tops have died
down from the first nipping by
frost, take them up, shake off all
earth and remove foliage - and
roots from tubers. Place in sand
and peat mixed in a cool but frost
proof place. .
Some experts advise scrubbing
tubers with a stiff brush to re
move chancel of any disease germs
being left over until next season.
Caring for Cameli
: Do not let your Camelias or
Azalea roots dry out now, or the
flowering buds will drop before
next spring. Last spring so many
wrote me that their buds had fall
en from the Camelias. This was
partly due to the early frost but
many were lost through drought.
We are told that Camelias stand
frost better if the soil Is wet. This
doesn't seem reasonable bnt I have
heard it come from the mouths of
experts. A mulch of peat moss or
sawdust over the soil a r o n n d
broad leaved evergreens is also a
good winter protection. If yon
placed a comparatively deep?
mulch early tn the summer to pre
vent drying out. it will net be nec
essary to give them a mulch again
this autumn. 1
"I am from California," wtltes
a Salem gardener. There we usual
ly planted sweet peas at this time
of the year. Can we do that here?
Ours, bloomed in January. I'd like
to have them bloom as early as
possible."
Here in the Willamette valley
we cannot have sweet peas in
bloom in January. However, we
often sow sweet pea seeds here in
autumn and thus have them in
bloom" much earlier than if we
waited to plant the seeds in
spring.
