ROSE AND SUGGESTIONS
AS TO ITS CULTURE
The following contribution was
written by request of the Ladles'
Auxiliary:
In order that the work .of the
Ladles' Auxiliary of the Commercial
Club may be productive of the best
results, these BiigBegtlons about the
planting and care of ruses may not
be out of place at this time.
The winter climate of Grants Pass
Is bo mild that rose bushes come
through their dormant season with
very little, if any, winter killed
wood. As roses are subject to' the
ravages of the San Jose scale It Is
necessary that they be sprayed thor
oughly with a sulphur spray before
the new sprouts become too long.
Roses sprayed before March 15 will
probably suffer no Injury. The spray
ing process will not only destroy the
scale, but. will act as a preventive of
other pests and diseases. Pruning
is one of the most .Important things
at this time of the year. The long
growing season produces a surplus
of wood for next season's blooming,
and the pruning shears must be vig
orously used. Usually at least half
of the bush can be cut out or cut
back. Two special rules can lie men
tioned, namely, to cut out all dead
wood and to cut off all weak or
sickly twigs. The strong growing
varieties should be cut back without
fear of overdoing It, while slow grow
ing plants and climbers should be
kept within bounds. The general
object should be to keep the bush
open In the center and have It In
condition to mature the heavy crop
of blossoms of May and June. Roses
like La France and Caroline Testout
need much more pruning than The
Bride, Catherine Mermet and Maman
Cochet. You must adapt your prun
ing to the needs of the variety.
Climbing roses need little pruning,
only the dead wood must be cut out
and the bushes kept open to Bun and
air.
New roses can be successfully
planted up to June 1, but March and
April are the best months. While It
la possible to buy good roes In the
"sixteen for a dollar" collections, the
better way Is to buy two-year-old
plants, as In the latter case the roses
will give a large crop of blossoms
In the first season.
In setting out your new roses be
careful not to plant them near largo
trees or where there Is little or no
sun. The roots of large trees cover
more space than one would think
and roses will not do well where the
deeper anil Is drained of Its strength
by tree roots. The soli for your rose
bed should be spnded deep and thor
oughly pulverized. A liberal amount
of stable manure spaded In the pre
vious fivll will be of Immense benefit.
Set your roses no closer thnn three
feet apart each way, and make the
hole large enough and deep enough
to hold an ordinary water pall.
Spread the roots of the iipw bush so
they will not be crowded, and nlft
In the earth, pressing It firmly
around the roots and stalk, being
careful to plant the rose just a trifle
deeper than the earth line of the
previous planting. New roses should
tlways be pruned, chafed or d'ad
wood cut out and superfluous
branches removed, leaving an open
bush with blanches six Inches long.
Severe cutting hack will be beneficial
In enabling the new rose to nuke u
good hI a it In Its changed location.
If your ground Is not of t ti best, It
will be well to sift In a handful of
commercial fertilizer with the loose
earth when planting the rose. Dur
ing the full growing season keep the
ground loose and work It often. The
new roses should bloom well by June
and after the first heavy blooming
the plants should be allowed to rest
during half of July and August. To
ward the last of August a liberal
watering will make them sprout with
renewed vigor, and you will have fine
roses until the severe frosts of the
late fall.
These hints regarding the can1 of
roses during the season apply to old
as well as now plantings. As ea; ly
us the ground can be worked old
rove beds should be treated to n gen
erous supply of coarse stable man
ure, which should be well spaded un
der, A loose porous sotl with plenty
of fertiliser will cause your roses
to smile with fragrant profusion (lur
ing the whole summer. A short peri
od of rest In August Is advisable, and
the water may be given for the fall
crop, which often gives blooms sur
passing In color and frag'-apce those
of June mid Julv. Cut the f'owers
with a liberal hand slid iiiu ne tlic

It Is aUiixs difficult to p k out '
the ''besi varieties," a. tastes differ
grenttv as to what Is "best." There
, are, however, a lame number of
standard roses of tested merit which
all acknowledge as such and these
will be found In all good catalogues.
Perhaps the most favored Is the La
France family of pink and white, and
the Caroline Testout, which has many
of the characteristics of the La
France. They are profuse bloomer,
fine in bud and full bloom and will
grow almost anywhere. They adapt
themselves to hedge planting and,
being rapid growers, In two or three
years bring large returns for the
work given them. Other favorites
are Fran Karl Druschkl, The Uride,
Maman Cochet (pink and white)
Catherine Mermet, Bridesmaid,
Etoile de Lyon, Duchess de Brabant,
Marie van Houtte, Klllarney, Rich
mond, General McArthur, Generai
Jacqueminot, Kalsetin Augusta Vic
toria, La Detroit, Margaret Dickson,
Nlphetos, Papa Grontler, Perle des
Jardlns, Souvenir de Pierre Nottlng,
Virginia R. Coxe, Viscountess Folk
stone, Madame Francls'ca Kruger,
American Beauty, Paul Neyron, Ul
rlch Rruner, Mildred Grant, Her
mosa Roses, etc. Among the climbers
can be named Climbing Jacqueminot,
La France, Kalserin and Caroline
Testout, Marechal Mel, La Marque,
Reve d'Or, Glolre de Dijon, Madam
Alfred Carrlere, Queen Marie Ilen
riette, Beauty of Glazenwood and
the Rambler roses.
The above enumeration does not
exhaust the choice roses, but gives
those which are known to be among
the best Tor our climate. Other vari
eties will doubtless do equally well,
but it behooves us to be cautious
In buying the high-priced, floridly
advertised "new roses" until a few
years of testing have shown their
true worth. Grants Pass has now
many beautiful rose gardens and
only a small outlay In money and a
moderate amount of common sense
with the necessary labor will enable
anyone In a few years to rival the
best of them.

Clarence PunimiU Wins a Prize.
Some time ago the Oregon Asso
ciation of the Sons of the American
Revolution offered prizes for essays
on either of the following subjects:
"The Turning Point of the Revolu
tion, "Alexander Hamilton's Influ
ence on the Revolution."
There were four prizes offered for
pupils In the high schools and also
In the graded schools, which were
divided Into three districts, the
amounts of the prizes in each case
being $10 for first and 5 each for
Becond, third and fourth.
Clarence Pummlll, of the Grants
Pass high school received the fourth
prize on "Alexander Hamilton's In
fluence on the Revolution." This was
the only prize received In the Rogue
River valley, the first and third prizes
going to Portland and the second to
Brownsville.
Death to All Knockers.
Roseburg some time ago Inaugur
ated a war on the knocker and this
has been pushed to a considerable ex
tent. These pestiferous creatures
are ro longer to be toleiated in that
community and it Is generally whlsp
erel about that hanging Is none too
good for those who Invariably do all
they can to Injure the town In which
they live. Roseburg people are pa
triotic and loyal and all those on
the outside who adailre these quali
ties stand ready to applaud whenever
n knocker Is hit hard.
Medford long ago got rid of the
knocker. If one should drop In to
that town and start his hammer,
certrin death would await him. Ash
land has been much annoyed with
these characters, but of late active
hostilities have been declared ngnlnst
this class, and they are now electro
cuted w henever caught. Since the re
call was settled so satisfactorily to
everybody the gentlemen have be
come few and far between.
Grants Pass has long been afflict
ed with this dass of pests and has
struggled hard to get rid of them.
Tho Commercial Club finally took
the matter In hand and did some
good work In cleaning up the town
by declaring the knocker an outlaw,
but he was only suppressed for a
time and the result was his return In
full force In all Ms pristine glory.
Loyal citizens now declare thnt he
must be gotten rid of at any price,
and to this end a vlcttatice committee
has been organized the by-lnws of
which provide thnt all knockers bo
captured and n rope placed around
their necks and they he dropped from
the st"d bridge and left hanging with
their feet Just touching the water.
After a time thnt pnrt of their bodies
which the crows have left will be
taken ami burled In th big Mind hole
at the foot of tke hill south of the
bridge.

THE RULES FOR
WEATHER OBSERVANCE
j
Grants Pass, Ore., March 7, 1910. ;
Editor Courier: I am very glad I
that Mr. Paddock has been so kind
as to furnish us with a report of
weather conditions at brants lass, covered and three-tenths clear will
which town, owing to its location in con8tltute a -partly cloudy" day. Sln
this sheltered valley, seems to me to cereiy yours
hold a unique ana specially iavorea
position as regards climate.
But though I arrived at Grants
Pass only a few months ago, I have
already taken on the booster habit
and hence venture to take exception
to one statement of Mr. Paddock's,
which, In my opinion, misrepresents
the climate. I, too, have made daily
observations on the weather, though
not having the Instruments for re
cording maximum and minimum tem
peratures and amount of precipita
tion, my observations were necessari
ly amateurish In character. In one
respect, however, that regarding the
number of clear, cloudy and partly
cloudy days In February, my records
are sufficiently accurate. As to the
first class, I agree with Mr. Taddock,
but I differ from him widely in re
gard to the other two classes. This
disagreement in our records Is prob
ably due to a difference In our defin
itions of a "cloudy" day and one that
Is "partly cloudy."
If Mr. Paddock means to say thnt
there were 17 days in February on
which the sun did not shine, he must
be mistaken, as I have recorded only
5 such days, which I put under the
h"ad of "elo'tdy," leaving IS "partly
cloudy" days. Probably Mr. Paddock
classes every day as "cloudy" on
which the sky was not entirely clear
all day long, even If the sun broke
his way through the clouds and
shone brightly for a time, perhaps
even the greater part of the day. If
that is the teeh'icrl definition of
"cloudy," I have rotb'rg -nore to Bay,
save to repeat that In my opinion It
gives people a wrong Impression of
climate. In my records only those
days are classed as "cloudy" op
which the sun did not show his face;
if there was sunshine part of the
day, I called It "partly cloudv."
Even If I were to Include among the

Editor Courier: In compliance with
your request I will state thnt the'
rules or the weather bureau for re
