Moat Rohi,
The ordinal moss rose w as a "sport"
t tliild of t lie Provence. It seems to
me t'jere Is nothing lovelier In the
whole Hewer kingdom than a spray of
moss roe buds, jet how seldom do
tve see them nowadays! It Is difficult
to Improve upon the old pink moss for
beauty, but just as tine are the other
pink sorts, Salet, crested moss, Zenobla
and Comtesse de Murinais. And the
white sorts, with shapely buds gleam
ing frcm their bright green garment,
seem loveliest of all. These are white
bath, Blanche Moieau and perpetual
moss, which blooms in bewitching clus
ters and Is well mossed. There are
also crimson sorts, but these are not
so lovely. The be.st of these Is crim
son globe.
Moss roses have one drawback, their
liability to mildew, but with generous
treatment and a very little trouble
they may be protected from this afflic
tion. They should be planted abso
lutely free from shade and never
against b wall, that all the winds of
heaven may sweep around them, and
let their roots be set in deep, well
drained, rich soil. From "My Garden."

Irrigation.
In mauy cases the yield of potatoes
per acre has been doubled by Irriga
tion. In all cases the yield has been
very materially greater as a result of
irrigation, even ln-so called humid dis
tricts. America leads the world in agrl
culture, and in irrigation by pumping
Us leadership is unquestioned, even by
those who Insist thtat America Is be
hind Europe in "intensive farming."
By the sophistical methods of compar
ing our average yield of grain per acre
with that la Europe it has been fre
quently attempted to prove that Amer
ica has much to learn in agriculture
from Europe. But the fact is that not
the yield per acre, but the cost per
bushel, should be the linal criterion of
elllciency in grain production: Judged
by that criterion, America has led ev
ery nation on earth ever since McCor
mlck developed his first harvester.
