Balmer, formerly of the Washington Agricul College at Pullman, is when the bios soma fall. The article, extracts from which appear below, appeared in "Better Fruit": Roses may be propagated in a variety of ways, vix., by seeda, cut tings, layeringii, budding and grafting. But as these notes are written for the guidance of amateurs, 1 would say, better leave the raising from seed to the professional rosarian, and the bud ding and grafting to the nurseryman. This leaves you the two methods, cut ting and layering, which two are the easiest. First let us take up the method of propagating by cuttings. In all the old works on rose culture instructions something like the following will be found: "In the autumn take well ripened wood six or eight inches long, with a heal if possible, and insert in the ground five or six inches deep; the best soil is a deep sandy loam; protect during the winter: the following autumn the roses will be rooted and ready to transplant." This is the old fashioned way, and while not a bad way to increase your stock of roses, vet it is not modern. There is progress being made even in the matter of rose propagation. Many times I have had ladies say to me: "I have no luck propagating roues." There is no luck in the matter. Success is bred of an understanding of the matter in hand, so listen ! Cuttings of all semi-hard-wooded plants, and this includes the rose, root best and quickest when the plant is most active, or rather I ought to say, roots best when the cell-building material is most abnndant. This stage is reached in the rose at the time the plants have bloomed and are dropping their petals. This, then, is the time to take the cuttings, right in the height of sum mer. Especially is this true of such kinds as the teas and hybrid teas, which we now have in such variety, and which are so popular. Let us cup pose, then, that you have a dozen plants comprising several varieties and that you desire to increase the stock of each. If you only wish to put in a dozen or two cuttings secure a six-inch or eight-inch flower pot, and after having put a wad of moss to cover tne hole in the bottom this for drainage All the pot to the brim with perfectly clear river sand, or bank sand will do if it be free from soil; pack the sand tightly in the pot with a potato masher or piece of scantling, then thoroughly water it; now the pot is ready for the cuttings. Morning is the best time to do the work; foliage will be crisper in the morning and the cuttings less likely to wilt. There are several ways to make a cutting, but the best way is to secure a cutting with a heal and two-or three eyes. Notice that only a part of the foliage is removed. If you remove all of it you destroy the lungs of the plant. On the other hand, if you leave it all on transpiration will be so rapid that your cutting may suffer. Some strike a happy medium and cut off half the foliage. Of the five lobes on a rose leaf I usually cut off three, leaving the two at the base. Cuttings may be made with a sharp knife,, or better still, with a pair of small, sharp prun ing shears. Scissors are not good for the work, as they bruise the cell too much. A safe rule is to make a three eye cutting. Eyes aa here referred to are leaf buds in the axles ot the leaves at the base, which goes under the sand and two above. A longer cutting in tea roses is a waste of wood ; a shorter one makes a somewhat weaker plant. If the wood be a booming shoot discard all the wood except the three eyes nearest the base. Your cuttings made, you are ready -to insert them in the sand, and for this purpose you need dibble, which is a sharp-pointed stick, or a forty-penny nail will answer just as well. Dibble the cuttings in the sand about two inches deep and about two inches apart. As you pro ceed press each cutting firmly in the sand with finger and thumb. Your pot or box rilled, water thoroughly, label the variety and cover with a celery glass, bell glass or a large goblet, or in the case of a box, cover with a large pane of glass and stand in a north window, kitchen window ."pre ferred for there the cuttings will always be under close observation. Every morning remove the cover from the cuttings and wash the glass in clean water. This gives the cuttings the necessary fresh air. Every second morning' the sand in which the cuttings are ought to be watered with tepid water not too much just enough so the water runs out at the bottom a little, and if the cuttings are sprayed overhead it will do no harm. In fif teen to twenty days the cuttings will begin to callous, i. e., a bulbous growth will form on the base of the cutting. This stage will be made manifest by an altered appearance in the cutting, the leaves will be more erect, crisper and greener, and the plant will appear to be growing. In about thirty days most varieties will be rooted. However, some kinds re quire thrity-five to forty days, When it is known the cuttings have rootlets half an inch or more long then it is time to pot them off; ard this is a job that requires eciisi.ieraole care, lest you destroy most or the roots The best compost m whiijh fj pot these baby plants is good, rich garden sou, but there must be no rank manure or strong fertilizer in it. The Boil should be passed through a quarter-inch sieve, or at least made as fine as possible with the hands ; two or two and one-half-inch .' pots are large enough to re ceive the rooted cuttings, and after all are Dotted thev mav be put on a trav of damp sand and put back on the kitchen window sill, inside, or, better still, under a "light of . glass or in a cold frame on the north of the house, outside. They will require to be care fully, yet thoroughly, watered after potting, and should have no more water for a week, during which time they must be kept Irom sun and air at much as possible. After a week the little 'plants will have established themselves in the new soil, and from now on may have mote air, water and exposure, until they do not need to be covered at all. Now, please remember, there is nothing arbitrary in these instructions. If you have not got flower pots and bell glasses you may use a box and a pane of glass, and the whole work may be done outdoors, on the north side of a building. Whether Jyou put a half dozen cuttings in a pot, or a hundred in a box, or a thousand in a hotbed, the principle is the same. The cutting is a suspended plant and will, if given f roper environment, reproduce itself, t must be borne in mind never to let the cutting wilt, and during the whole time it is forming callous and roots it must not be exposed to sun or drafts of air, and that the sand must never be dry, yet not waterlogged. Do not 8 tend pots containing cuttings in saucers of water, for this excludes the air and prevents the downward movement of water. If you cannot get small pots in whioh to grow the rooted cuttings small bean cans, pep per or other small cans will answer; alwayi remembering that you can hardly get the cans too small, and that the bottoms must be punched full of holes to allow proper drainage. Re member, too, never to'expose a tin can in which a plant is growing to the direct rays of the sun, for tin ia a great conductor of heat, and all roots on the exposed side will burn and your plant suffer. CROP 4TFE1TCENT SAYS MILLER "In the Pacific Northwest this year I estimate that the apple crop will be 40 per cent of the average crop, per haps 50 in some places. In Hood River the crop will reach the highest average of GO per cent, it appears from present indications," said Sydney C. Miller, the Chicago apple dealer, to a Tele gram reporter, while in Portland last werk. "Last year you of the Northwest had a great crop. Trees, like human beings, must get some rest. The apple crop anywhere is, as a rule, light about every third year. This is due to be a comparatively light year for the Northwest. "Prices cannot be forecasted now. Owing to the less yield, it would be natural for a better price than last year to prevail in the Pacific North west. But last year the Eastern crop was injured, and no one can yet say what the Eastern crop this year will be. Both drouth and excessive rain are factors to be considered between this date and maturity of the crop, and neither of these elements can be figured upon in any conceivable manner. There is no hope of indicating with anything stronger than merest specula tion what prices this year for the country are to be." Miller, who is making a tour of the Northwest, inspecting orchards, and getting a line on prospective produc tion, spent a day here last week. Real Estate Transfers.
