Most Important Groups.
Roses of to-day are of complex line­
age, for old and new species have been
crossed and recrossed until now our
cultivated rose, are divided into more
than thirty general groups. The most
important of these are: Moss, Rugosa,
Hybrid Teas, Persian roses and a few
June roses among the stiff, upright
growing sorts of medium to tall
growth; Polyanthus, upright but
dwarf, and Teas, of low or half re­
cumbent habit. The latter, by some
classifiers, are again sub-divided into
China, Bourbon, etc., of which classes
the teas and hybrid teas are the
beautiful. They bloom longer
other types, hence they have
most widely grown.
For colder climates the hybrid
peluals are a most valuable class, be­
ing generally hardier and larger

long as the teas. These have been ob­
tained by crossing the French and Da­
mask roses with the China rose.
Roses are propagated by cuttings, by
budding, grafting and layering. All
varieties will not root equally well
from cuttings and layers, and budding
is largely done.

The hot noonday sun Is very hard
upon the blossoms, and if the rose bed
could be so located as to get a shadow

hours after noon such a location would
be ideal.
The greatest pleasure to be derived
from flowers is to have them for the
freest possible use and to give to
friends and others who may otherwise
not be able to have them.
The soil needs to be well suited and
properly prepared. For hybrid per­
petuate a heavy soil is better, one that
has some portion of clay in its com­
position. The rose requires for Its best
development a cool, moist soil, and for
this reason the heavier type Is better,
carrying as it does a large amount of
moisture, and being also a little lower
in temperature.
condition. The latter is the surest
method for the inexperienced flower
grower.
How to Grow Cuttings.
How can you root summer cuttings?
Make a 4 or 5-inch cutting cf a rose
branch that is coming into bloom, or
is just through blooming. Cut just be i
low an eye, leaving a small "heel'’ or'
strip of bark attached. Trim off the
lower set of leaves even with the wood.
Leave the end leaf entire and trim the
leaf or two remaining, back to the
first pair of leaflets. Insert these cut­
tings in wet sand up to the last eye. I
Put them in the window and keep con-1
stantly damp until they root, which
should be in from 3 to 4 weeks. Teas
root easily by this method.
To root from semi-dormant wood:
About the beginning of autumn. Sep­
tember in the North, October in the
South, take your cuttings. Several
may be made from one cane, as pretty
well ripened wood roots after this
method as well as any. Make the cut
tings about 6 inches long. Cut just be
low nn eye, making a slanting cut.
and trim otf the lower leaves. Now
dig a hole by the parent bush. Put a
handful of sand at the bottom if you
have it, and put in your cuttings, set­
ting them one inch apart and firming
the earth very solidly about them.
Only about an inch of the upper stem
should project above the ground. Put
a glnss fruit jar over the cuttings,
sinking the jar well into the ground,
then bank up the earth a couple of
inches around the can. Let the cut­
tings, jar and all, rigidly alone until
spring is well advanced. It will be
found then that nearly every cutting
has rooted. This plan seems to be a
success wherever it is tried. North.
South, East or West. Nearly all hybrid
teas and perpetuals root well in this
way. So do moss, memorial and ram­
bler roses.
In the culture of roses the greatest
trials and disappointments are met
with in the insects that persistently at­
tack them and of which there are
many. One of the first in the early
summer is the green fly or aphis.

/We are not taking any chance in doing
this, no matter who you are. The com­
fort and relief you will procure will be suf­
ficient—a constant reminder of what you owe
/ us. If the protector fails to do all we say in the
- 'following paragraphs you may return it to us and
there will be no further argument. That will end
the transaction completely.
If it does as we say; if it gives you immediate
relief and permanent comfort you will send us 50
cents; and if you have bunions on both feet we
know that you will order one for the other foot
when you remit for the one protector you have
been wearing for ten days.
The Fischer Bunion
Protector is a neat, soft
leather device that is worn
over the stocking, inside a
smaller shoe than you have
been in the habit of wearing
on your bunion-tortured foot.
It requires no buckling or strapping, it is self-ad­
justing, it will not slip or shift, it will fill out the
hollows immediately surrounding tht enlarged joint,
and will absolutely prevent the shoe from bulging,
retaining perfect shape and correct lines.
Oars is a business built on faith.
Three years ago the Fischer Bunion Protector
was made in a small cobbling shop by hand. Today
the demand requires a daily output of thousands
of pairs.
If your shoe dealer or druggist handles our
device you need not write to us. He will lend you
the protector for trial on the same terms we offer
Jure and usually in large numbers.
The eggs are laid in the soil, generally [
in light or sandy land; they are not
often troublesome in heavy soil.
Paris green and other poisons do not
have much effect upon them. Arsenate
of lead, when used in strong solutions
(two and a half ounces to a gallon),
will keep them quite well in check,
but this material discolors the foliage.
In the early morning, when the bugs
are somewhat dormant, they may be
picked oft by hand, or knocked into a
pan of kerosene held underneath the
branches. This is a most difficult pest
to control. It will also attack grapes
and other fruits.
The rose slug is the larva of the saw
fly, which comes out of the ground in
May. The female deposits eggs in cuts
made in the leaves. The eggs hatch
in about twelve days after they are
laid.
They are a soft-bodied insect similar
to the snail, and may be readily de­
stroyed by dusting with hellebore or
by the whale oil soap spray. They soon
seriously injure the foliage if not kept
in check.
Another very troublesome Insect and
enemy of the rose is the rose hopper or
thrips.
These are small, white flies
that come in swarms, and they work
mainly on the under side of the leaves.

They will fly oft when you are attempt­

The white grub is another parasite
upon roses, the list of which Is becom­

the female bores down in the soil, de­
